Full story:
A repentant mayor faces his public.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford apologized profusely on Tuesday for smoking crack cocaine.
[Toronto Mayor Rob Ford]:
"There
is only one person to blame for this and that is myself. I know that
admitting my mistake was right thing to do and I feel like a thousand
pounds lifted off my shoulders."
A visibly emotional Ford
promised he'll never smoke crack again but insisted he's keeping his job
and will run for re-election next year.
[Toronto Mayor Rob Ford]:
"I love my job, I love this city, I love saving taxpayers money and I love being your mayor."

as one of his "drunken stupors", but insists he's not an addict.
He spoke just days after Toronto's police chief confirmed police have a video that shows the mayor smoking the drug.
