Breaking : Rob Ford has finally admitted to smoking crack cocaine

[poker]

What is all this nonsense about 'due process' being spouted by Wallin.

This is about ethics, and how you conducted yourself.

[from the Duffy thread]

Really..... about ethics and how you conduct yourself...... Guess that only applies if you personally support them or not.

Why is this an embarrassment....perhaps it is...but lets not get too carried away. We all say we are embarrassed....even the media...but they LOVE TO GET RATINGS..and they play over and over and over the US late night show hosts..and all other events that have long been broadcast. Should they? Sure, they can its their right. But if the media was truly worried about embarrassment, they would not replay these things over and over and over. This folks, is about ratings, the scoop....editor ratings.

Here we go... blame the media again... is this Fatty himself? Or maybe his brother?
What don't you people get... the media did not make the story!!!! They just follow it!!!! It's a very simple concept... maybe one of the other Ford Nation members has the shared brain at moment.

The absence of a charge or conviction does not eliminate guilt, ESPECIALLY when self-admitted.

Then 75% of Canadians should be fired from their jobs.

Its not a job.... its public office.

Are you hearing yourself?
When I was 12 I got caught stealing baseball gloves from Collegiate Sports.
They didn't call the cops... they called my mom...
I was not charged with anything... nor was I convicted of anything... was I guilty of stealing? Of course I was...
Even as a 12 year old, I understood that...
Clearly I was smarter than Ford Nation is now.

Thought he said earlier that he never has smoked crack. Lying fuck. He needs his ass kicked right out of office.

No, he never said that. He answered in the present tense. He left it wide open as to what he did in the past. "I do not use crack cocaine," is different than "I have never used crack cocaine." It is a technicality, but a very subtle one at that. Anyway, I personally believe, notwithstanding whatever good he might to for Toronto, he should step aside and look after his problems before anything else.

 

[IM469]

Please name one. I rather have a Ford than Chow or Karen S. Plus he is keeping busy all news people

I don't want Chow but I sure as hell don't want a lying drunk who is a running joke. Ford is going to continue to give fiscal conservatives a bad name. The problem is no fiscal conservatives will surface while he is there because he is power hungry and him & his brother will eliminate any worthy contenders. There is a year to go - just get the lying little embarrassment out of office so a worth contender can rise up.

An embarrassment to this great City I call home.

I couldn't want Rob Ford to be re-elected more. As a spectator sport, this is better than rollerball.

Personally, I have never been upset because of the concept of Rob Ford smoking crack. We live in a real world, and like it or not a lot of "real" people have vices....Vices being how you deal with life's bullshit.

There are many people out here who function & do their jobs with "vices", whether it be alcohol, marijuana, hash, crack, cocaine, ecstasy etc.....you get the point... Let's face it had he been accused of doing any one of these things, or even seeking company of escorts the spotlight would be no different, we have seem it many times South of the border.

What I have been insulted by is his taking us sensible adults for fools. Any individual with a tidbit of common sense, knew that the man obviously has been involved with drugs in some capacity, at some point in his life.

What I am also upset about is how he has let this entire "situation" spiral out of control to the point that even our young adults & children are aware of it. How does it look for a public figure, need I say a role model to admit to doing something illegal after repeatedly lying & make it seem ok......

The man has obviously pissed off a member of "the powers that be", someone who is out for blood. Let's not forget this is not the first, second, or even third incident or accusation involving him, this is just the incident that is sticking.

My grandmother always used to say "Don't throw bricks, when you live in a glass house"....Obviously....need I say more.....

The scary part about this is that IMHO this is just the tip of the iceberg.....there is alot more to come out...

And the Saga Continues

+1 to what you just said!

 

[gargravarrh]

It is an astounding act of gross irresponsibility both to the person and to the public to deny the truth and attempt to continue in office with your credibility completely destroyed.

Not like fmahovalich had any credibility to begin with.

75% of Canadians have smoked crack? Who knew.

 

[MattRoxx]

/\ Yeah I don't know what the fuck he's been smoking. I'm certainly not embarrassed. I just wish Ford would have extended his tepid apology to the Star and other reporters who he had called "maggots" when they were actually reporting FACTS about him.

I couldn't want Rob Ford to be re-elected more. As a spectator sport, this is better than rollerball.

The 2nd Rollerball was really bad. So would be a 2nd Ford term.

Or a post-crackhead-admission continuation of his first term.

Lets not misquote..... I was referring to all of us who have and continue to commit criminal acts. As I said..what about all those who have driven drunk..... Should there be repercussions, or does that not count.

What about all you boys...being in a common bawdy house. , were you caught? Convicted? No..... But we sure lie about that criminal act.

Lets not all of us forget our glass houses!

What about all you boys...being in a common bandy house. , were you caught? Convicted? No..... But we sure lie about that criminal act.

the classic "unreported crimes" angle

 

[afterhours]

Jokes aside, the really positive thing about Ford scandal is that he has been surveilled by the cops and no evidence of him embezzling was discovered.
I would expect him to be caught with a bag of cash received from Scarborough developers for the subway deal or something of that nature.

 

[asterwald]

Honestly everyone makes mistakes, no one should expect the mayor to be and act like some sort of priest.

 

[fmahovalich]

The lefties do!

 

[destillat]

Wow... it looks like the whole collective Ford Nation brain in this forum at this very moment!!! Lucky us!

Rob is crackalicious
