Yeah, but he probably didn't inhale.

Not too surprised that he's still acting all indignant.... They didn't ask the right questions??

"Did you smoke crack cocaine?"

"No."

Okay buddy. :roll:

It is all so unbelievable. Maybe now some of his core support will start to evaporate....if that happens I can't see how he can continue on.

I'm embarrassed as a Canadian, I can only imagine how a Torontonian must feel.

It is a little surprising to me as well. Anyone know if this precludes him being charged? I know that Blair had said no charges could be filed from the video, just wondering if Ford knows that more evidence (sic) will emerge and he's trying to get in front? Regardless, it's an amusing shit-show.

And there you have it ladies and gents......What the public knew all along.

First you have to admit your problems then you can seek help.

Yeah, but it's hard to not smoke crack when your friends are all shifty characters working some kind of shady business out of a dry cleaning place. He'd have to drop all his best friends to have a real chance.

I live 15 minutes from Detroit ... this guy has nothing on what taken place in that city with their former mayor. Why would you be embarrassed? He should be embarrassed ... but I doubt he is. I know I'm not embarrassed! He doesn't represent me or my community or even my region, he doesn't represent Ontario and most certainly doesn't represent Canada ... but what this case shows is that we need "right to recall legislation". My guess is that he admitted well before the 2015 election that it might not even be an issue ... heck if he just sought out drug and alcohol rehab it'd be damn near impossible for anyone to even mention it after (the old I was addicted and now I'm a recovering addict story).

I would not be embarrassed ...

I would say most people who indulge in illegal drugs know, deal with or hang around questionable characters and to be honest I consider politicians to be of questionable character .

Yeah, the first thing that came to mind was good ol' Blagojevich from Chicago. What's he up to now... Jail? :corn:

People need to have much higher standards when it comes to who they elect into government. In the end, it's the fault of the naive fools who vote for people like this. I mean seriously... people didn't fucking see this kind of shit as a possibility when Ford ran for office?? I thought it was pretty obvious that he's a narcissistic pig. What the fuck was his competition like?? Not disgusting enough or what??

You're right, the most questionable of all, really! But still.... wtf. The mayor of TO hangs out with gang bangers? Really? Pretty weird.

4 pm Toronto time, Mr. Ford is going to hold a press conference. Listen to it live at yahoo, cbc, and other stations in your area.

He actually said "God bless Toronto" to laughter.

You cant make this shit up.

Edit: He actually said "God bless the people of Toronto"......one of the most truthful things I have heard out of his mouth.

polaris_x

just watched it ... phew ... thought he might resign or take a leave of absence ... it would have shown the guy actually has some sense of morality ... thankfully, he continues to show he lacks any class ...

memo to mayor: of course you love your job - you get paid to do nothing; you get paid to drive to mcdonalds and liquor stores so you can hang out in school playgrounds ... who wouldn't love that job!

PJ_Soul

He said he has nothing left to hide.... I SERIOUSLY doubt that!

If I just read a collection of his greatest stories to a stranger and then told that person that Ford was either one of the greatest WWF heels ever whose backstory was that he was the Mayor of Toronto, or that he was actually the Mayor of Toronto, that person would pick WWF heel everytime, right?

Jason P

This! This is the tie he chose to wear at the press conference where he admits to smoking crack cocaine????



It's got the Houston Fucking Oilers Logo on it!!!!!



Bravo, Mayor Ford, bravo ... :thumbup:

(i wonder if that red circle thing on his lapel shoots water out of it ... :think:)

The tie is from 1995. The Philadelphia Eagles logo on the left side, which the team stopped using that year, gives it away. The fact that Jacksonville and Carolina logos are there as well means that it couldn't have been used after.
