The mayor of Toronto: Comedic Genius?

Last edited Tue Nov 19, 2013, 04:10 AM - Edit history (1)

The Toronto mayor scandal makes me miss Chris Farley. Can't you just imagine his playing the best Rob Ford ever?

Some have pointed out that Ford does a fine job of playing himself. I'm not sure whether he's channeling Farley's ghost or a comedic genius in his own right, but he sure is fun to watch, maybe not so much if you're from Toronto.

get his brother from an altercation between brother (also a city councilor) and members of the public.

The most Chris Farleyesque moves were definitely in the released video of the mayor in a drunken rant about how he was gonna kill somebody.
