Here Are Some Legislative Bodies Where Rob Ford Could Tackle Anyone He Wants

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford tackled City Councilwoman Pam McConnell today during proceedings to strip him of several of the powers and privileges of his office.

Ford later apologized for running over his older, female colleague, saying "I apologize to anyone I accidentally hit when my brother was in an altercation over there," according to the National Post. Mayor Ford thought his brother, Councilmember Doug Ford, had gotten into a fight; he was rushing to help his brother, and McConnell was simply in the way.

Really, it could happen to anyone.

This incident got me thinking. Ford isn't going to be mayor of Toronto much longer. He's going to need a new job.

Ford seems to have a passion for lawmaking, so it would be nice if he could stay in the same line of work. Perhaps he could be a lawmaker in a country where fisticuffs on the floor of parliament are more socially acceptable.

Like South Korea:

Or Ukraine:

Or Russia:

Or Venezuela:

Or Nigeria:

Or Somalia:

Or India:

As of last Wednesday, Ford had a 40% approval rating among Toronto residents, according to an Ipsos poll.
