Here we have Florida congressman Trey Radel, a conservative politician, buying and possessing cocaine and blaming it on alcohol. That is two criminal acts, an arraignment and perhaps a little jail time.
On the other hand we have conservative Toronto Mayor Rob Ford who was SEEN smoking cocaine, which is not a crime and will result in no criminal proceedings.
There seems to be two big differences between these two conservatives. One tells the brutal truth about most anything at all he is asked, while the other plays the bullcrap game. And of course the 150 pounds or so difference. Being a fat slob matters in politics. I wonder who will come out best?
I must come to the defense of Trey Radel after doing a little Googling. The white supremacy website STORMFRONT calls Trey Radel “a Democrat in Republican clothing” and hates him very VERY much because he likes Rap Music.
Rob Ford Update: Rob Ford and his brother Doug Ford had their new Talk Show canceled yesterday.
