Rob Ford announced last Wednesday that he would be checking into a rehab facility.

Mayor Rob Ford’s exact whereabouts are still unknown, but according to a media report, he is enjoying his time in rehab.

“I feel great,” he told Joe Warmington, a columnist for the Toronto Sun. “Rehab is amazing. It reminds me of football camp. Kind of like the Washington Redskins camp I went to as a kid.”

Ford announced last Wednesday evening that he would be stepping down from his campaign and checking into a rehab facility to deal with substance abuse issues — though his statement focused primarily on alcohol use.

Though Ford would not lay down an exact timeline on his return, he was adamant that he will return in time for elections on October 28.

On Tuesday, Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong confirmed Ford is in rehab, but refused to say where he was.

“Councillor Ford passed me the phone because Rob wanted to speak to me,” Minnan-Wong told reporters

“He said that he was in rehab, he was working out. He asked how things were going at council.”

On Tuesday, The Globe and Mail reported that Ford voluntarily turned back from the United States after landing in Chicago, before he could be denied entry.

Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, a supporter of the mayor on council, also chimed in Tuesday, telling reporters people deserve to know where Ford is receiving treatment so it can be verified.

“I think that, based on the mayor’s behaviour over the last number of years, because of the amount of opportunity he’s had to come forward and tell the truth and hasn’t on different issues. I would say to you right now that at the very least the city should know the city that he’s in for treatment, and with some verification that he is in fact being treated. And then I’d ask everybody to just leave him alone and let him be treated,” Mammoliti said at city hall during a break in Tuesday’s council meeting.

So far, the name and location of his rehab facility is unknown.

Council will resume at City Hall Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., without the mayor.

I just don't know where to start here. I might as well grab a random thought: addicts lie. It's what they do. Ford has been lying to the nation and to his constituents for years now, and in particular he has been lying to us about his addiction(s), consistently denying flagrant abuse of crack cocaine in public places. So why are people so easily duped? He's "in rehab" now (or so we are told). So doesn't that mean he's getting better?

If Ford is indeed in rehab, it sounds more like a luxury resort to me. If you're in real recovery, you don't feel "great". You usually feel totally wretched, either experiencing the horrendous effects of physical withdrawal or beginning to realize how your addiction has laid waste to your life and your loved ones. This isn't happening, folks, because RoFo is a shallow bastard with no capacity for real insight and self-reflection. He has never had ANY negative consequences for his appalling behaviour, and may even win the next election, not in spite of but because of it.

Ford will say whatever will get him out of trouble and/or call attention to himself. He's playing the rehab card to gain sympathy, and the appalling thing is, IT'S WORKING. He's a slimy slug of a man, repellent in every way, and the people forgive him over and over again, seemingly not caring that he has made a laughingstock of himself and of his entire country, fodder for late-night comedians and editorialists everywhere. This has gone global, folks, and his next escapade - leaving "rehab" early because he "feels so great" that his counsellors have said he can go - will only gain him more attention, the thing he thrives on. Fire up the crack pipe, Dougie - he's heading home.

Rob Ford Sings "Ford Nation!"

Rob Ford on Jimmy Kimmel: pounding 'em back

Rob Ford sneaks a quick one on Jimmy Kimmel. Ford was so intoxicated that he didn't even realize he was being eviscerated in front of millions of people. All Kimmel had to do was show the video evidence of Ford falling down, swearing in Jamaican, uttering death threats and knocking down old ladies to have the audience in horrified stitches. Meanwhile RoFo believed the jeering laughter was a sign of admiration and even adulation of his greatness. Did Kimmel genuinely dislike Rob Ford? I think so. I think he thinks he's a scuzzbag, and he'd be right. But it's too bad we have to resort to showing videos of  drug-abusing sociopathic pricks to get a laugh.

The many faces of Rob Ford

Rob Ford, Rob Ford, our friend Rob Ford

If you didn't pull this shit, we'd soon get bored.

A drunken rant in a takeout joint?

Let's face it, he's crazy, we get the point.

Here RoFo moves at a faster pace.

The takeout customers think he's a a disgrace.

A guy in the bathroom is taking this video,

Until Ford hollers at him, "I want to get rid-e-o."

And now our boy is really shakin'

As he rants and shouts bad things in Jamaican.

Clearly this fellow is very upset;

More clearly, someone should go grab a net.

Here Rob Ford looks all artistic,

Though these gif settings don't make him any less sadistic.

He looks kind of cool though, all grainy and stuff,

Though the next day, he's gonna feel pretty rough.

"But I didn't see her! I was in a drunken stupor!"

You can't make this stuff up. Now Rob Ford is tackling little old ladies and pushing them over backwards while they flail helplessly in terror.

Why did he do this? Why did he start running? It makes no sense.

This man will only be stopped when he kills someone. And it's sooner than you think.

This gave me the chills, if not the willies!

Rob Ford's "Downfall"

Ford and Duffy, Ford and Duffy

PREFACE. For those of you who aren't Canadian. . .

GOOD FOR YOU!

Cuz then you don't have to hear about 

these two hulking politicians
who are always up to no good. 

Do they live in a parallel universe
where fat guys are always in trouble?

Makes me think I'm seeing double. . . 

 

INTRO. 

Look over yonder! What do you see?

These two could almost be brothers.
But they seem to be lacking in brotherly love -

The truth is, they're both just mothers. 

(Do I hear a song coming on?)

Ford and Duffy, Ford and Duffy

When they lie to us they make us huffy,

Duff’s like Rob’s twin brother:

You can’t have one without the other

Ford and Duffy, large and fluffy

Now the voters have all had enough, see!

Always in the papers

We're sick to death of all their capers

Duff has his hand in the cookie jar,

And Ford puffs away on his pipe

No scale can weigh theft and arrogance,

It's such a load of tripe!

Don't you know your freedom's ending,

What's that shadow that you see descending?

It’s the law’s big hammer -

You’ll soon be living in the slammer!

Rob Ford: THE LOST VIDEO

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford appeared at a recent press conference to dispell the vicious, untrue, really really bad rumors swirling around his mayorship.

Among other things, Ford stated, "I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine. I did not use crack cocaine this morning. I did not use crack cocaine this afternoon. Nor do I intend to use crack cocaine during this press conference."

"I do not sell pot to middle school students. I did not sell pot to middle school students this morning, I did not sell pot to middle school students this afternoon, and I will not sell pot to middle school students during this press conference."

"I will make no comment on a video (which may or may not exist) depicting my use of a crack pipe (which may or may not exist) exposing a drug dependency (which may or may not exist) that will likely end my career (which may or may not exist)."
