Duly Quoted: Rob Ford

By Torontoist

“I don’t talk the talk, I talk the talk.”
—Rob Ford talking the talk at one of today’s mayoral debates, as quoted in the Star [UPDATE, 4:49 P.M.: Accidentally misquoted, it turns out. David Rider at the Star tells us the latter half of the quotation was a “typo,” and that Ford actually said: “I don’t talk the talk, I walk the walk.”] Ford was responding to George Smitherman, who asked for Ford to “explain to people how your character, and especially these comments”—ones Ford made about AIDS—”is justifiable.”
