I think very little of Ford's appeal to his base is because of what he does. It's because of what he is.
read my previous post.

So Ford's opening two more parks tomorrow...this could be your last best chance to shout down the drunken crack smoking global embarrassment for being a park funding hypocrite (among other things), since starting Aug. 1 council members are not allowed to attach their names to any city-funded projects.
1. Brookdale Park’s playground near Avenue Rd. and Woburn Ave - 4-5:30
(don't know if Ford voted against this one...anyone?) ETA: found it: http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2011.NY8.36
2. Rotary Peace Park at 25 Eleventh St. in New Toronto - 6-7:30

(in case you're wondering, Ford did not vote against this park as he did against the Reading Sprouts Garden that opened last week)

I'm hoping to make it to the Rotary Peace Park to have my say
By Grabthar's hammer...
thanks for this... it's great! (much better than the original.) plus it has dangle and junior, which even for a quick 'cameo' appearance, is awesome... thanks!
A little night music (yeah, I know, off topic - the thread is about Rob Ford), but it's late.

Ya, I can see Robbie sitting a booth with a bottle sitting and a splift in his hand.
There's another rumour of Deco involvement with Mexican cartels, and legal action in 18 states.
Are things that slow?
That's all very nice, but calling Ford supporters uninformed is actually giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's really the nicest thing you could say about them. How are other politicians supposed to match Ford's unique appeal to the disenfranchised? Not use such big words? Act like idiots? Associate with criminals? Pander for votes by offering to come over and vacuum your drapes personally?
Ford has this thing where he craves affirmation, so if you act like you like him, he'll be nice to you. In no way should that be mistaken for his actually being a good person. If people are actually willing to fall for that, what can you do? Competing on that level just means that politics will literally become a personal popularity contest, and that ain't good for anybody.
It's important that people who run for office stick to a higher standard than Rob-fricking-Ford when trying to get votes, even if it means they lose.
