Ford says he didn't lie about crack use

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford would have admitted to smoking crack cocaine long before his eventual admission, he says. It's just that no one asked him the right question.

In a weekend interview with CNN, the leader of Canada's largest city repeated his insistence that he would remain in office and let voters decide his fate next year.

And he defended his earlier denials, saying he never lied to reporters who asked about his drug use.

"If someone would have said, came up to me and said, 'Have you ever smoked crack? Have you ever smoked weed? I would have said, 'Yeah, I have,' " Ford said. "But when you come and accuse me of being a crack addict and say, 'Do you smoke crack?' No I don't. Have I? Yeah, OK. Have I drank, have I acted like an idiot when I drank? Yeah, I did."

1. Let's all ask our mayors if they've ever smoked crack.

2. Just imagine how intimidating this turd is to opponents?

You smoke crack and essentially deny it then admit it. You regularly say asinine things yet have a loyal following no matter how stupid. Just get some compromised Bible thumper claim you got religion which is standard procedure just remember to say Jesus. I swear if I did not know better it would be America and Mr. Ford would be a Republican. I would like to offer here a campaign motto for Mr. Ford "Nothing sticks to slime".

4. They need to make a bigger mockery of him than he already is.

I would have a press conference with him and use the whole time to make him confer or deny every awful thing I could imagine. If he wants to play that game, make him play it.

Have you ever murdered anyone?

Have you ever raped anyone?

Have you ever molested a child?

Have you ever stolen anything?

Have you ever masturbated in your office?

List all the illegal drugs you have tried......

6. It's the Second Coming of Chris Farley.

7. He has a high comedic quotient

Just from today:



Ford just apologized to the councilor he took out: "It was a complete accident, I do sincerely apologize to you, Councillor McConnell."
