Toronto Mayor Rob Ford now says he's packing his bags and heading for rehab. FOR REAL THIS TIME! He's taking a leave of absence (and still planning to run for re-election in October, AFAIK).
Remember how Rob's enabling mom and sister denied that he had substance abuse problems a few months back? Well, Rob's alleged realization that he needs help comes on the heels of a new video being acquired by The Globe and The Mail -- the video reportedly shows him smoking crack in his addict sister Kathy's basement last weekend.
But, that's not all. On Monday night, Rob got blotto, yet again, at a neighborhood bar and was outed on a radio station by a patron who'd recorded him bagging on his wife and yammering about how he wanted to fucking jam it to a mayoral contender, but the woman didn't want that (geez, wonder why not?).
Anyway, hope he's serious about pulling his shit together and succeeds. As it stands now, the guy's a melting mess (but absolute comedy gold for the pundits, meme makers and talk show hosts).
UPDATE: Rob Ford was diagnosed with cancer several months after his last bust for crack cocaine and thus, although he still had a lot of supporters, did not run for re-election as Mayor of Toronto.
Yesterday, Rob Ford passed away. What a colorful character he was. RIP.
