Rob Ford, sashay away

Well, we all knew it was going to happen eventually, didn’t we?

Yes, earlier today, Rob Ford was found guilty in his conflict-of-interest case and was ousted from his position as mayor of Toronto. I’m just going to stop myself here before I go on a gloating spree about how this is a victory against people who hold up ignorance as a virtue and how it was only a matter of time before Ford would have been ousted because the guy had absolutely no interest in actually being Toronto’s mayor.

Buh-bye, Ford.
