I looked at that thread last night and all I saw was Towhey saying he was staying out it. Sorry to harp on about this, I'm just curious about his phrasing if he's making a denial. If he said "the mayor never had me in headlock," that would strike me as a Clintonesque "I never had sex with that mayor." After all, Towhey said Rob wasn't drunk at the Garrison Ball, which may well have been literally true.
I feel as if I am confused about the timeline. Did Rob go to rehab before or after this alleged poll that showed Doug was more likely to win? Did it propel him to go drinking in public which led to bad press which led to rehab? Or was he already in rehab and when he heard about the poll he vowed to come out fighting? What poll was it?
Well, remember--a lot of them are probably the sort who stupidly lost jobs, stupidly lost clients, stupidly lost spouses, stupidly lost court cases, stupidly got themselves waist-deep in debt--and they saw "relief in sight" through the Fords. Unfortunately, it ain't that simple, folks...
I've long felt those were the tears of a grifter.

It's still there. He said he hadn't been in a headlock since high school wrestling.

Perhaps Price thought it was a headlock that Ford was doing on Towhey but it was actually a well executed Brutus The Beefcake sleeper hold.
And most horrifying of all, Doug has a man cave at Deco.

I mean it must be embarrassing for Towhey -- isn't he supposed to be ex-military? -- to have everyone know that an inebriated lump like Rob (though a guy having 100+ pound advantage on you is no small matter) was almost able to get the better of him.
I agree with those saying that it's a trick. Towhey can say it wasn't legally a headlock because Rob's right foot didn't stay planted on the ground the whole time, or some "wrestling rules technicality" like that. Even that Star piece that evvabeing brought up (thanks for pointing those inconsistencies out, by the way ) says "tried" to put him in a headlock.

A grown man has a "man cave" at his company office where he hosts his bestie - who is not an employee - almost every day. That's flat out weird given that Dave's not a political aide. Purely social, d'ya think?
There are no shortage of reasons men might like to do thier socializing outside the home. Leading a double life of some kind or dispising your spouse are popular. Is Price married? Or maybe he missed his GO train?
True. Occam's razor suggests he finds his wife as vapid and vacuous as she seems in interviews and would rather have a couple pops with his boy in the basement of Deco than head er home.Interesting thing I never thought of before: Deco's *really* convenient to GO--just a short-enough walk (or quick pickup from Doug) from the station at Kipling & Belfield. And I think that's the Georgetown line, to boot...
But, yeah--as I suggested: given his wife and daughters, *Doug* probably has the bigger excuse to retreat to a man cave.
