Ford finally holds his press conference once the dealer can not be located or reached...things that make you go hmmmm
Gawker Claims Video Exists of Rob Ford Smoking Crack
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
Huge holes and all, it's better than anything he's said or done for a week. He blamed his silence on his lawyer telling him to say nothing, as if his lawyer was qualified to advise the Mayor what to do. I'm sure he's be first to say his client was Rob, not the Mayor of the City of Toronto. And you can bet he approved every word in and not in what little Rob said.
The issue for the past week was: What's the Mayor got to say about this, what is it doing to his job and what is he doing today, whether about this distraction or about the City? If he can't manage this 'crisis', where's the spokesman who can? He's needed, and we've needed that help for a week now, and all we've had is leaderless confusion. Surely the Mayor of our biggest city, the centre of media, advertising, management and spin can find someone to help him do other than hide. But if Rob has shown us anything over his term it's that he does not play well with others.
Those questions still haven't been addressed by the guy in the office, and he's gone again.

An addict is an addict for life, there is not past and present. He answered the question - believe him or not. Now it's up to the Star and whomever's skirt they're hiding behind to provide evidence to back up their story...could get interesting.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! LMFAO! ARE YOU OUTTA YER' NUTBAR HEAD!? KAREN STINTZ!!??? She is the original 'intellectual black hole'! She couldn't fill her own lungs with air without fucking it up! Gimme a frickin' break!?
Not that either of you have denied the hole in Ford's self-defined transit program is still there, and it's the only one Mr. Subways, subways, subways seems likely ever to produce. Like the rest of what this Council has done, it's been done by others, in spite of not because of Ford.
Pay a dealer $200,000 will make him reappear with another copy in 6 months.
I will if I was him.
Be fair. We all knew way back from last Sunday he will be hosting his radio show this Sunday (and speaking his side of the story) and that was way before it was announced the dealer can not be located or reached.
What if $200,000 or more are raised and after the money transferred Gawker shut down and disappear and never to be heard again?
And we still haven't seen the video?

But...Ford appointed her as TTC chair. And she's a Conservative. If your point is valid, Ford is even more of an idiot for giving her the job (or giving any job with responsibility to a Conservative?). And he actually liked her until she contradicted him. Like what happened with his Chief of Staff yesterday. And Gary Webster before that. Remember him? Didn't go along with the Rob Ford playbook, got fired, cost the city $500,000 in severance. That was a lotta gravy for Ford to dish out over a disagreement.
After this week we're all left wondering: Are right wing leaders completely incompetent at choosing their staff, or is the talent pool of conservative staffers so shallow that they always end up with huge disappointments, scandals and unbelievable denials from the leaders who appointed them.
Now Macleans magazine has weighed in with an article that goes something like thishttp://www2.macleans.ca/2013/05/24/...r-about-the-video-and-its-time-for-you-to-go/:
All this media attention at Ford (unless a video is actually produced) will make those in the media look like the bad guys and make Ford the Matyr. Just like in the last election everyone attacked Ford and it backfired on them helping him to win the election.
Ford did nothing more than give a wishy-washy political opportunist the chance to show she was a loyal, competent, and professional manager capable of overseeing the city's transit file. She has independently proven time and time again that she is not capable of doing so. Rob Ford is not to blame because Karen Stintz has consistently shown herself to be a completely incompetent backstabbing beaatch.
Since you brought it up... Are you kidding? Gary Webster was well past his prime and should have been turfed long ago. Andy Byford is a far more capable person to head up the TTC and wasn't hired because he thinks subways are the only way to go.
Now, back to the subject, I'm still waiting to see the video. Someone doesn't have their facts straight. Nobody knows for sure until the video is seen and authenticated. Until then it's all speculation.
If you'd been following the story, it's about Ford allegedly smoking crack, not meth. Go back to the first post and click on the link. You can read all about it.
Actually, Gary Webster was and is very well respected in the Civil Engineering community in Toronto.
