Rob Ford's Toronto

[Cooper]

I get the impression Doolittle takes extra care to not say anything to rile up the Ford-ites too much because they terrify her. Rightfully so. I've noticed in every interview (and even in the book) she takes extra care to not look like she's picking on Ford, and gives him the benefit of the doubt at every opportunity. Not saying she's soft-pedalling anything, but it does seem like she's being...cautious.

I'd say Robyn is cautious, but it's about not jumping to conclusions or appearing biased against the Fords. That would be fatal to her ability to tell the story as a journo. Besides, jumping to conclusions is our job, not hers.

Queue up another loss about to be handed to "Mayor McCheese"...

But she tried to make it very clear she hates the scrum. It seems like a circus, and not my idea of a reasonable approach to civic reporting.

I believe RoFo referred to them as, "A bunch of maggots."

How does he keep getting away with threatening people? I can't get my head wrapped this.

Sorry, should have said 'I can't get
my head wrapped around this'. I am, sadly, devolving due to Ford's influence. (Or I'm in a drunken stupor.)

POSTSECRET: When I'm in a drunken stupor, I worry about sounding like I've borrowed the stylin's of Conrad Black.

At last, some more fun.

POSTSECRET: Once did community service in downtown Detroit. Meals on Wheels.

To help her brother out as he keeps losing his in the gap in his teeth...

I think it's really interesting that the Star has taken the position to not shy away from telling this story. Haven't they previously (more-or-less) kept the non-political siblings out of the news? What's changed?

The Fords are just like the rest of us - don't you have an adult sister that steals toothbrushes?

strange, this tweet came up for me through search, but I can't find it on her page... mind you I don't like these "new style" twitter pages that don't let you expand the tweet to see the replies. Maybe I'm doing something wrong

I like the fact that she did 25 hours of community service... but she's not going to say what community or what service.

Also, like her youngest brother, Kathy Ford seems to have quite the penchant for getting many extra chances and then sadly screwing them up.

Great Northern Lodge in Twin Peaks. It's time to get your dots together.
