One more word out of either Councilor Rob Ford or Lindsay Luby, and David Miller is going to turn this car right around. Mssr Miller was prompted to scold both councilors yester day after the two adults, pictured, took to exchanging child-like taunts in chambers this past Tuesday. The spat began with some sort of pot hole complaint, and ended with an emotional Luby confronting Ford off the record.

It verbal jabs started when the weighty Ford called Luby a "waste of skin, a joke, a waste of time and a low-life." Luby, no lightweight in the name-calling department herself, fired back by calling Ford a "jerk," or his family a "bunch of jerks." Some reports, though less credible, even have Luby calling the Ford family "thieves," and pit the two bickering back and forth in a media scrum telling "your mama" jokes. For his part, Mayor Miller said that Ford must apologize, and that the recent tantrum is "not acceptable" for city politics. Adding to his fatherly rhetoric, Miller might be wise to bring out "Mr Broom" for the next council outburst.
