Who will deliver us from this strange, limited and vulgar man? Only Rob Ford, it now seems, could hope to persuade the men and women of Toronto city council to forgive him by announcing on international television that “I really F-upped.” His shocking and yet for him, commonplace admission, that he has purchased illegal drugs while in office just makes the point that Mr. Ford can’t grasp the enormity of his offenses. His accumulated behaviour has long since passed critical mass. Mr Ford has detonated his office. There is no apology or recounting of regret that can restore things or permit him to go on. The mayor’s refrain that he doesn’t know what else he say is to groan for. He has no decency no shame and no grasp of reality.
