He finally owned up to it. Sort of. I think he is still deflecting.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted Tuesday he has smoked crack cocaine "in one of my drunken stupors."
Ford made the shocking statement Tuesday at Toronto City Hall in a scrum with reporters.
Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine, Ford said.
But, no do I? Am I an addict, no? Have I tried it? Um, probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately about a year ago.
The mayor suggested that he hadnt been lying when reporters previously asked him about the tape.
So, I wasnt lying. You didnt ask the correct questions, Ford said.
No Im not an addict and no, I do not do drugs. I made mistakes in the past and all I can do is apologize, but it is what it is and I cant change the past.
Ford's admission comes after months of speculation that began in May of this year when reports surfaced that a video exists that shows the mayor smoking what appears to be crack cocaine.
