Ford follies, a continuing series
When he is gone, we will miss him.
The rest of Canada, that is.
I have to say, even for the finest of us Toronto-haters, the amusement factor pretty much vanished as this woman became the target of a machine.
Though I don’t consider myself a “Toronto-hater”, I have to admit that I’m still enjoying the Rob Ford circus/train wreck. Too many years spent under Ralph Klein’s foolishness, I suppose. I can’t help but take pleasure from Toronto’s pain. I always thought Ralph was the pinnacle of embarrasing politicians, but I’ve now come to believe that Rob Ford could eat Ralph for breakfast. In fact, looking at the man, I begin to think he might have.
Has anyone seen Ralph lately?
http://www.cbc.ca/whitecoat/blog/2011/04/08/former-alberta-premier-ralph-klein-diagnosed-with-dementia/
Mr. Kline has dementia. It was in the news months ago.
Ralph got rid of the debt which took about twelve years. It has taken Ed Stelmach & Redford only six years to put Alberta back in the hole. So who’s the fool, Ralph or Eddy, Alison and you?
A picture is worth more than a 1000 words.
WTF is on his shirt? Sweat or a spilled drink?
Based upon the note below the photo, I think it’s actually drool….
Jesus H Christ….nice way to start my day! Need to scrub my eyeballs.
Sorry, social media is not the way to deal with this, you go through the proper channels. This is typical Thompson publicity seeking and if you read up on her political aspirations, it is full of lies as well.
OK, maybe publicity seeking. For sure, probably a little bit at least.
But so what? What are “proper channels”?
He was an ass, and we all know he is like that, and he’s done it before.
I think it is a great and perfectly pitched response. Litigation or charges would have been overkill. City Hall has not jurisdiction to hear complaints. A citizen being bullied by a rich and powerful man shouldn’t have to just ignore it.
So shaming him a little for his own actions seems to me just about right.
Who exactly staffs the official desk of Inappropriate Come-Ons? If he did something so stupid in public, let him get slapped down in public. Besides, we have seen how well going through official channels works with this guy so far in his debacle of a term …
I didn’t think Sarah was Ford’s type.
Sure Simon, because it is so utterly unbelievable. Why Ford would never get sloppy drunk in public! The man has a stellar reputation of..oh..wait….booze, drugs and public drunken rages and domestic abuse. But yes, this is another plot by socialist commie bike riding downtowners. I can see how you would believe him ,what with his track record for lying, denials and bullying an all.
Funny thing, is if you read the Star article, RF’s wife was on the vacation in Florida.
That’s pretty irrelevant. The fact that Rob Ford was in Florida last week adds credibility to Sarah’s story. How would she have known unless he said it? The fact Rob Ford lied about whether his wife was there or not doesn’t really mean anything. He was out of it last night.
Listen to some of the updates about this story, its not as black and white as its being made out to be. ST drinking scotch, no complaint to the mayor’s office and an allegation of wanting to do a “set up”.
The Star had an article about RF in Florida and so did her magazine’s website.
What does Sarah drinking scotch have to do with it? Are you saying she was asking for it?
Ahh, yes scotch. What seemingly innocent girl would allow herself to be taken in by the corrupting effects of booze and, I hear it whispered, jazz music.

It doesn’t matter if Sarah Thomson wants to run for mayor or some other political office. She is the possible victim.
As for Sarah Thomson going to Facebook and Twitter instead of the police, John Tory mentioned on CFRB radio that those involved in the political arena do not seek charges or sue for every incident that may occur. If she went to the police and sought charges, Rob Ford would be able to delay responding to the accusations by stating that it is before the courts. With Ms. Thomson going to Facebook, Twitter, Global Television, and other media outlets, she gets some control over the messaging. Rob Ford has to respond to her accusations very quickly.
Such a class act our mayor ;p.
Nothing surprising about any of this though given his past as mentioned by Deanna
It’s bloody embarrassing being represented by a buffoon like this twatwaffle
I’m counting the days until the next election
a walking,bloated gong show…that photo pretty much sums up his whole term…
I’m glad you printed this…if that’s a woman’s response to that line, I’m not going to use it any more.
It’s just so tiring and a waste of energy. No wonder the family wanted him as far as possible from the family business.
You know what’s perfect? A city as self-conscious and wannabe as Toronto having spoiled shit-for-brains man-child brat Rob Ford as mayor.
It’s unfortunate that Brian Burke got fired because that made things double plus good.
It would appear the mayor’s extraneous third nipple is weeping fluid again.
Ewww…..
It’s going to take a while to erase that image from my mind…..
I said it before, and I will drone on again: The best thing to happen to us all was to have this nitwit survive that flurry of legal challenges. Had he been bounced, the city would have been subjected to his weekly Sunday afternoon sermons about how “the leftist/commie/pinko/liberal/union/bike riders” brought him down, just for trying to to his best for the gosh-darned taxpayer. One thing this guy does well is play the martyr; he would have serenaded the city with his siren song of victimhood until the next election. And, the modern voter, being what he/she is, would have forgotten all about the massive inventory of cock-ups and self-imposed embarrassments he was guilty of during his brief time as mayor.
But now he is free and unfettered, able to continue fucking up at the hectic pace we know he is capable of. Every time he descends from his Escalade, disaster is sure to follow debacle and calamity. By the time the next election rolls around, he will have compiled such a breathtaking list of imbecilities that only his staunchest supporters – who will support him through thick and thicker, no matter what – will stay loyal.
Go, Rob, go … keep on keepin’ on …
Pressing charges? So last century. The picture say it all! Guilty chanted the crowd! Who cares about justice when it fits the narrative…
Just remember when you read RoboFord’s statement – read with a straight face by his chief fartcatcher, that in every other “Incident” the first response has been a lie – many times.
Honestly not a member of Ford Nation, but this whole thing makes about 0 sense.
Kinda love the fact that the region that pretends to know what’s best for Ontario/Canada elected a bunch of weirdos, though.
Keep on truckin’ Big Guy. You can only go to the well so many times. An’ I’ll bet dollars to donuts, that’s Dougie’s arm around Robbie Boo Boo’s shoulder. Never let him out of your sight Dougie. He’s your gravy train.
Over 1100 comments on her face book page after she posted this .About 75 % are against her.Strange how that worked out.
Not Really. No matter how tempting, people shouldn’t jump onto one side of stories like this without a cooling-off period (right, Warren?). There are perfectly fair questions being asked about some things that don’t add up all that well.
No matter what happens with this case, in the next election the boring candidate wins.
