Rob Ford's Toronto

[thereverend]

This is the first time I've heard that.

It's amazing what you can learn reading 64771 posts on a subject!

Don't buy it - the underage story is too Hollywood and Rob is bit more, shall we say, unconventional.

Given who I've heard it from, I do buy it.

Definitely not a new rumour, but the John Tory searching for the girl thing is new. Maybe this election is about to get dirtier than any of us ever imagined.

"Dirtier" as in "cleaned up", I'd say

I was just wondering if this is the phase of the Rob Ford news cycle when we all go back to attacking each other.

You stupid git. Happy now?

Ya I learned my lesson.

Noted.

Doug's attack on the Griffin Centre certainly isn't going to help grow Ford's voting base around the city, but it might help protect the "family" seat in Ward 2. Even with the city-wide backlash over the weekend, it seems some local residents felt their fears about autistic youth living among them were justified, and that Doug was representing their concerns (once again illustrating the moral bankruptcy of the Ford Nation voting bloc) I wonder if the Fords are growing worried that the scandals might hurt them in their traditional political stronghold.

Yeah. It's pretty Hollywood. The third-hand connection to the Tory campaign doesn't give the story anymore credence, either. Everyone has heard some version of it already. It's just the gossip mill churning away, as it does.

How would John Tory go about tracking down a 14 year old prostitute from a video?

Also, if media has it, why would it not already be released?

The media has tons of stuff that hasn't been released yet for legal reasons. They've obviously got to be pretty careful. I remember thinking when I watched that 5th estate episode about Ford what a disappointment it was because it was so painfully obvious there was a lot more there that they felt, for whatever reason, they had told hold back.

Are you seriously asking why a video showing a 14 year old giving head hasn't been released?

He'd start by looking under his transit funding... but he hasn't found that, either.

Sorry, I should have asked about the story being released, not the video.

If the video exists, it explains the shocking charge so heinous that that MM wouldn't name it.

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week.
