The Daily Show and The Colbert Report had a field day with Rob Ford’s belated admission that yes he did smoke crack — and hey, it was during one of his drunken stupours, so that’s different, amirite?
Jon Stewart makes a great point on the November 5th Daily Show:
“Mayor Ford’s a lot of fun to ridicule. My guess is, not a lot of fun to eulogize.”
He also says something I agree with as a humour writer: Even though I’d lose a lot of good source material, I’d much rather Rob Ford went into rehab and cleaned out rather than have to write an article that began with something like “While I disagreed with the guy on many, many, many points, I didn’t want to see him die tragically from an overdose/substance-fuelled misadventure/drug gang-related incident”.
The phrase “Chris Farley tribute mayor” is apt in so many ways.
