Robyn Doolittle, one of just three journalists to have seen the Rob Ford crack video, has stayed tight-lipped about the nature of the “shocking new revelations” in her upcoming book about the mayor. Today, however, the Toronto Star reporter did offer a nugget to the Ford-obsessed masses: a link to this cover image, along with another tantalizing tease about the juicy details she’s unearthed. Doolittle’s publisher, Penguin Canada, is clearly racing to capitalize on the hype generated by this week’s string of increasingly crazy revelations—the 304-page tome is due out on February 4, a full month ahead of schedule.

not a fan of the title. Stigmatizes mental illness. Please change, Ms. Doolittle/Penguin Canada.
The title is not cool. It would be great if it could be changed.
I’m interested to read the book though.
I would read the book only to support the hottest news journalist on the planet. Robyn is a super-babe.
freedom of the press means someone can follow you around and take pictures and talk to old ryerson and highschool friends and put together a web site and press release on the day the book is launched. it is a digital world after all
The way I interpret the title, it states the the town of Toronto is crazy and is not a comment on mental illness in an individual. The city of TO has to look at the “madness” within our community.
the word “crazy” itself stigmatizes mental illness. FACT
Well, no. The term most often is used to indicate wild enthusiasm,
as in, “The fans went crazy, when the winning goal was scored in overtime!”
There is ordinarily no implication of mental instability in the use of “crazy”. You are mistaken about that.
The true craziness that I see in Toronto comes from have- nots who use their support of a deeply flawed populist politician to express their resentment of the elites, who have achieved a station in life to which they realise can never aspire.
At this point Ford is a train wreck of a man, who appears to be eating and drinking himself into an early grave.
Doolittle’s book will provide a useful account of how he got onto his path of self-destruction.
Those who continue to support his political career are a combination of terminally tax averse right-wingers and a gaggle of have-nots who resent the fact that they have achieved so little success in life.
