Rob Ford's Toronto

[GeekGirl]

Nobody's got time for that! MINO has a tumor! Lisi? Tumor! Anthony Smith, what is the connecti- Tumor! Allegations of continuing DUI, TUMOR! Conflict of intere- Gimme a T! Gimme a U! Gimme a, ah let's just go straight to it. Tumor!

Haha, yes. This is exactly how it will all play out. My take is Ford knew about this tumour awhile back (see also Toe Incident) and this is a ploy for sympathy votes. I have no doubt he has a tumour, but I also have no doubt Ford will use this as much as possible to his advantage. No one is going to go after Ford now, not even the Star. Ford wins. We lose and no, I have no empathy for him. Zero. Nada. None.

I think we have (and are) all been (being) played... AGAIN.

A responsible candidate with unknown health issues going forward would drop out knowing they might not be able to fulfill their term.

You think they really bribed a whole hospital to do this?

Not a whole hospital no - but a referral for further treatment coming from the CEO (Leading Doctor) of a major care centre will not be dismissed.
We will find out at 2pm tomorrow what the new strategy is won't we...?

You would only need to "influence" the proper person in the proper position.

Where's David Blaine when you really want to make things disappear?

Sure does make the whole city look stupid. I guess we get what we deserve...

Indeed. I wouldn't put it past them either.

You mean like Jack Layton? Politics makes people do strange things.

Wonder if they'll keep Rob as an inpatient for the week while they await results. If so, anticipate stories of how well he's doing, how it's just like football camp, how he's met hatpins of industry and athletes and how they are all having a roaring good time. Several weeks later, we'll find out he's abused the staff and been a phenomenal pain to fellow patients & their families. Around Christmas time, the skeleton of Joe Warmington will be found in the Mt Sinai boiler room where he got lost while on a quest for the unbridled truth.

He really should focus on his health and sobriety and come back in four years.

Oh for crying out loud. These are world renowned experts who are not going to risk their licenses to practice medicine for a bribe from the Fords.

JimmiT:

Yes to the focusing on health and sobriety. No to coming back in four years.

re: influence

At this point, I think he ain't got a hope of manipulating the specialists directly.

Jack actually truthfully broadcast what was going on. He didn't hide it.

 

[Lamport Davenport]

Now that health is involved, this is going tabloid. Politics are draining out fast.
Worms won't have the grey area in between news and goss to himself.

Could OJ be enlisted to find the "real killer" of Anthony Smith?
Apparently he has some experience in this area.
