Now with 200 percent more Rob Ford: The Canadian train wreck continued Thursday with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford using vulgar terms to deny pressuring a female city employee for oral sex, threatening to sue former staffers who talked to police about his drug and alcohol use and admitting to drinking and driving but announcing he was getting professional help.
Just a reminder to Hizzoner: Hiring a prostitute is not the same as “getting professional help.”

Ford apologized and said that in the future when making embarrassing statements he would wear more appropriate clothing, such as a Miami Dolphins jersey.
