Black Dog Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Ford now threatening to sue ex-staffers who talked to cops. I'll believe that when I see it. Quote
Boges Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Well he's successfully changed the narrative from the smoking crack. Sooooo there's that. I feel bad for the staff though. The media went to court to have these transcripts released before any court case. Now they stand to be sued. Edited November 14, 2013 by Boges Quote

Good luck suing someone for reporting those statements. IMO, these threats, the drinking and driving admission and crass comments about oral sex this morning are the last thrashings of a dying beast.

IMO, these threats, the drinking and driving admission and crass comments about oral sex this morning are the last thrashings of a dying beast. I think the first thing Ford needs to do, before rehab, before taking leave, before filing suit...before anything, is start by simply keeping his mouth shut. These media scrums are killing him. The hyenas have brought him down and are now proceeding to feast, every word he utters from this point forward is just another meal. Quote
bleeding heart Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 This is extremely close to stating that he isn't responsible for his own behavior...that all is the fault of the "hyenas" who are unfairly attacking him.

Black Dog Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Where's Shady in this thread? Strange how his interest in Toronto municipal politics dried up as soon as this all started unraveling. Quote
GostHacked Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Ford should be forced out now. Only way. Quote
Boges Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 If, what happened yesterday, was simply Liberals on council piling on, I think Ford could continue. But now almost every ally he has, has turned their back on him. At this point, he's a mayor for comedic purposes only. He'd done more damage to his cause than his opponents have. Quote
Boges Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Ford should be forced out now. Only way. He can't be, nor should he be. He was elected. But if he believes in his cause he needs to step aside because every day he stays he's digging a bigger and bigger hole. Quote

Awww ... it's not Rob's fault he doesn't remember half of what he did. He's clearly a blackout drunk ... who needs treatment. Maybe the humiliation of facing the truth of his own behaviour while drunk/stoned/blacked out will finally help him face his addictions ... like many addicts before him. . Quote

Hyenas need to eat too, in fact they look for the sick and lame. They are not really concerned about the mental well-being of their prey other than to assess the advantage they can gain. Quote
BubberMiley Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 The Star deserves an apology from the sickening enablers who have attacked them like hyenas since they responsibly tried to inform the public what about what they foolishly elected.

Boges Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 I bet Ilana is thrilled that Ford is saying she's not prostitute. Of course no one knew who she was yesterday. Apparently dude was in an Argos jersey and the Argos have released a statement saying their disappointed with the free advertising. Funny stuff. Quote

But if he believes in his cause he needs to step aside because every day he stays he's digging a bigger and bigger hole. People get pissed a much smaller things, but a belligerent drunk who tries to attack others when he knows he is in the wrong? Nah, gets a pass. He needs to leave office or be forced out. Plain and simple. He was done months ago, he is OVER done now. Quote

I'm generally somewhat compassionate towards addicts, but there's struggling with addiction and then there's being an unapologetic user, bully and entitled scumbag. Guess which one Robbie is? Quote

Boges Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 For bros getting a show on Sun TV. Just gold. Got any cite? The Toronto Sun has been quite hostile to the mayor recently. Quote

jacee Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Hyenas need to eat too, in fact they look for the sick and lame.Spiderfish, the media didn't hold Ford down and pour booze down his throat or coke up his nose.But at least you are now acknowledging that Rob Ford is "sick and lame". Now he just needs to recognize it, take a break and get help. ---- Did you hear the one about two staffers in his car with him driving, when Rob pulled out a mickey of vodka and chugged the whole thing? They made him stop and let them out. Maybe they were just p'd that he wouldn't share. And this is attractive ... The woman "said I wanted to eat her py," Ford said before cameras. "Ive never said that in my life to her. I would never do that. I'm happily married. I've got more than enough to eat at home." Oh I'll bet his wife is thrilled to hear that! Something tells me she won't be on his menu for a while! <munching popcorn, watching RoFo train wreck> Edited November 14, 2013 by jacee Quote
GostHacked Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Got any cite? The Toronto Sun has been quite hostile to the mayor recently. How hostile has Ford been to reporters? Quote
Boges Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 How hostile has Ford been to reporters? Not talking about reporters, more the opinion pieces, cover photos etc. Quote
Boges Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 There it is. http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/straighttalk/archives/2013/11/20131114-120008.html Quote
