Is Rob Ford trying to @norm us?

Rob Ford isn’t going away, he’s only getting @norm-ier.

That’s the message our former mayor and Ward 2 councillor sent this morning when his Twitter account, @TorontoRobFord, starting spewing hilarious vitriol at journalists and #topoli fans.

It started with this:

A little weak, sure, but the Etobicoke councillor’s account’s game got stronger as more people took the opportunity to see what kind of attention they could get from our city’s most famous politician of all time. And I have to say, even if he’s taking a cue from Ward 40 councillor Norm Kelly’s Twitter success, it’s a far cry from the earnest dad jokes spewing from @norm.

So who is Ford’s mysterious new social media manager, who has a sense of humour, the stomach to work for Rob Ford and who seems to know a lot about the Blue Jays, the Leafs, drywall and Etobicoke restaurants? Could it be… him?

Who knows. But if @norm is dad, then @TorontoRobFord is that oddball uncle you’re always a little uncomfortable seeing.
