Rob Ford: I’m innocent! Whatever! Make me mayor!
| May 22, 2008
Of all today’s news reports on the withdrawal of domestic abuse charges against city councillor Rob Ford, only the Globe’s Jeff Gray gracefully captures Ford’s trademark ineloquence.
“I’ve been exonerated. I’m innocent, whatever terminology you want to use,” is vintage Ford: he’s full of words, yet unable to figure out which are the right ones to describe the situation—so he throws them all out there. He even uses the outcome as a means of launching his mayoral bid. A victory, of sorts, for “fat fucks” everywhere.
