By now you may have heard about Toronto's crazy, allegedly crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford. The man's many pratfalls were the stuff of legend and local embarrassment, but are now finding international ridicule. And while Stewart highlights a few awkward moments, there are really so many cringe-inducing moments in Ford's less than stellar career it's actually hard to pick only a couple and leave out so many more.

By now you may have heard about Toronto's crazy, allegedly crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford. The man's many pratfalls were the stuff of legend and local embarrassment, but are now finding international ridicule. And while Stewart highlights a few awkward moments, there are really so many cringe-inducing moments in Ford's less than stellar career it's actually hard to pick only a couple and leave out so many more. Slate has some here.

This is a few minutes of an eight minute segment. Later in the bit, Canadians Jason Jones and Samantha Bee educated Jon Stewart on Canada's true national pastime: smoking crack.

And lest you think Jon Stewart is the only comedian taken with Ford's brand of (unintended) physical comedy, last month Ford was also featured on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
