Seriously, I get that he may not deserve the benefit of the doubt in the court of public opinion, but in the real world and in the court of law, this is exactly how it should play out when everything is taken in context.
Where's the damn video? That's all it would take to get this thing settled once and for all...but the Star doesnt/didnt want to pay the price that would back up their accusations? Hmmm. Interesting isnt it and very odd IMO? Does that not lend some credence to the idea that said video...isnt real? If not, why not. Especially when we have several believeing that the words of a couple reporters from one anti-Ford newspaper is all the "proof" they need?
The double standards among the left are freaking astounding to me, though that shoudnt really be what this debate is about.
Whatever this clown has done in his past has nothing to do with very serious accusations made by a very large and influential newspaper without ANY concrete proof to support it even though they had every opportunity to purchase said proof.
Its a witch hunt no matter how you slice it.

That "denial"... don't you see the holes in that.
He didn't even try to say he's never smoked crack.
Regarding the "advice of my solicitor", I"d probably get a new one if he told me not to defend myself.
I'd also have my lawyer suing the hell out of people who made up lies about me.
The video might not be real, but going by Ford's reaction to it all, I'd say that the possibility certainly exists that it, umm, exists.
It seems more likely to me that this guy, who is no angel, got high one night and was too stoned to notice someone filming him, than this whole thing is made up of out thin air by the dreaded left-wing conspiracy.
