If there’s an incriminating video out there, naturally you’d hire a criminal cracker to destroy every copy.
My prediction? Rob Ford will announce a new housing strategy.—

Then spend months denying there’s a video. When the police confirm they have recovered the video of the drug abuse, admit to drug use, but a legal drug.
Then admit to using the other drug, but not at the time the infamous video was shot.

If any other Big City Canadian Mayors have bad news to announce, you have a couple hours left to get a likely pass from our 1 trick media.—

So, there you go, Toronto. He’s really, really sorry. Now, can we all never speak of this again?—

RT @rolandparis To summarize: Yes, I’m a crack-smoking liar, but I’ve just issued a painful apology, so everything’s okay. Now, back to work

.@vickersty You’ve had a crackhead mayor for years, and you’ve only had 2 major floods since then. Things could be worse. #RobFord #TOpoli—

Only Rob Ford has the chutzpah to launch his next mayoral campaign on the day he admits to smoking crack. Unfreakingbelievable.—

Did anyone really think he was going to resign? There’s this horrible blend of delusion and entitlement at play here. Come on. #TOPoli—

What he actually said during his apology press conference was:
“I feel like a 1000 .lbs have been lifted off my shoulders.”
“I would do anything, absolutely anything, to change the past.” Even crack?
He’ll crack, but he won’t break.—

“I want to be clear, I want to be crystal clear…” Crystal meth clear. Clear, but not how Harper is “perfectly clear.” So scripted, yet so heartfelt at the same time. Odd.
“Good evening. How can I help you?” Mr Harper, “Look, I’ve been very clear.” Our PM orders room service. My column: —

Global News commentator was saying Ford’s advisers should tell him to step aside to treat his alleged larger addiction problem, because “voters love a comeback story.” Voters would love a Mayor who isn’t a crackhead drug abuser with dangerous mood swings, poor self control, and thoughtless policies that make their city less prepared for the present and future. If they equate those needs with Ford again, they’ll get the wreck of a man they collectively deserve.
Many are predicting Ford’s re-election next year. I predict he’ll become too infirm from natural causes to serve, or end up in jail as most serious drug abusers seem to do in Harper’s “tough on crime” Canada.
