| Rob Ford: Dispute erupts at council meeting |
| 2013-11-19 |
| [THESTAR] An unprecedented council meeting descended temporarily into chaos on Monday, when Mayor Rob Ford and Councillor Doug Ford got into a screaming match with spectators. The dispute was ignited about two hours into the meeting, when Ford rose from his seat and walked toward the back of chambers with a member of his staff, who appeared to be filming members of the public seated there. While some spectators expressed their support, others chanted: "Shame! Shame! Shame!" Doug Ford got into a stand off with one man, calling him a "punk." The councillor, who earlier accused the members of the public gathered for the meeting of being union supporters, told the crowd, "Why don't we get the real people of Toronto here?" |

| #4 B nails it. It seems like it takes too long to get absolute loons safely out of office (ex: San Diego Mayor Filner). |

| #3 We'll all laugh until this poor fellow shows up at a council meeting with a pistol. He needs serious help. |

| #2 Saw a little film clip this morning where Rob rushed toward the front of the room, barreling right over an old lady. He did help her back to her feet... Unfortunately, he makes the US gubbamint look good by comparison. |
