So, I guess we're never going to see the crack tape.
RIP Rob Ford
The haters got their wish...
Agreed, I personally would have left that off, but I think he was trying to say something nice and that's as far as he could go. I've never been a big fan of the "lost the battle" with cancer terminology.Even the language around the fighter one could do without - it debases the choice by someone not to fight it to its' logical conclusion as one that is somehow "lesser" in worth.
Eulogies tells one more about the individual writing and the society it was written in than the individual himself.

Yes you will. Every media outlet has it ready to publish once Lisi's trial starts.So, I guess we're never going to see the crack tape.

Much as I find the "haters" tag childish - I think reasonable people can disagree with someone without being a 'hater' - I'll go ahead and speak on behalf of myself and probably lots of other 'haters' here.
This very much was not "my wish." My wish would be that Rob Ford have to face justice for some - hell, any - of his many transgressions of law, council policy, decorum, and basic decency. I had no wish that he would die. Honestly, I'd much rather he live to a ripe old age in sincere contrition for what he did wrong, and trying with the time he had left to make it right.
I lost two close relatives to cancer. They never smoked, drank, exercised, and ate healthy.

It is certainly possible to do everything right and still get cancer. However, the causal links between the vices that Rob Ford indulged in and cancer simply cannot be overlooked.
I also choose to believe that being an a$$hole increases your chances of getting cancer.
