Toronto Mayor Rob Ford calls latest rant video a ‘minor setback’

A video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford ranting in a Jamaican accent and slurring his words on Monday was a "minor setback," he said, maintaining that his personal life did not interfere with his job. I had a minor setback. We all experience these difficult bumps in life," Ford said at a press conference called on Wednesday to discuss the city's budget vote. "Folks, that is absolute nonsense." Ford, who pledged last year to clean up his act after a crack-smoking scandal, admitted on Tuesday he had been drinking the previous evening when the video was shot at a suburban eatery.
