Rob Ford admits to smoking crack cocaine - says he won't be resigning. Months after Gawker first posted their "Crackstarter", Toronto police recovered a video said to be consistent with that seen by Gawker and Toronto Star reporters. Though he originally denied it was crack he was smoking in the tape, (might have been pot, he said) today Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted that he has smoked crack. He claimed that he never lied about this, and that previously reporters had been "asking the wrong questions" This follows the alleged hiring of a hacker to destroy the tape.

I think he's saying it's OK, because he was so drunk.

A history of denials here.

This is already being discussed in the open Rob Ford thread but that thread is starting to kill my phone, so we could use a new one.

It warms my heart reading this as it's about the only thing that makes some Irish politicians look good. (And they will get re-elected too.)

We can just add this to already extant thread about RoFo, thanks.

He's like Toronto's GWB or something.

I think he's saying that he can't confess to what he doesn't remember, because that's the kind of straight shooter he is.
