Re: Rob Ford Again
I'd question why his wife was at that press conference instead of heading for the hills. Could it be his bullying nature?
Apparently her father was quick to defend her honour, saying that of course she's not a sex worker and there may possibly have been a legitimate reason for her to have been in the mayor's office in the late evening hours.
You think Wayne Gretzky likes seeing all those pics of his daughter splashed out there on Twitter and the internet?
I do feel for Mrs Ford, considering I don't even know what she looks like (honest truth)...not that it matters, just saying

I could have done better. Alan Sugar was a toss-up but Bush probably doesn't talk like that, on reflection.

Re: Rob Ford Again
Anything over 50% is stellar
Not a nice thing to say about Alan Sugar

Re: Rob Ford Again
I can see it with Ford saying or screaming at her 'look what you've got me into now' - I want you up front row & centre, cos I'm not taking this crap by myself.
The real story of Ford & his family will never be known. Will the chief nail Ford good & proper (I doubt it) & do we the people really give a shite if he stays in office?
Other than the media frenzy, the best backlash could be if council sat like dummies becoming totally inactive, not presenting any issues for debate or motion or tabling whatever. Let Ford sit daft & stupid. If and or when Ford wants to excite council they simply ignore everything ford does or has to say. He needs a quorum or someone to disagree with him. If he doesn't have that he has nothing.
Let the day to day city business run, manage the money & the police service ignore Ford & life in TO will be honky dory

I take the other view that she is the driving force, pushing & nagging him - maybe that is why he is a crackhead?

I don't think the full Ford vs Police story is anything close to over. We've barely raised the curtain on the second act.
The wonderful irony in all this is that the city council has probably never worked together as effectively as they have in the last three days. A couple of clarifying questions, one or two points of order, and the motions and bills have been passed more or less nem con. If they can carry anything like the same degree of unity into council business for the next 12 months, perhaps the Ford administration will prove to have been more effective without a functioning mayor than it could ever have hoped to be with one.

Re: Rob Ford Again
I quite liked the way every councillor turned their backs on him whenever he got up to speak yesterday afternoon. Didn't do the same this morning, but they've effectively neutered him today so it doesn't really matter any more what he says.

Re: Rob Ford Again
I thought that was stupid and childish and they came across as petty and uncompassionate. He's a tragic figure of fun who is obviously going through a pretty tough time and his job is not exactly of earth shattering importance. TBH its with that bunch its no wonder Torontonians voted for Ford.
