Rob Ford on Crack Smoking: Too Drunk to Remember!

Give Rob Ford a break, folks. Yes, the Toronto Mayor has admitted to smoking crack at some point in the fairly recent past, but he’s just as curious as everyone else to see the video that depicts this event. Because he was too wasted to remember it! Rob Ford Today Show Interview “I was very, very inebriated” at the time, Ford told Matt Lauer this morning on Today , adding that he’s “very fortunate” his city was not hit with a terrorist attack during one of his substance abuse binges. Ford was stripped of his legislative powers Monday, but not before actually running into a city councilwoman and knocking her to the ground. It was the latest in a string of bizarre acts that all make Anthony Weiner look like a responsible public servant. But Ford told Lauer he will not resign and also shot down talk that he has a driving of drug problem (“I have a weight issue,” he admitted). “We’ve all made mistakes, Matt,” Ford said. “I’m not perfect. Maybe you are. Maybe other people are. I’ve made mistakes – I admitted to my mistakes.” The ones he can remember when sober, that is.

Rob Ford, Toronto Mayor, Admits: I Smoked Crack Cocaine

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford acknowledged today what many have suspected for awhile. He smoked crack cocaine at some point last year, but he has a valid excuse: The politician was in a drunken stupor at the time. Rob Ford Admits to Smoking Crack According to The Associated Press, Ford admitted to this hardcore drug use during a Q&A with reporters at City Hall. “Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine,” Ford said . “There have been times when I’ve been in a drunken stupor. That’s why I want to see the tape. I want everyone in the city to see this tape. I don’t even recall there being a tape or video. I want to see the state that I was in.” Yes, there’s a tape. It surfaced in May and the crack allegation has been circulating ever since, though this is the first time Ford has directly discussed the issue; police admitted a few days ago they have a copy of the footage. Ford previously apologized for excessive drinking and other snafus while in office, but has refused to resign. Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair says he’s “disappointed” in the mayor, a comment that led to Ford’s brother actually saying Blair should resign. Ford’s former driver will soon go on trial for drug and extortion charges (seriously!) and authorities say the tape of Ford doing crack will be made public when that trial begins. Until then, cops would like to simply speak to Ford, but his attorney has turned down all requests for a meeting.
