Rob Ford’s still trying to get thin—just not in the presence of “piranha” reporters
After quitting the “Cut the Waist” challenge on his radio show this weekend, Rob Ford took to the radio again to clarify that he isn’t completely done with celery sticks and weight lifting. On the John Tory Show Monday afternoon, Ford said his comments were taken out of context: when he said “I’m not even dieting anymore,” he meant to say something along the lines of “Leave me alone, you fat-shamers, I’ll lose weight… eventually. Probably.” The mayor said he will still do a final weigh-in on June 18 (brother Doug Ford is continuing with the weekly check-ins) and then continue his quest to shed 50 pounds, without the reporters who “just sit there and wait for you Monday like piranhas.” Sure, weight loss is a struggle and is especially hard for someone in the public eye, but Ford sounded mighty defensive about all the attention he has gotten, given that he invited media to the weigh-ins from the start.

why do these lefty pinko rags insist on embarrassing our duely elected Mayor Rob Ford every week even though he invited them in the first place?
They should just leave him alone and focus on their commie activities. You don’t see them bugging Fidel Castro every week do you??????????????????
Translation: There will no longer be ANY s scheduled scrums with the media. Accountability at work.
What’s with Rob’s fetish with animal descriptions for people? “Dogs”, “piranhas”, “weasels”, etc. Get a dictionary or, even better, a thesaurus.
a man can only embarass himself. we don’t rag on fidel because he is not our leader, in fact, he is not cuba’s leader anymore either…
