Here is a video of some General Hospital characters talking about Rob Ford

How can we be sure that Rob Ford has truly seeped into the pop-cultural groundwater? This conversation between General Hospital characters on Wednesday’s episode of the show is a pretty good indicator:

Nikolas Cassadine: There’s two more that we also need to add. Elizabeth has agreed to come and she’s bringing a date.

Britt Westbourne: Hmm… you don’t say. Rob Ford?

Nikolas Cassadine: Uh, someone almost as notorious.

And so if nothing else, Rob Ford’s mayoralty briefly entertained the cleaning ladies and bored retirees of the world. James Franco would be proud.
