Toronto Mayor Rob Ford tries to escort his wife Renata out of a news conference, as the media surrounds him, in Toronto, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013. Ford has apologized for making crude comments in responding to allegations contained in court documents. Ford said the "graphic"remarks came after six months of relentless pressure. He said "revelations" of cocaine, escorts and prostitution made public Wednesday had pushed him "over the line." He called the allegations "100 per cent lies."

Crack is one thing. But pussy takes it to a whole new level. You could say this about so many life situations.

But denying he told a staffer “I wanted to eat her pussy” at an impromptu press conference this morning and saying he’s “got more than enough to eat at home” has finally forced Ford to say he needs medical help.
