Rob Ford's Toronto

[sublime]

Marcus Gee referenced Huey Long in relation to Doug Ford's flailing in Saturday's column. Personally, it seemed a bit much.

Hey, everyone! I'd like t share a feeling. Marcus Gee is insufferable (as is Ivor Tossell, for different reasons).

I went to the final Jays game of the season.

Question: Is the second round of chemo worse than the first?

I like Tossell. Gee I could do without.

The side effects are somewhat cumulative and get worse every treatment

I saw the Rob Ford musical.

Now, do I really think he boinked his sister? No - the ick factor is too much even for my aluminum. But do I think there is something else at play here? You betcha.

They're the Canadian Kennedys, not the Canadian Borgias.

On RoFo's statement at the fester: it's quite possible that when he said he wanted to thank his kids, the thought ended there; the next two names could have been referring to two other people named Douglas and Michael. IOW, "I'd like to thank my wife, Renata, my kids (whatever their names are, doesn't matter, they hate me), Douglas (could be DougAssholeMouth or some other Douglas) and Michael (Mutey, or any camping worker named Michael).

On criminal defence lawyers: I used to think they were scum but then some of my best friends are CDL's. In fact, their job is to hold the police's and prosecutor's feet to the fire to ensure that they are doing their jobs correctly and assembling unassailable proof that the accused did in fact commit the crime. These lawyers are not (most of them) trying to get guilty parties off the hook; they are there to ensure that the justice system works justly.

Sat outside soaking up the beautiful autumn sun. That is all.

So say you, I would not be surprised by any actions the Fords undertake, even if some of those are thought of as taboo by society at large.

Anyway, in your opinion, just what are the differences between the Kennedys and the Borgias?

yeah i thought that as well, that there might be a comma in there somewhere. Maybe being tired and woozy, his eye skipped a line on the teleprompter (if he was reading from one).

at my family gatherings with all the aunts/uncles and their spawn present, an adult relative has called a kid by the wrong name on more than one occasion (and not just the seniors )

well, the thread has concluded that Mikey is the child of incest. So yeah, just another boring weekend on UT.

If Robbie flubbed an address to his followers (and they were there for him, not Doug) then I agree, it's not uncommon. That no one informed him is the speculative part, and that's the rub, the Fords have created the atmosphere of mistrust and disbelief so people don't entertain "the benefit of the doubt" process.

(mini rant)

Robbie and Doug think they are smarter, even with the over sight of Diane, but they do not have the finesse to use their tools. This whole mess is a clumsy game, and I call shame on the whole cancer "event" which the root of Robbie obtaining the instant gratification he craves, even if it's though Dougie's camping. Robbie quit camping for mayor because he realised his winning in 2010 was a fluke, but he needed something to use as an excuse to escape his mistake. I'm not going to debate if the crap going on right now is a scam or not, that would be silly on my part; however, to opportunists like the Ford Family Compact it's something to be used to their advantage.

honestly, I don't mind some tinfoil now and then. I don't even mind the gruesome speculation about incest (other than the imagery that has now ruined the rest of my days on earth), but let the speculation be based on something of some substance -- something more than just his tired rambling while naming family members. Who was that Oscar winner some years back, who thanked two dozen cast & crew and friends by name, but forgot to thank their own spouse? shit like that happens.

Maybe we've gotten lazy and would rather jump on wild theories than go try to dig up some new info, or maybe just too frustrated by the fact that it seems nothing will come out of PB2. This "Jude" thing that's coming (about Doug, i believe?) doesn't sound like 'red meat' to me. Sounds like some financial misdeed/fraud/COI -- type of thing that will anger people on this thread and some others. But again, no charges, and so Fordites will just shrug it off as more "bullying" of the poor FoFam. Anyway we know Doug's not winning anything, and if nothing new comes out about Rob, he'll probably win his Ward 2 seat. And that sucks.
