Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti gave one of his most memorable speeches in a debate on a bid to host the 2008 Olympics. At one point in the speech he encouraged his colleagues, appearing to read from notes on his desk in from of him, to “stop riding the miserable, old donkey of doom and gloom . . . and get on the strong, muscular thoroughbred horse of hope.” Video courtesy of City Council.
