http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/10/06/doug_ford_booed_for_reference_to_jewish_lawyer_account_dentist.htmlMayoral candidate Doug Ford (open Doug Ford's policard) tried to address Mayor Rob Ford (open Rob Ford's policard)s anti-Semitic slur. He ended up digging a deeper hole.
Doug Ford participated Sunday in a debate sponsored by two Jewish organizations, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, at the Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto in North York. Rob Ford was in attendance.
Longshot candidate Ari Goldkind, who is Jewish, told the crowd that Toronto cannot have a mayor who uses anti-Semitic slurs. Rob Ford was recorded using the word k- -e to describe Jews while apparently intoxicated in March. Doug Ford first attempted to avoid the issue, then listed various Jewish people in his life.
You know something: my doctor, my Jewish doctor, my Jewish dentist, my Jewish lawyer the crowd erupted in loud boos and laughter my Jewish hold it accountant. Weve learned, our family can you please, please let me finish?

Either Doug Ford has been dipping into his brother's crack stash, or it's something else that makes them both batshit crazy.

Doug Ford won't win but, sadly, Rob Ford might win his bid to become a councillor, ugh.
