Rob Ford's Toronto

[sno man]

I say 1 to 6. Unlikely he uses 7.

Rob used 7 last night, 3 has left the narrative. Doug called Rob a populist, without irony or malice today... Tomorrow is a brave new day, nothing is off the table.

Maybe they were standing there waiting for a cab themselves and Ford showed up and asked if he could get a ride with them?

Maybe he was getting the taxi for them. You don't actually see him getting into the cab in the video.
oops. didn't see the post above from ddale

I've watched the video again and I really don't get a sense those dudes were with him. They looked like they were just passing through. I hope some of them will post to social media and clarify.

#7 is the underlying message.

very well done! i like the palette you've used, and you've got the posture of the body, and the lowered head exactly right. is that a cup of milk on his desk?

Nice!

I always think of this as most embarrassing perp walk.

For some reason the clip of Bakker blubbering like an idiot is hard to find

Awesome, and my shot expired when he (maybe) got away in a cab last night... I would have really enjoyed looking at that every day!

It's a pyrex measuring cup full of...something.

Re last night....someone said lights were on in the Mayor's office until 10 or 11...do we know if he was coming out of his office or did he wander over from a nearby bar/party?

He showed up for "work" last night around 5:30 at city hall. If he had gone drinking at a local bar, everyone would have taken pics with him. Since nothing has come up on social media, you have to figure he used city hall as his own private bar, again. I didn't watch any tv today but it sounds like Doug didn't know where Rob was last night. Tomorrow at city hall will be the usual scene, he'll either not show up or he'll barrel past/through the media, then Doug will come out later and blame the Star for Rob drinking at City Hall.

half full of hope or dope... that'd be one of the things I'd have pondered every day looking at that...

I think the artist was portraying the mix of cocaine and baking soda before it's cooked. Like the mayor being led away before he is truly cooked.
