Rob Ford's Toronto

[pud99]

There is now a Tim Hudak spoof account - it started about a week ago. It shows very much the same m.o. as the Doug Ford spoof account(s) - mainly devoted to making statements that cast him as an evil idiot. (Of course, it might well be the same person or persons behind both.)

Wonder if there's a big media scoop somwhere being saved up for the Crackiversary...

You'd think! But with the way some of the media outlets are tip toeing around the whole rehab thing, who knows.

Metro Man is the creation of his audience as much as of himself. People are/were clamouring for information. He had friends/sources who had a little more access to inside gossip, right or wrong, so he shared. Sure, his head swelled alongside his audience, but there were no shortage of "MM, help us" posts, either. Once that happened, it was pretty clear that he'd one day fall from grace. So it goes...

I agree completely. He'd become the go to guy for info and that came with the pressure of needing new info to feed the curious who called on him.

Frankly, it sent a cringe through me when I'd see someone asking for new info. The same happens now when I see people asking the same of Jimmy. Here's hoping he's better at keeping humble.

F that. I've already come up with a name for my followers. Jimmi's T-baggers!

The G&M corruption story is only the beginning. Quiet media are busy media.

Hasn't checked out as of a couple of hours ago. He's determined to win re -election!

Thanks, Jimmi!

He doesn't call or even send a post-card anymore.

Umm, that might not be a hit with the female demographic

I laughed....

But Jimmi, if you don't tell us everything...the same thing happens that I told your high school friend....
