I'm finally getting around to watching the Ford ladies do their thing on CP24. Ledrew: This is like The Soporanos without guns. Me: Are you SURE? Blaming the media for all of his troubles though??? Really??? Ugh... What are they gonna say when he's led away in handcuffs. What kind of family is...

Good material for a sign for the 13 November rally? I'm in Hong Kong. Would love to be there...

Now we know why Dougie was running interference today. He was hoping his call for Blair to step down could overshadow his brother's admission. Motherfucker.

You've hit the nail in the head. Hotmail Lawyer may be good in the courtroom (he's gotta be good at something - and it ain't domain name registering), but he's a stupid, stupid spokesperson.

Just heard extensive coverage about the rally on 680

Great coverage. The comments made me throw up a little in my mouth.

Nice article from National Post: http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/11/04/peter-kuitenbrouwer-rob-ford-mia-council-is-running-the-place-right-now-without-him/

MetroMan, thanks as always. I know you don't want to scoop your source but can you at least tell us if it's a current or former staffer?

According to what Ford just said, one of Norm Kelly's preconditions for accepting Robbie's "resolution" to this mess was to hire a driver. I guess at least his conscience is clean from the point of view Robbie no longer being able to mowe down a group of kids on the side walk.

Just listening to this...it's amazing. Oakley is actually going after him. Presses him to say he NEVER smoked crack. Ford dodges multiple times.

Yeah - I wonder about this too. Though after the evidence is no longer a "matter of the courts", can't it be released? Any lawyers on this thread?

I know someone made this joke before but the resemblance to Trailer Park Boys is SHOCKING. Rob Ford is Ricky. Toronto's mayor is Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Wow.

I see this a bit differently. He's calling for the release of the tape because he wants to look like he's trying to be transparent about it. I'm sure his base will respect him for saying he wants the tape released (and will in turn once again doubt its authenticity) - and will start to question...

Reading the reports about Lissi's alleged extortion, and who he called the night the story broke made me think of this Gawker story from June: http://gawker.com/a-pipe-wielding-thug-stormed-the-rob-ford-crackhouse-s-511642073 Was this Lissi? Lissi's thugs?

That is indeed fascinating. How could he have seen it? Slip of the tongue or would he have legitimate access? Any legal experts?

Hotmail lawyer said he personally saw the video? That didn't come across in the CBC article...

Hotmail lawyer seems to be revealing Ford's strategy. Gaze at this awesomness: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/rob-ford-wasn-t-smoking-crack-on-video-lawyer-says-1.2325017 Just what Fraud Nayshun wants to hear, I'm guessing.

What a day! The chief did say further charges could be laid. Probably not today though. I'm thinking the police cars are there to investigate this morning's trespassing / assault. My theory on Lissi - he threatened Basso and Siad (remember the pipe wielding assault at the Basso house) in...

Agree. He's intentionally covered his ass so no one could accuse him of lying. This whole thing stinks. No one can remove Mayor McCheese while he's being protected by the cops. And it seems they'll keep protecting him until enough leaks through traditional means or back channels that they'll...
