(Ford and CTV reporter story)
Mike Duffy and Rob Ford deserve each other — and, for all we know, they could be hiding out together somewhere in an undisclosed location.

| MIKE DUFFY |
Duffy is
in hot water for the $90,000 cheque he received from, maybe, the prime
minister’s office. Such a spicy situation for a senator.
Ford,
the embattled mayor of Toronto, is under allegations he was with a few chums
having a puff or two on the crack pipe.
Their
situations deserve questioning on many levels. But perhaps the most compelling
is they are both public servants. Their paycheques come from bank accounts
that get deposits from taxpayers: in Duffy’s case federal taxpayers are paying
the freight; in Ford’s case, it’s the taxpayers of Toronto.
Funny
how both men chased reporters when they were seeking election.

They
won. But now they are being accused of wrongdoing and are avoiding reporters at
all costs. Interestingly, Duffy has been on the other side of the camera many
times chasing subjects who don’t want to talk.
That,
clearly, isn’t fair. And the longer they remain in silent, the more questions
will be raised.
We’ve
seen it before. We’ll se it again.
But,
somewhere, somehow, we should all learn from the disgrace others.
This
time Mike Duffy and Rob Ford took the fall. The sooner they stand up and move
forward, they can move on with their lives. And, sadly, ours too.
