Rob Ford - The talk that people talk

Well Rob is in it again.  This time there is no proof...only people coming forward to confess what they saw.  This time, allegedly, "Rob offered to give oral sex to a female aid".  Well she could have said it just to besmirch his name...maybe she misheard.  The thing is; sure Rob is not that popular right now...but he is Mayor of Toronto...and he is powerful.  In his world, power is king.  The truth is a tool to that end.  There is no higher ideal than power.  In some ways, he is no different than 9/10ths of all ancient Roman Emperors.  But then again, most ancient Roman Emperors were total creeps.  The point is: why go public with something like that against someone who probably has a highly proficient slime ball lawyer on speed dial...IF IT WASN'T TRUE!?   If I was going to sling mud against someone...I'd rather not pick the someone holding an AK47...unless what they did had pissed me off to the point of not caring.  I had noticed that as far as litigation goes...Rob started it.  In psychological circles, that is called a "Dramatic Defense".  Perhaps the events of the last little while have left him reactionary to detraction.  My money is on it being true...but it's only a 30/70 at best.  Not enough for reasonable doubt in the least.  When it comes down to it...it's her word versus his.  He might be a lying crack head but if you can't prove that he is lying in the instance at hand and you admitted to saying what you did, then it is 'Slander'.  The law is an ass. 

This isn't about it being true or not.  This is about Mayor Ford scaring the little folk into not coming forward with any more "allegations".  I honestly don't have any faith in the Canadian Justice system.   It's failed me damn near every time.  So can a fat, corrupt politician sue someone for 'confessing'?...no shit.  His willingness to do so is a form of manipulation.  It's a power play and...well...we've been there. 
 
Mayor Ford needs to step down and look after his own issues for a while.  He did admit to drinking and driving mocking those who challenged him on that as though it was a bullshit law.   Well it's not.  Most people know someone who has died from a drinking driver.  My own cousin was hit and killed by one.  This guy seems to have the emotional maturity of an angry teenager.  He even dresses like one:

 

I honestly don't wish him any ill will.  To be honest, if this guy is allowed to continue, he might be the greatest Mayor Toronto has ever had...I like to call that the 'Winston Churchill' theory.

...and hell...the more he says...the more I get to laugh at Torontonians about!

Rob Ford: the reason why we should vote for leaders instead of politicians

In Charge of Canada's largest city is the biggest stupid asshole politician this side of Silvio Berlusconi. 

 

There is a video of him smoking crack.  There is a video of him in "one of his drunken stupors" all out raging.  Threatening to tear out 'someone's' eyes and throat...in what appears to be a big boy temper tantrum.  The 'Someone' in question apparently called Rob a "Liar and a thief".  Well we all know that he's half right (at least).  Rob pulled a Clinton and said that he "Doesn't Smoke crack" ...then later retracted it using the words in the past tense ... last year.  He doesn't smoke it...he did...but he doesn't now.  Given the letter of the syntax, I suppose he wasn't smoking crack cocaine at the exact moment that someone had asked him that question...apart from that ... all bets are off.  

This slippery son-of-a-bitch thought he could not be called a liar by getting "Clever" with the syntax...like some fat stupid schoolboy who ate all the cupcakes.  I'd rather that he did lie directly.  The way he did it was not only a lie but an insult as well. 

Here's the rub though:  There is a racist, gay bashing, lying alcoholic crack head in Toronto:  So what?   He's Mayor.   Toronto...not only is the world laughing at you...they are laughing at me for being in the same country as you.   Clearly...politics isn't serving us very well to have this loser, and losers like him, in a position of power.  We can't make educated guesses on who a politician is based on "How they look" and "What they say".  We should have learned that from the 'Ray gun' administration (peering over the border).  I want to see a fucking resume!   There needs to be a more complete process here.

He looks the part...and he says things that voters want to hear.  Though, in his tapes, he reportedly bashes gays and minorities pretty severely.   With all the mud HE HAS HIMSELF dragged his own name through.  With all the HUMILIATING crap this guy is proven to have done...HE WON'T STEP DOWN.   Well...judgement doesn't seem to be his main strength. 

Well I'm not going to let Toronto off the hook for this.  I don't want a guy like this IN my city...never mind RUNNING IT!   From now until the end of my days, if any Torontonian comes around telling me that their city is the best in Canada...I will look them square in the eyes and say "Rob Ford".
