I'm going to eat my words here. I'd been commenting on how nothing good could come of challenging Ford during the meeting today. From the little bit I've caught up on to this point, it appears that there're some positive things happening on the Council floor today. Thank you to those who shared...

I like the way you put this, and this is exactly the sort of questioning I'd like to see. Problem is, a cross-examined witness is under oath, and knows there are consequences to being less-than-truthful (implication, contempt charges, etc.). Until either Ford sees the inside of a courtroom, I...

You may be right, and I hope you are. These are questions needing answers. I've just sat through too many Council meetings under this administration to believe that there will be any answers tomorrow. RoFo is incapable of responding to easy, basic questions, let alone the tough ones that demand...

I agree that a stomping is warranted, but I don't believe that hammering Ford with questions will be that stomping. The motions may be, but only if some leaders can step up on the Council floor and direct the debate in productive ways. Shouting questions at a donkey because it's clueless...

As much as I might agree with you in general, I do believe there is some serious downside to the "public flogging" that's already making headlines. What is the possible upside? None, that I can see. Some angry Councillors get to shout, express their indignation, and the elector who despise Ford...

Took a shot at a couple more additions here, in bold: … Yes I’ve been following the reports (?). WTF happened with him? is big guy gonna make a statment … or what? I HAVE A FRIEND who knows a lot about password SCRIPTS & things. I’ll give you a shout … :) I gotta ask tho, how much of this do...

Parker - I typed the below prior to your apology; thank you for being a reasonable and awesome person. :) For the sake of not wasting the words, and for the love of hearing (?) myself speak, I'd ask those of us non-UT-regulars to take a moment to consider the perspective of the person you're...

Yes, this. Good journalism in temerity and tenacity (sort of), but not in basic interviewing/scrum skills. Every one of those media campouts at his office has been a massive embarrassment for journalists in this town.

Corporate insulation? Maybe. Trusts? Not so much. Never underestimate the power of those with money to avoid taxes and liability. A smart lawyer/financial planner combo can do things that would make your head spin and your sense of moral indignation explode.

You have no idea (or perhaps you do) how right you are, for reasons beyond the ones you state. There's been little discussion about this aspect, but it'll be the one driving things behind the scenes of the Ford side in the coming months. Basic question: if Lisi was attempting to extort Somali...

Thank you for posting this. It was the first thing I thought of when I heard about RoFo's response. It shouldn't surprise me that the irony escapes him, but that doesn't make it any less infuriating.

I appreciate this question - was wondering the same thing. Along with how the "Obstruction of Justice" charges that keep getting mentioned fit into the whole scheme.
