QUOTED: Rob Ford on whether he watches late-night comedy routines about himself

---

“I watch some of it, but what can you do? You just gotta laugh about it. They don’t know the real Rob Ford.”

—Rob Ford, responding to a question about whether he has seen any of the many late-night comedy routines about his crack scandal. The mayor was talking to The Sports Junkies, a Washington D.C. radio show he makes regular call-in appearances on, for some reason. Ford also updated the Junkies on something he mentioned to them a few weeks ago: his belief that women everywhere, especially his wife, love getting cash for Christmas. “I gave her a cheque for five grand, and she was really happy,” he said. How romantic.
