Rob Ford's Toronto

[AlvinofDiaspar]

I didn't feel anything beyond unfulfillment and sadness after watching the video. I'm now thinking about Rob Ford's family, and that makes me feel really down.

And then you think about how said family is still involved in politics on the basis of the family name, and you're like WTF.

Can't help but think that the actual act of smoking the crack was the most damning thing. It was how he ended up in that room, with those people, in that situation.

At least we can finally end this chapter in Toronto.

Dude was wasted. Sounded like Basso was baiting him. Sad, but that was Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto, in all his glory.

What the Rob Ford crack video actually shows (aka what The Star and Gawker got wrong)

Big day for this thread! All the money police spent on this, the spy plane etc only to drop the charges lol.

Told you. The day news broke that Ford was near death, Giroux started frantically calling the most random people looking for anything he could find.

Some people told me why in the world would they be calling me about this?

It's pretty much what I expected to see. Rob was so high he didn't have a clue what he was saying. How sad.

Wow, reading the comments people are actually on Ford's side and are pissed media's showing this. I wonder if the reactions would be the same if he were still alive.

"From day one, Rob felt this was political. Today proved that point," Doug Ford said after Rob Ford crack video released.

I think Rob was too chemed up to feel anything. Smoking crack on the job isn't political - it's messed up and conduct unbecoming. Period.

Doug Ford live on @NEWSTALK1010 right now with @BarbDGtoronto

So predictable. Warmington will probably do a column about it too.

Doug, squeezing out a few more minutes of fame from his dead brother...

"I think of all the great things Rob did. He was the best mayor ever," Doug Ford says. "That's what I remember Rob as."

Doug Ford tells CP24 that his brother "had a disease, admitted it and went to go get help."

Oh, denied it for the longest time and then finally broke - once, stonewalled, pretended everything is normal, broked again and then disappeared, followed by a triumphant return of the king cut short. Revisionist history and all that. Funny how it is still a "disease". What's it? His glass asthma inhaler?

The wiretaps are much more interesting "Rob Ford is a big fucking idiot!".

Here's hoping one of the newspapers gets an interview with Elena.
