Rob Ford's Toronto

[Jimmi T]

Ford would have made a pretty good custodian, building super ... or football coach. He had a totally warped idea of what mayoralty entailed.

Ya, I think it had a lot to do with the fact that he loved people's reactions and the praise he'd received when he's show up at their houses.

Ford had massive issues with authority and felt undervalued as a person. Fighting for the "little guy" got him praise and an excuse to yell at "the system", which was a win-win. What he never internalized was as mayor he was supposed to be fixing the system, not fighting it.

Here is his interview with Jim Richards. Mammo is such a piece of shit. Yes, political opponents contributed to Ford's drug addiction. Well, maybe he shouldn't have been a politician then.

As someone who had spent 10 years as councillor and mayor, for him to even think that he isn't part of the system is kind of rich. Then again of course, the thinking part...

Wonder if this had anything to do with Mammo's tantrum:

Council votes 16-15 to not pay a mystery councillor's legal fees beyond the $20K limit set by policy.

Mammo is hitting it hard today. I guess he forgot he turned his back too! Damn, he's stupid.

3rd para, 2nd sentence, 6th word. Someone needs to proofread his press releases. What a drama clown.

He didn't even bother to spell Shelley's name correctly. The whole thing reads like it was written by a 12 year old.

I had no idea that even the mayor of Vaughan felt compelled to comment on Rob Ford earlier this week.

It almost sounds like an April Fool's joke, Mammo pretending to sound like a fire-and-brimstone preacher, and the shitty unfunny joke seems to fit his style, but nah. Just Mammo being Mammo.

Mammo's a year round April Fool's joke.

Wonder if the turnout and traffic (esp. at the Congress Centre) being *not quite* what he was boasting or anticipating is starting to sink in...

I wonder how much they blew on that party.

I think Mikey is going to be the candidate, if rumours of Deco's difficulties are to be believed.

If Deco is having troubles it might be better to have Doug run and Randy bankrupt the company.

Yes we know - a good chunk of Vaughan residents donated to his campaign and received rebates from Toronto taxpayers for it. Think of it as a thank you note for that.

Good idea.

One less person on the Deco payroll.

One more Ford at the trough (AKA "Service before self.")

Oh also, Mammoliti says there were 10K people in Ford's funeral procession & he talked to all of them. Nope, 2x

Yeah, he has to be the mystery councillor who council voted against.
