Ford's defeat from jaws of victory

When you score a touchdown, people will give you credit, whether they’d like to or not.

Unless, that is, you forgot to cinch your belt and your pants fall off as you make it into the end zone, in which case the story will be embarrassing and frustrating, but not the fault of the reporters who tell it.

That is the situation Toronto Mayor Rob Ford finds himself in following his economic development trip to Chicago.

Read the rest here.

    the fords come off as idiotic with their feet constantly in their mouths. a majority of city council are also true idiots. the difference is those idiot councillors are a danger to the economic health and development of toronto.

    take away the silly sound bites of the fords and in general, their hearts and minds are in the right place for the future of our city.

    i hope they clean up their act because the worst thing for this city would be another miller and his left wing cronies continuing the destruction of our great city

    I voted for him. I like his direction BUT he is now an embarrassment and needs to be replaced. He seems to lack any degree of sophitication or class and often comes across as an ignorant buffoon. The fiscal consevatives need to come up with a more viable candidates for mayor and council or else we will give back control to the latte socialists. I blame John Tory!!!

    Ford would be well served by not talking as much as he does. It doesn't seem much good comes from him speaking.
