Canadian mayor walks into TV camera
  • Rob Ford, the Mayor of Toronto, is left nursing an injured face after a painful collision with a TV cameraman while leaving a committee meeting.
The Mayor of Toronto had an embarrassing collision with a TV cameraman as he ran the gauntlet of waiting reporters following a committe meeting in Toronto City Hall.

As Rob Ford batted away questions from journalists, he walked straight into the lens of a television camera, eliciting an expletive-laden response from the injured mayor.

A spokesman said Mr Ford was suffering from a "slight headache" after the incident, but had attended meetings.

I must confess that I feel no small amount of Schadenfreude when I witness the embarassment of a mayor that the people of the Toronto suburbs have imposed upon Canada's largest city.

His administration has been been nothing short of Amateur Hour at Nathan Phillips Square (And for a city that produced Mel Lastman, that's a pretty high bar to surpass!)

ha ha I have some sympathy for his awkwardness. "God" knows I can identify. I have zero sympathy for his cretinism.
