Rob “Fucking” Ford allegedly berates 911 dispatchers in aftermath of 22 Minutes ambush
That a simple Google search for “Rob Ford, bitches” now returns a wealth of recent stories is definitely bad news for the mayor. The latest in the ongoing Ford-versus-CBC drama is that Ford, who called 911 twice during Monday’s ordeal, allegedly abused dispatchers. To put it more directly, he called them “bitches” and asked (we assume rhetorically) “Don’t you fucking know? I’m Rob fucking Ford, the mayor of this city!” We could point out the irony in Ford’s impatience with pushing for police cuts and then complaining about lengthy wait times. Or that the poor mayor doesn’t seem to know what 911 is actually for. But instead, we’ll just wait patiently for the recorded phone call to leak. Read the entire story [CBC] »
I seriously have to wonder just how sheltered our Mayor was growing up. Its like he never learned how to handle things like a responsible adult. Every time he’s faced with a situation, his reaction is to blow it way out of proportion and then try to lie about the situation in order to cover up the fact that he acted like an idiot.
He could’ve made this whole thing blow over in no time had he handled it more responsibly – its perfectly plausible that he just didn’t recognize Mary Walsh and momentarily panicked. Despite what many people may think, not everyone watches the CBC or This Hour has 22 Minutes.
Instead, by lying about what happened and then berating the poor 911 operator while calling for the cops, including saying the now guaranteed to be infamous “Im Rob F-ing Ford”, he’s ensured that this story will have legs for days, while he (and Toronto by extension) continues to be a national laughingstock. Just wait until the tape is inevitably leaked.
My god, the end of his term can’t come soon enough for me.
He meant to say “I’m Rob the fat-f*ck” Ford!”
. We missed out on a golden opportunity. If we wanted a bizarre, dimwitted bully for a mayor we should have gone big and traded him for Gaddafi when we had the chance. The Libyans would probably have covered 10 years worth of municipal debt and a new subway as part of the deal. Rob Ford could have got a police service that would do what he wanted and some comfortable robes that would have flattered his figure.
