Not so long ago (although dinosaurs did walk Yonge St then), Toronto's chief magistrate was associated with the PC party and was often called "the Tiny, Perfect Mayor". His name was David Crombie. (Some people may urinate in the park named after him, but I digress....)
Today we have a Large, Imperfect Mayor also associated with the PC party. (He may urinate in the park named after his father -- as well as many others.) His name is Rob Ford.
Heh! I'm totally old enough to get the joke. I'm impressed by the riff on the word "tiny". Back in the day, Tiny Perfect Mayor was a big newspaper and TV news story, over and over.
Physically, Crombie was not a big guy.
But metaphorically, Rob Ford, as a politician, is rapidly shrinking out of sight, no matter what's happening to his pant size, no? As scandal fodder, sadly, he'll be with us far into the future, I think.
