He's horribly weak in a lot of ways, but there's also this weird, weird strength.
I think it is more of a sad, pathetic detachment from reality.

I don’t write columns for approval of other media, Twitter or political operatives. And to Ford’s credit, no matter how much I have badgered him or criticized him, he has never dodged me — even when the news is not good for him.

“I know what I did and I have apologized to the whole city for it,” he said.

There is, however, nothing wrong with those who are outraged by his behaviour not accepting that and heckling him. But there is also nothing wrong with those prepared to cut the guy a break and see if this attempt to straighten out his life is successful. I fall into the latter camp no matter how the press gallery or editorial writers feel about it.
The Shirtless Horde protest is growing steam. This is such a great idea, if I didn't have to work I would be there. I really hope this more vocal and aggressive chastising of Ford continues. I think that it would have backfired in the past, but the anger that most of us here have had for ages seems to be reaching into a greater portion of the non-Frod Nayshun types. It's important that this anger continues building momentum, and I think that regular, ongoing mass public shamings that get right into his face are valuable.

And the organizer is going to be on the Global TV morning show tomorrow promoting it at 7:40am.
Daniel Dale's chat today was pretty funny: [...]
A: Hahaha. I dropped [the phone] because [Rob] held his fist up to my face and demanded I drop it. It was an intentional drop, maybe even a throw.
John Furr is the organizer. I think Rob Frod is also going to be there.
Good ol' John "Let's fight!" Furr.
Should be a doozy.
Something doesn't jive with the Ford quotes in Warmington's article. Listen to every instance of Rob Ford speaking in public and then compare those short, choppy sentences and fragments thereof to the words attributed to him this time round.
Although i should also say that the guy seems to be really mentally unstable, and someone should be watching out for him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. I'd actually be more concerned about Mammo being a suicide risk than Ford.
