Rob Ford's Toronto

[Dubster]

I really hoped to wake up to some news this morning. I'm surprised Metroman put his reputation on the line like this. If nothing has happened in a week people will be very suspicious of his future predictions.

Dude, he tweeted at 11 PM last night. Relax guy. Be patient.

@AD_Humphreys @JoanneCangal @goldsbie chatter has gone from a whisper to a constant loud buzz over last 48hrs. Rumors circulating openly.

@AD_Humphreys @JoanneCangal @goldsbie consistently getting April for wrapping up investigative and legal processes — multiple sources.

Maybe MetroMan should stop using the word "imminent" when he means "April sometime". That seems to be what's getting everyone riled up.

I was really hoping for a 'surprise party' at the office this morning

Has parodying Doug disappeared.

Has @CouncillorFord been taken down, or hacked in some manner?

I really don't like how MetroMan keeps talking about "chatter" and "intel" like he's a fucking CIA agent. Call it what it really is: gossip. All respect to the man, but he's been wrong on this literally every time he has said it. He likes playing superhero but even a broken clock is right twice a day. This is getting tedious.

Adrian Humphreys just pointed out that a lot of the increased "chatter" is probably a feedback loop -- MetroMan hears something, mentions it on social media, more people start talking, he whips everybody up into a frenzy with talk about arrest being imminent, *bam*... increased "chatter".

MM is not talking about social media chatter. He is talking about chatter from his TPS/media sources. He receives that information before posting it on Twitter for the masses to circulate.

Huh. Just noticed that it got suspended... It would have been just overnight - I remember tweets from that account last night.

You know what, I really don't think most women imagine having sex with Rob Ford when that comes up. You're just weird.

I presume that those in the escort business have to deal w/the reality of sex w/Ford types on a constant-likelihood basis...

 

[GavinTheAlmighty]

Don't get your hopes up, folks. Assume that he isn't getting arrested because it will only lead to disappointment if he doesn't.

And Rob is on the radio this morning, touting his impeccable (work) record---he often works 28 hours a day.

I wonder if the cops were purposely leaking info, so that the Fords would get nervous, and go and do something stupid?
Lead the cops directly to some storage unit, or a meeting spot with "The Greek".
MM said that it could be a trap.

It's not like anyone is listening anymore. The more this guy lies the more people tune him out.

Yes, right, but even he himself has described it as "locker room" chatter which would surely get fed by social media chatter to some degree, which was Humphreys' point.
