Leave crack smoking Toronto mayor Rob Ford alone!

By CNTributor Jason Cook

I don't get the big deal with this whole "Rob Ford smoking crack" thing.

Like, we've all experimented with drugs before, right? Who hasn't made some bad decisions related to drugs?

And crack? That's HARMLESS. It grows in the ground, how bad can it possibly be?

And we've alllll surely had out bad decision caught on tape, unbeknownst to us, haven't we? And a group of journalists -- after seeing said tape -- then started a grassroots campaign to raise $200,000 to buy the tape (about half of which has been raised already) to expose our decision?

Story as old as time!

And hasn't each and every one of us been the mayor of one of the top ten biggest cities in North America and has -- somehow -- still kept our job despite ample evidence that we smoked crack cocaine?

I mean COME ON.

Leave the guy alone!
