Rob Ford Out, Doug Ford In [View all]

First I have to say that, having lost several family members to cancer and having had my own scare, I feel very sorry that Rob Ford and his family are facing this period of unknown with the potential of a devastating prognosis. He's clearly not a healthy man.

But now I have to add -- Really? Doug Ford? Is the family that convinced of their Camelot fantasy that they feel another Ford can just waltz in and become mayor? I can only hope that at least some of the Ford remoras wise up to how cynical this move is. On the plus side, the fact that Doug lacks his brother's Chris Farley-esque lovable goof persona might put a few people off.
