Why does anyone believe this guy?
Quote:
"No to answer your question," Ford said.
"I'm dead serious. When I say no, I mean never. No question, Now I'm getting offended. No means no."
But after Ford was provided with details from a Florida state criminal history record obtained by the Sun, he admitted the incident.
"I completely forgot about it until you mentioned it right now," he said.

Florida Pot Charge
And then there is:
Quote:
He told the Post at the time he hadn't been to a hockey game since Christmas. He continued his denials this week when the Toronto Star picked up the story.
"This is unbelievable," he told the Star. "I wasn't even at the game, so someone's trying to do a real hatchet job on me, let me tell you."
But Tuesday, Ford made a 180-degree turn, admitting he had lied about the incident and apologizing for his behaviour at the hockey game.
"I reflected on it last night, and talked to my family. I came forward and admitted it. That's all I can do. I mean, I'm not perfect," said Ford.

Drunken Outburst
This is the same script over and over.
I'm all for giving someone a second chance, but how many chances is he going to get? People don't need to be perfect and history is full of good politicians who were far from saints. But he simply doesn't learn. Drunk at a Leafs game, drunk at banquets, drunk at City Hall, smoking crack while drunk with known criminals. It just keeps happening.
