Rob Ford Discussion Thread

Approval is steady at 42%: http://htl.li/r5npx

the crosstabs are very, very interesting.

What gets me... there are 42% who approve of the job Rob Ford is doing as mayor, but only 34% are opposed to his powers/staff/budget being stripped. Who are those other 8%? The ones going "yeah, I think Rob Ford is doing a great job as mayor, but I'm glad the council is stopping him from continuing to do that great job that I think he's doing..."

I approve of the entertainment value he provides and I think that that's what the mayor's job is or at least should be all about."

Toronto isn't the only city that elects mayors who use or have used cocaine. Geelong went to a by-election and the results were announced yesterday, with a former paparazzi photographer being elected with 30% of the primary vote (twice the second-placed candidate). His cocaine use had previously been documented in his autobiography.

Another story about his election, including other colourful comments and previous activities.

Le Monde (best newspaper ever) calls Ford a "wrecking ball". More confirmation that Miley Cyrus, greatest thinker of our generation, wrote the song Wrecking Ball with Rob Ford in mind and that we are all just realizing her genius now.

Shame on him for supporting the NFL (anyone remember that hideous tie he wore a few weeks ago?). Just another reason to hate him.

More documents drop.

Anyone else catch his interview with Black on Zoomar? Very amusing, it could be one of Ford's campaign ads given how softball it was.

Ford all but called the Star photographer who took pictures of his property a pedophile, which Black didn't challenge. Apparently the Star's lawyers are now involved.
