nope it isn't our former DC mayor this time..

and he comes from a good family...

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford lost two more staff members on Thursday, two weeks after allegations first surfaced that the leader of Canada's largest city was caught smoking crack cocaine on camera

The 44-year-old mayor, who hails from a conservative political family and was elected to lead Toronto in 2010, has lost five staffers in seven days, including his chief of staff, who was fired, and his press secretary.

"Get your house in order before you have the nerve to say anything about the mayor," Doug Ford told reporters at city hall. "We have this city in great financial shape. It's in better shape than what we inherited."

Toronto's "weak mayor" political system already limits the executive's influence and puts more power in the hands of the city council.

Mayor Ford has enjoyed a hard core of support from a segment of Toronto voters, particularly in the suburbs, who lifted him to power on a platform of controlling spending and cutting taxes, along the lines of the populist Tea Party movement in the United States.

is this a smear or is the Mayor on crack.. ?

"The idea that the proper role of a news agency is to be aware of incredibly important information, and just sort of sit on it while you dot your Is and cross your Ts … is what creates that sort of culture you have in Toronto where you have a mayor with a substance abuse problem that everyone knew about it and no one says it," Cook said.

However, Cook acknowledged in an update on Monday that "our confidence that we can consummate this transaction has diminished."

"We have had no further contact with the people we believe to have custody of this video since the last update." A previous update stated that it had not heard from the tipster since last Sunday.

seems the "tipster" can't be found now.... maybe Cook should have dotted his Is and crossed his Ts before making an allegation he can't back up... :shock: :?

Not that I support any politician doing drugs but you have to admit if he was a liberal running for the Presidency of the US he would be celebrated. :wink:
