Rush Limbaugh and Rob Ford

Does the crack smoking Mayor of Toronto remind anyone of another drug guzzling overweight celebrity?
Both are infamous for making stupid remarks, both are immoral, by normal standards, both are drug users, both are a disgrace to their  profession.
Check out this report:

Rob Ford our Very Own Rush Limbaugh
http://oddmanic.wordpress.com/2010/08/20/rob-ford-our-very-own-rush-limbaugh/

Ford’s pattern of dishonesty reminds this blogger of one of America’s most polarizing, controversial figures – radio broadcasting legend Rush Limbaugh. Aside from the mutual-yet-differentiating situations with Oxycontin, Ford and Limbaugh share an over-the-top, loudmouth style where the spectacle often outshines the practical. They speak to their bases in an unapologetic, unforgiving tone, usually railing against progressives and liberals in a venomous verbal assault that receives coverage for their entertainment value. Missing from their rants, and this is the crux of the problem, is factual evidence to prop up the conjecture. Simply put, they just sort of say stuff and believe context is flexible.

Now This is Comedy!

A woman on a train walked up to a man across the table. "Excuse me," she said, "but are you Jewish?" "No," replied the man. A few minutes later the woman returned. "Excuse me," she said again, "are you sure you're not Jewish?" "I'm sure," said the man. But the woman was not convinced, and a few minutes later she approached him a third time. "Are you absolutely sure you're not Jewish?" she asked? "All right, all right," the man said. "You win. I'm Jewish." "That's funny," said the woman." You don't look Jewish."
