Get videotaped smoking crack? Check. Make a sexually explicit remark about your wife while denying you made a sexually explicit remark to a coworker? Check.

But knock over a City Council member while attempting to bum-rush a fellow government official? As of Monday, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford can check that box on his resume as well.

During a City Council meeting over a proposal to pare down his mayoral powers, Ford became enraged with a speaker and attempted to rush him. In the process, however, he ran into council member Pam McConnell, sending her tumbling to the floor.

You stay classy, Toronto.
