Yes exactly. The situation not the phrase itself.

Well, as I started this debate agreeing with you and have since turned around on it by considering the post from PinkLucy I'll just say that while the word itself in that context I wouldn't consider misogynistic, the whole situation - saying what he said about going down on his wife in the early...

This is totally fair and obviously you have a perspective on it I don't. He is obviously deeply misogynistic, as the Sarah Thomson stuff and the ITO stuff show. And so certainly outside a vacuum his remarks today would further that perception. I still think him saying that (this morning, not...

Thanks!

Hey who was it who tweeted that Mammo said he thought the mayor was on something this morning? I need that tweet.

You know I considered this before I posted. I'm not saying he's not a chauvinist. I'm just not sure I'd equate the referring to female genitalia as "pussy" as being chauvinistic as opposed to just vulgar. If he'd CALLED someone a "pussy" or said "let's go get some pussy" thus reducing an...

In regards to the Marcus Gee piece, I agree that this could be the downfall moment. Which saddens me, because as ridiculous as it was for him to say that on live TV, this smacks of all the stuff we always bring up when we talk about the oddly dichotomous and prudish nature of US decency laws -...

Based on this morning I'd say he's down to two hands and a very large tongue. P.S. These are never going to get old.

Maybe it's just the angle of the photo in that Mandel piece but wow, Doug is starting to look almost Roblike in girth...

Yeah the closest Canadian equivalent I can think of at least in recent years was the federal Liberal leadership race that eventually chose Stephane Dion a few years ago. That was mesmerizing and I learned a ton about party procedure through the campaign and right through to that convention...

That deserves an old school booyakasha

Oh just parsing it and annotating would be a months long research project. But it's still awesomely centralized. I'm obviously new around here but I went back through the first hundred pages or so last night and its enthralling (well to a politics nerd like me anyway)

It's also amazingly well sourced. Everyone is so link happy it's incredible. Not only do you get the details of every small instance of the administration, you also get links to news stories, videos, council minutes, anything a really serious bibliography would need.

Depends how deep I go. I'd probably get more of an immediate reaction by staying around the surface. But I believe that intense, prolonged penetration is the only way to really get a satisfying result that will be truly remembered.

In one hundred per cent honesty if I ever write a book about the Ford years I will be using this thread as my number one memory jogger for every tiny bit of minutiae regarding what went on. There is not a press conference, not a newspaper blurb, not a gaffe, not a boring council meeting with...

Seriously one day this entire thread belongs in a museum, it's an amazingly thorough historical record of the Ford mayoral administration from just before it started until (presumably) it ends.

I missed Jon Stewart Monday and Tuesday. Should I go back and watch (other than for the obvious reason that he's great no matter what)? Has he done any Ford stuff this week?

Yeah a few times through the second half. Nothing really specific, just as someone Lisi contacted a few times. EDIT: Lisi also met with him once briefly.

No, the assertion is that if you're still supporting Ford after all of this, you're a moron. And it's a pretty healthy assertion.

Hah well if you want to insult the Jews (myself) or the Swedes (my wife) I'll give you a pass just this once. Call it the Rob Ford Election Exception :)
