Mayor Rob Ford, according to US political commentator Keith Olbermann is “the worst person in the world.” Worst person in the world? According to Olbermann, no one is worse than Rob Ford, not one person in the US or even the world is worse than the Mayor that could, Rob Ford. I am by no means a fan of Rob Ford or his brother Doug, however, there are many worse people in the world than him. One not so nice person was just killed by rebels recently that comes to mind, but that’s another article.

Olbermann is referring to the Mayor’s reaction to a “Comedy Show” ambushing him in the driveway of his home for a segment of their show. The reaction to this intrusion is what Olbermann is referring too. The Mayor called 911 and apparently went into a curse word filled rant on the poor woman who just so happened to answer the call. The Mayor apparently and admittedly used the F-Word several times during his “several” calls to 911 and allegedly also called the woman a Bitch. This however is being contested by the Mayor. He admits to using the F-word but denies ever calling the woman or using the word, Bitch. Interestingly though, all 911 calls are recorded. It would be very easy for the Mayor to clear this matter up by releasing the tapes. The question is why won’t he? One reason is because this Mayor does whatever he wants and could care less what others say. On a side not, how did he ever get elected in the first place - I digress. The Police Chief could also mandate the release of the tapes but he has said no and decreed the case closed. I wonder who appoints the Police Chief? Mayor Ford couldn’t take a little joke from a comedy show, one can only imagine what would happen if 60 Minutes showed up at his door. A question to all Torontonians, how’s Mel Lastman lookin just about now?
