Damn it, Rob! What kind of self-respecting crack house has utilities that havenât been disconnected and scavenged for their copper by looters?
Do you think that you are Just Too Good for the crackhouses of the common man?
What I found more than a little surprising was the fact that a journalist on NPRâs Morning Edition this morning seemed very dismissive of previous Ford scandals. I canât get the recording to play now so I canât quote from it exactly, but he implied that Ford is really a decent legislator whoâs just had a few problems adjusting to running a big city. His focus was on Ford as a âhands-onâ kind of guy, at one point comparing Fordâs governing style to Bloomberg going to one of New Yorkâs boroughs to help resolve a fence dispute between neighbors.
A quick search would reveal thereâs much more to the mayor. Too bad NPR couldnât be bothered to do some research.
If the reporter used a comparison to Bloomberg as a not-overtly-negative, that might suggest something about his standards in municipal regimes and/or near-total myopia. (Especially given that Bloombergâs approach to âhands onâ is âdystopian surveillance state centered on the city and radiating outward because hey, who cares where my police departmentâs jurisdiction ends?â)
Rob Ford : âYes, I have smoked crack cocaine.â
