That's a good point.

Wow. Normally those are lost on you.

Big day for you.

He has to be the only pol that hasn't at least tried to play along. Have they ever done Stevo?

Steve was a good sport about it. It was pretty funny actually. They made peanuit butter sandwiches, I recall.

“It was pretty dark still and my daughter was with me, there was a black Jeep or something outside of my door, I sort of looked at it ... then two people who didn’t identify themselves came running up, they tried to get in my car and they stopped me from getting in my car.

That's the price of being the mayor of the Big Toe, buddy. Suck it up, you wussy. You don't think 911 have anything better?

I think Ford is a bit of a moron, lose some weight dude. But, he has had death threats made against him recently, the left hate him and that's his driveway at 0800. As in his house.

I don't find Mary Walsh at all funny as her lefty agenda shines through her silly character.

The CBC shot themselves in the foot on this one. Maybe I should make a freedom of information request on this incident. The CBC could ignore it like all the other FOI requests they get.

[FieryVulpine]

Y'know I'm beginning to think Mary Walsh and the Ceeb knew what they were doing when I think about it. "22 Minutes" ratings are likely not as goo as they were 10-15 years ago and with Rob Ford being an easy target they knew they could stir up a little controversy to bring some attention to their failing show.

Or am I giving them too much credit?

Regardless of what politician it is, give them some time at home with their family.

Low brow tactics to ambush anyone at home.

[andyt]

Agreed. And, he could have come off looking a lot better if that's what he'd said to them before going inside and ignoring them. Calling 911 seems a bit much.

[herbie]

Politician. If they want sanctuary they can hide in some church basement. Ford's kid gonna hide in the basement on Halloween or go to one of those sissy schools where only carebear and spongebob suits are allowed?

The left hates him, sure, but so does the right and they both hate him for the same reason: he's a moron. The people who voted Ford in are neither right nor left. They're the morons whose only reading is the sports section of the Toronto Sun. They barely know their left from right when we're talking about their shoes, let alone their political persuasion.

That said, leave the man the fuck alone when he's at his home. Even moronic public figures deserve their privacy when they're not at work.

Ford is not helping his case and image

$1:

Toronto’s 911 dispatchers are accusing the city’s mayor, Rob Ford, of calling them "bitches" and hurling a string of profanity at them during an emergency call early Monday.

Ford called for police assistance when Mary Walsh, part of the CBC-TV comedy show This Hour Has 22 Minutes, ambushed him in his driveway dressed as the character Marg Delahunty, with cameras rolling.

In the video of the encounter, Ford seems at first to be playing along, but becomes increasingly agitated, asking, “Can I go to my car please?”

Ford eventually walked back inside his home and called 911 — not once, but twice.

$1:

Sources say Ford turned on the dispatcher, yelling: “You … bitches! Don’t you f--king know? I’m Rob f--king Ford, the mayor of this city!”

Recordings of the call have spread like wildfire throughout the police service — even though officially Toronto police spokesman Mark Pugash tells CBC News they can't discuss a private call to the 911 service.

$1:

The situation comes just a week after the Toronto Police Services Board approved a new police budget for 2012 that included a 4.6 per cent budget reduction, but not the 10 per cent cut demanded by Ford.

Under the terms of the deal, Chief Bill Blair will reduce his operating budget for next year, but won't be forced to lay off any officers. The budget plan also calls for a further 5.4 per cent reduction in 2013.
