Rob Ford, party animal

Wow.

Wow.
When its time to party we will party hard.
Partying like its 2010 and he was just elected.
Toronto has not had a Mayor since then.
Don’t know if he’s drunk or not. He looks like that naturally.
Don’t lower yourself to their level WK. The guy is having a good time. He’s human.
If the adage that begins: ‘To err is human, to forgive is divine..’ is true, then he is not human, he is SUPERHUMAN. I must confess though, I am far from divine.
Looks like he was smokin some of that BC bud that he, of course, never touched.
He’s loaded, he will survive. Loaded in the financial sense as well as the spiritual sense. And that’s not Holy Ghost spirits either.
….agreeing with “west in the East” on that.
Yea, Ottawa had a mayor like that, things worked out really well for him when he decided to run for a second term, too.

it’s not a Kyle Rae, David Miller, Adrian Heaps taxpayer funded pissup !
How do you know?
Well, regardless of whether one is human or not, when one has already been told that ones behaviour has disqualified him from public office, then one should be a little more “discreet” when in the public eye.
(how many times can one use the term one…..in a single sentence?)
lol, in this case maybe one-and-a-half, or even two would be more suitable. I shouldn’t scoff at peoples waistlines though. I am slim, but can empathise. Aside from the KFC, maybe he cannot help his weight.
Careful bluegreenblogger…..
If Rob Ford were slim, there would be some posters arguing that Rob Ford “Lacks substance”
No. There wouldn’t be.
Have to disagree. I’m as happy as anyone else that he’s been dumped for abusing his power. But come on, he has not been disqualified for being a party animal and nor should he be. Seems to me that Canada has done OK with party animal leaders.
I actually feel sorry for the guy. Again, he reminds me of a tragic character in a comedy. When I look at that pic, I think his wife must be happy, cause that ain’t his wife and he is out of the house.
I’ve met him a few times, and he seemed to be a ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of a guy. My guess, not knowing how he conducts himself in private is that he and his brother Doug run the City as if they were Kings demanding complete obedience from their court and subjects.
I remember two years ago or so, asking Warren how you impeach a Mayor. I think I got my answer.
Anyway he will be gone from politics soon enough and I don’t like kicking a guy when he is terminal and he is sort of a human being. After all, it is Christmas.
I hear about this sort of thing all the time. I suspect most stories are apocryphal. But even if most are…
I will condemn Ford only mildly for this. I love to have a good time. But I’m just a guy. Not a mayor, company president, organizational leader, representational public figure etc. Watch those people at an event. The good ones know how to comport themselves public-wise, to coin a phrase.
Just another in a long list of examples of how irredeemably stupid he is.
I also love a good time. I also am not a mayor who was just given his biggest beatdown yet. A part of me suspects he was smart enough to recognize early on that this gig is a hell of a lot harder than he expected, and a lot harder than being the Angry Watchdog Councillor, so he has – deliberately or otherwise – set out on a course of political self-destruction. How else to explain why he is able to turn trifling matters into disasters, and disasters into calamities? Nobody can be that stupid or that unlucky all the time, can they?
You will condemn him? Wow, I’m sure he’s devastated that it is you that will condemn him for being out and having a good time. Rob Ford may be one of the biggest idiots for what he does as a mayor, but after seeing a picture of the fool with a smile on his face, and saying you’ll condemn him, says something about the character you are.
Hey…the guy’s having some fun…so what?
Let’s not get carried away here…
Lucifer he is not…just an complete miscast as Mayor of Toronto
When you’re being paid as much as he’s being/been paid by the City of Toronto, and you’ve insisted on being up front and centre in public life; you don’t get to be a drunk in public.
I just wonder how much people felt sorry for Prince Harry when he ran afoul of a camera; sorta not clothed and high?
This isn’t Rob Ford… its that architect Art Vandelay…
Rob Ford wasn’t getting drunk – he was getting CRUNK! crunkford.tumblr.com
I can so see this guy dressed up as Henry the 8th but then again he s doing this for the kids right
See? He does like downtown!
the guy in the background, smiling, with the green drink. Isn’t that personal injury lawyer Jeremy Diamond… of Diamond and Diamond…the guys who advertise everywhere?
Even with all sorts of beautiful people around, he still can’t look anyone straight in the eye.
Good Point.
I’ve always wondered why a so called straight shooter never seems to look people in the eyes.
i have met him and confirm this. you will ask him a simple question and he will mumble what one can only assume is an answer towards the ground.
the reason for this is very simple – if he looked at you directly in the eyes, his steely blue eyed gaze could very easily drive a normal person mad.
he is that amazing.
Nice photo bomb by Jeremy Diamond
Good call – that was my favourite part too!
Speaking of eyes, he looks as if he has yellow eye shadow on.
Dan F,
If incompetenece disqualified people from holding a job…….we’d lose the entire Toronto District School Board, as well as most of the Municipal council.
