Video?

Front page video here

 

[Stet]

A brief confession, if you'll allow me: one night about a year ago, in a drunken stupor, I smoked a fresh ham.

 

[qizah]

Omg... popcorn.gif.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

He has to be using this as a means to deflect an even greater issue. There's no way he would just admit to this casually without a strategy in mind.. right?

It's probably a financing Crack thing. Once they got near that he needed to make a beeline towards the victim/incompetent addict persona.

 

[Divvy]

This must mean there's something worse on the second video

Did he curbstomp a puppy?

I really think Rob Ford only admits to something to try to cover up something worse.

Like you know ACTIVELY FINANCING A CRACKHOUSE MAYBE?

Was it Rob Ford?

I WOULD LIKE TO SMOKE A FRESH HAM.

 

[DopeyFish]

he said fresh

Nearly did a spit take all over my tablet. Who's funding this guy? How much worse does it get? Sad to say I'm loving this, guy is a cartoon character.

 

[DopeyFish]

hahaha

"I don't do drugs" he says after admitting to smoking crack cocaine

holy shit

 

[Azih]

You know looking at the video that honestly seemed like the most inept way of crying out for help possible

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Between #InOneOfMyDrunkenStupors and #inadrunkenstupor, twitter is on fire.

If he actually said this I'm going to vote for him in next municipal election. I'm about to burst into tears lol

 

[railGUN]

I love how he asked reporters to "ask the question properly", insinuating that he would have admitted to it, had someone asked him specifically, if he had done crack in a drunken stupor.

A journalist then proceeds to ask him "are you on drugs?", to which he smiles (annoyingly) and then walks away.

What a douche nozzle.

His family is rich, so he's funding himself. And perhaps a crack house

 

[Roto13]

hahaha

"I don't do drugs" he says after admitting to smoking crack cocaine

holy shit

It's the same trick he used last time. "I don't do drugs" means "I don't actively do drugs right now" and that can pretty much just mean "Right at this moment, I am not actively doing drugs. I quit a minute ago and I'll have a relapse in an hour."

 

[Divvy]

I can't wait to use "because I was in a drunken stupor" as an excuse for things

 

[Azih]

Well it would explain the Scarborough subway.....

 

[Liberty4all]

I'm glad he had the courage to own up to mistakes he's made.

I could care less about his personal problems, overall I'm happy with his fiscal conservatism.

He's got my vote. Unless he ends up in jail of course.

wat

 

[Kave_Man]

So is he trying to say "have I used crack cocaine?" and "Have I smoked crack cocaine?" are not asking the right question?

Willectro come back to us! I need your spin.

You've yet to respond to any evidence posted that refutes any of the so called fiscally conservative accomplishments he's made. Keep drinking that Kool aid

Everyone is just really happy about the $70 on license registration and doesn't care about "actual fiscal conservatism".

Don't worry. Bamelin has decided to be his pinch hitter.

Now I'm just sad.

 

[Brinbe]

sigh... and nothing will happen

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

So can Ford Nation use the "how do you know it's crack in that pipe??" excuse now?

 

[Sibylus]

I was wondering when the he's-got-my-vote lobby would show up. At this point Rob Ford could smoke a live puppy on TV and they wouldn't change their tune.

 

[jokkir]

Now I'm just sad.

[BigJonsson]

This is why you don't get drunk with criminals, they will give you crack to smoke so they can record you and blackmail you

 

[BobTheFork]

Yes, I tried to pee directly into a sleeping homeless man's nose; probably in one of my drunken stupors.

 

[gabbo]

Yes, that is exactly what he's saying

 

[dubq]

This guy has balls

 

[Savitar]

Denial.

He's a major user of it.

How anyone can support this guy is baffling.

I'm at work and have to stay late tonight (going through a crunch period at the office) but I'll try to put up an argument sometime this week.

Honestly, if a better conservative alternative comes up I'll jump ship. But I despise everyone else that will likely run against him. With the exception of Olivia Chow ... I like her although I don't fall in line with her politically.

With that said, I can tell you I know many people that are Ford Loyalists ... his grip is slipping. Most Ford supporters I know (Including myself) will vote for him because there isn't any viable conservative alternative.

 

[Escape Goat]

Thanks, Canada.

 

[Technosteve]

In the states you get less jail time for doing Cocaine vs Crack.

 

[trixx]

Okay, I'm done. Vote Rob Ford 2014

Just. Just, stop.

Is John Tory a conservative in name only at this point do you think?

 

[DopeyFish]

is he only homophobic and racist while drunk too?

I don't even know how you could classify him as a fiscal conservative anymore. His shitty Scarborough subway plan cost the city 85 million in cancellation fees, on top of the 65 million in fees for when he cancelled transit city. Not to mention that this boondoggle will cost every homeowner in the city a 1.6% property tax increase for the next 30 years just to pay off the loan the city has to take out to pay for it.

And that's just ONE thing

Maybe that's because that this brand of conservatism is not a good idea. Ford wasn't a fiscal conservative by any means.

 

[Perspicacity]

Which is a racist law that disproportionately harms poor/black people.

 

[Wazzy]

I'm dying at him saying he might have done it in one of his drunken stupors. Yeah Ford, so much better.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Is Stintz not conservative enough or something? You'd think agreeing with Ford on 90% of bills would count for something. And wasting $2 billion on a subway to nowhere fits with the whole fiscal conservative thing.
