Archive for the ‘Mayor Jose Canseco’ Category

Some rather funny stuff from late last night, east coast time, at least, on Twitter, as the Rob Ford crack-smoking scandal– the Rob Ford crack-smoking scandal (sorry, not sure how many times I’m going to get to write that)– was exploding across the internet.

You see, it would seem that Jose Canseco– who you may remember from his 46 home run, 29 stolen base, club record 159 strikeout, .836 OPS season with the Blue Jays in 1998, or, more recently, from his blatherings about becoming the next mayor of this fair city– doesn’t particularly like our current mayor.

He demonstrated this through a number of tweets in the wake of the Gawker piece about the alleged existence of a video of Ford smoking crack (which was also written about in the Toronto Star, who appear to have been working on a bigger piece on it but were scooped by their American competition). Thing is, dislike him as he might, he doesn’t quite bothered to learn the mayor’s name:

goodbye rod @tomayorford

Meh. Couldn’t possibly be worse than the current clown…

Jose Canseco isn’t a Canadian citizen, doesn’t have a residence in Toronto, and while he maybe isn’t quite into Darren-Daulton-talking-to-lizards territory, uh… you get the sense sometimes from his Twitter feed that he might not be bringing a full bag of balls to the home run derby, if you know what I mean. But hey, woeful ignorance and having the sharpness of a bag of wet hair hasn’t stopped anyone from having an interest in Toronto’s mayorship before *COUGH*, and apparently isn’t going to again, as Canseco tweeted last night that it’s his intention to run… which… is… awesome.
