QUOTED: Mel Lastman rates Rob Ford’s intelligence

—former mayor Mel Lastman, with a jab at Rob Ford (and a simultaneous mini-dig at himself as well). Unlike Ford’s direct predecessor, David Miller, who has been somewhat cagey with his criticism, Lastman explicitly called out Ford  for his bullishness and pronounced, “You can’t be that stubborn and run a city.” Of course, Ford and Lastman can go gaffe for gaffe: Both have let slip damaging racist comments, threatened reporters and shown terrible judgement chumming around with the wrong people. All of which makes Lastman’s put-down even more damning. [Toronto Sun]
