Lol. Mayor Ford threatens to sue waiter who says he saw Ford snorting coke-

and others.

<snip>

Ford earlier in the day threatened legal action against former chief of staff Mark Towhey and others following the release of court documents quoting individuals alleging he has repeatedly used drugs and been seen with a woman who may have been a prostitute.

"Unfortunately, I have to take legal action," Ford said.

Ford also singled out his former press secretary, George Christopolous, former deputy press secretary Issac Ransom and a waiter at Toronto's Bier Markt, the downtown nightspot that allegedly was the scene of a much-discussed incident on St. Patrick's Day 2012.

"I have to take legal action against the waiter that said I was doing lines [of cocaine] at the Bier Markt, that is outright lies. That is not true," he said. The documents include descriptions by former staff and others of Ford's alleged behaviour.

Ford also said this (presumably with a straight face)

"When you attack my integrity as a father and a husband, I see red," he added. He asked the media to respect his family's privacy.

And the photograph at the link has got to be the most cringe worthy pic of a wife standing by her man ever taken.
