Toronto's Ford brothers get a new TV show on, yes, Sun 'News' Network

(They don't call it "Fox News North" for nothing.)

... Meanwhile, word came Thursday that Mr. Ford and his brother Councillor Doug Ford will be on air again with a new television show debuting next week.

According to a Sun News Network article, the show will be called Ford Nation and will air each Monday at 8 p.m. EST. The broadcaster says more show details will be revealed in the next few days. The program is expected to pick up where the Fords’ Newstalk1010 radio show left off when cancelled last week.

Actor Charlie Sheen reached out to Mr. Ford Thursday following false reports that he had called on him to resign. “If I can be of any assistance in any capacity in this media cesspool, please accept the noble offer of my steady hand and compassionate heart,” he said via Twitter.

Indeed, it's the top story at the Sun News website right now.

Every TV station wants Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.

But it's Sun News Network that has landed the hottest man on the airwaves. If you have loved or even hated the Ford Show so far, stayed tuned because there's more to come.

The Rob and Doug Ford Show is coming to Sun News Network.

... Rob is like Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh," said Councillor Ford. "You just never know what he is going to say."

Remember brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie? Can you see them discussing crack and prostitutes?

There's a high probability they'll strangle themselves with the cord. Douchebags like that...the better people get to know them, the less they like them.
