Because it is complete crap, and this person sounds like a troll

Ford's behaviour has opened the flood gates for this type of thing. Everyone has seen how the 'mayor' can do whatever the hell he wants, say whatever he wants and still be elected, mobbed by fans and given rock star status. Ford has allowed all of the festering hatred and bigotry to be...

Thanks so much!!

Open apology to thedeepend. My mistake!! I actually quoted you as opposed to another poster who constantly uses thinly veiled homophobic talk. I hope you accept my apology. Anger got the better of me and I replied to the wrong poster.

I don't give a one small care as to how the 'optics' appear to right wing mouth breathers. Not even a little bit and frankly, your suggestion that everyone should somehow consider how these throwbacks think is a lot insulting. Sorry, we are here to win, and we will never win if everything we do...

Sorry, strongly strongly do not agree. Not even a little bit. I took my child to rallies since he was about 9 years old. Because of his involvement in rallies and the fact he was exposed to so many caring and kind people at these rallies he grew up to be a really open minded, kind and caring...

In practical terms you are right, it doesn't matter. But, Ford Nation believes the bullshit that Ford is a hard working councillor with a better rate of attendance than any other mayor (right!). The media needs to keep making the connection between his drugs and booze and his no shows at work...

The hate is scary isn't it? It is the same hatred FN people, women (always always women), gays and lesbians, immigrants, unions and public servants are subjected to every single time austerity and\or economic woes appear. This appeals to all of those who think with their 'gut' and are completely...

I know I am many pages behind, but this was pure gold. Thanks. Still laughing.

Thank you. Are we to believe no cell phone, no emergency button, no phone in the elevator....at the Hilton? Btw, the service elevator is used mainly by staff. There would definitely be a working means of direct communication there. I find it very very hardto believe there is no cell...

Like all elevators in decent buildings everywhere, (especially the Hilton), there are phones and emergency buttons. It may be possible Ford was stuck in the elevator. I think he's a spoiled man-child completely lacking the intelligence or foresight to let the guests. who paid reportedly...

It's very possible he wasn't drinking as much these last few weeks because he was on extra does of xanax or Valium. These drugs combined with alcohol can cause similar speech patterns and lack of control. I can easily see Rob Ford addicted to tranqs.

Yep. Currently they are screaming to leave him alone. We're picking on such a delicate little flower. They love him all the more for this. I do not think, however, that this is going to get him more votes. the core that doesn't care about this city and still supports Ford will always support...

And so far, they have. What a sad sad statement this fiasco makes about this city and the rules (or lack thereof) that allows such a massive failure to continue pretending to run Toronto. Ford now knows Lisi may be setting him up. Wait for Lisi to meet with an accident.

Yes. Yes he is dumb enough. I don't even think it is being dumb, it is his over inflated sense of entitlement. Why should it matter to him if he gets caught with Lisi? He was caught by the police drinking and driving (more than once), and exchanging most likely drugs, and nothing, not a thing...

He's not funny, his behaviour isn't funny. I am shocked anyone even remotely bought into the bullshit this asshole had stopped drinking. W are talking about a pathological liar here. I would bet 100 dollars this tool never stopped drinking. He's playing his remaining nationals for the fools they...

I also saw that coming and I realized I should have made things a little more clear. It isn't a gay trait, but it is a trait of a man who has been potentially hiding his real self for all these years, faking at a marriage, straight sex... overcompensating by being macho and feeling resentment at...

Hold up here, huge difference between being accused of being a pedophile and suspected of being gay.

I saw this one a mile away. Lots and lots of cues to get this impression. His dislike and bad treatment of women, his need to surround himself with teenage boys and young men, his fear of mixing with 'the gays', his over the top frat boy persona.

Thank you. This would have been my reply as well. Ford displayed the only thing he is good at - bullshitting and electioneering.
