Get crackin', Mr. Mayor, and just resign already!

The limited edition Mayor Rob Ford bobblehead bong!

For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks, Toronto has a looney-tunes mayor named Rob Ford who has been making quite a name for himself while embarrassing his city at the same time. Following repeated denials stretching back to May, he finally admitted last week that he has smoked crack cocaine (once, he says) after police obtained a video of him hitting a crack pipe. Ford's lame explanation was that he did it while in "a drunken stupor", as if that somehow excused his bad behavior. 
In August, His Dishonor told reporters after delivering a speech at a fitness center (I can't imagine what Chris Farley-lookalike Ford was doing there!) that he has "smoked a lot" of pot and new allegations have arisen during the ongoing police investigation that he has bought illegal drugs in the past two years. (See excerpt from CNN story below.)
Despite the admissions of drug use and all of his other shenanigans, which have included being "hammered" at a street festival in August and "out of control" drunk at city hall during St Patrick's Day celebrations last year, Ford remains defiant and has refused to resign. 
A few days after he admitted smoking crack, a three-minute video surfaced on the Internet showing Ford, 44, stumbling around someone's dining room, ranting and raving in an incoherent manner, wildly gesticulating and threatening to kill someone at the top of his voice. You must see this to believe it! LOL
Then yesterday the Toronto City Council tried to force him to take a leave of absence to get some help. That didn't work either...

From CNN:

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted during a heated City Council debate Wednesday that he had bought illegal drugs in the past two years, but he firmly refused to step down from his job even after nearly every councilor stood up to ask him to take a leave of absence.
The mayor made the confession under direct questioning by a councilor who has introduced a motion that would ask Ford to take a leave of absence and get help for his admitted drug use. Ford publicly admitted last week that he smoked crack cocaine last year in a "drunken stupor," but his comments Wednesday marked the first time he acknowledged having bought illegal drugs.
Ford paused for a long time after Councilor Denzil Minnan-Wong asked him if he had bought illicit narcotics in the past two years.
Then Ford replied, "Yes I have."
"I understand the embarrassment that I have caused. I am humiliated by it," Ford said.
But he then turned defiant, saying he was not an addict of any sort and rebuffed suggestions from council members that he should seek help. He insisted he is a "positive role model for kids who are down and out."

Later in the afternoon, Ford tried to introduce a motion calling for all City Council members to undergo drug and alcohol testing, which the council responded to with derisive laughter.
And not only does Ford have his big fat head planted firmly in the sand, but obviously his entire family is in denial. Last Thursday, Ford's mother and sister told a Toronto television station he would not resign.
"It isn't like it has affected his work," said Ford's sister, Kathy.
Asked whether she thought her brother was an alcoholic, she responded: "It depends on what you consider an alcoholic." How do you like that shit?!
Anyway, you can watch a really awesome music video about him here. Created by DJ Steve Porter, the minute-and-a-half-long video features mashed-up clips of Ford set to a really catchy tune. I highly recommend it! LMAO!!!
