Toronto’s City Council descended into chaos on Monday afternoon during a debate about stripping Mayor Rob Ford of most of his remaining powers following a string of scandals, including his admission to smoking crack cocaine, abusing alcohol and acknowledgment of a leaked video of Ford threatening to kill a man.

In the meeting, Ford and his brother Doug, a council member, mocked critics, with Councillor Ford calling them “scumbags.” In the midst of some “angry exchanges,” Rob Ford then rushed council member Pam McConnell, who regained composure and attempted to calm Ford down.

According to the Globe and Mail, Councillor Ford was heard challenging another member after the altercation, saying, “You are a disgrace. Bring it on, buddy. Get the real taxpayers down here.”

On Fox News on Sunday, the mayor apologized for his erratic behavior and announced that he is “seeking professional help,” though he denies that he has an addiction problem. Ford also announced aspirations to run for prime minister of Canada.

The Ford brothers will debut in “Ford Nation,” a political talk show-turned-reality TV show on the Sun News Network at 8 Monday night.

Did he "attack" her or did he run her over while trying to reach someone else?

I agree with you - I think she just got in the way.

Either way - he just needs to step down and go away

He was ok - people liked him because he honestly tried to cut spending to reduce (or keep down) the taxes. He also went after Councillor perks and some high profile spending. I didn't like some of his policies and he is too much of a buffoon to be in that position (outside of his scandals)

He gets accused and the first thing he says after evidence comes out is - I'm still going to run for mayor and let the people decide :)

then knowing damn well he's under the microscope for any move he makes....he starts making horrible comments and acting aggressively every chance he gets


:rofl: the guy just doesn't get it...
