Wow, Mayor Ford is in the big leagues now!
What a thrill it must have been for Ford to welcome the billionaire carpet-bagger to his office this week. From right-wing windbag on city council to hosting the greatest financier of right-wing windbags in the world in barely over a year!
Sheldon Adelson was sniffing out the possibilities for a casino on Toronto's waterfront. For Adelson it's never just a business opportunity of course. Business is business, politics are politics, and Adelson is always on the look-out for ambitious power-hunger pols who understand the business of politics.
Already Adelson and five of his flunkies have registered as lobbyists with the City of Toronto, so expect the new casino to be an Adelson venture.
And expect great things from Rob Ford. He's joining such luminaries as Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and Benyamin Netanyahu in Sheldon's stable of bought-and-paid-for politicians.
You're in great company now, Mr. Ford!
