“Just money, women love money. And you get perfume and dresses, you know. You give them a couple thousand bucks and they’re happy…and get some treats on the side, obviously, but she says, ‘I want cash, honey, I want cash.’"
—Rob Ford, telling the hosts of The Sports Junkies, a Washington D.C. radio talk show, all about his Christmas gift-giving philosophy—at least as it applies to his wife, Renata Ford, who will apparently be getting a wad of bills in her stocking this year, à la Sally Brown. Handing out cash in lieu of normal gifts is clearly something of a Ford-family tradition, but, then again, so is apologizing for insensitive actions and comments. This might be a twofer.
