Too bad he isn't going to Singapore, though the lashing might not do much given the amount of padding involved.

Cringeworthy. Bad imagery … bad imagery.

I have a feeling that his supporters could very well belong to a group that a) easily dismisses them as "just allegations", b) it is a "private" matter and c) she (or women in general) deserved in - vis-a-vis head of household BS.

By all him let him go to the states - just don't admit him back to the country. Better yet, have him caught in the US doing drugs and put him to the tender mercies of their penal system.

Broken by whom? The media? This is mildly exciting. Mildly.
If Rob Ford takes the same car used as his misadventures, the U.S. border people may want to search the entire vehicle looking for specks. Maybe do a search of Rob as well.
Unfortunately, he may have his car detailed, including vacuuming the tiny corners, before going.
We all know Rob Ford buys drugs. But we don't know the frequency or quantity of his buys. To hear him tell it, he's used crack once, and marijuana in the distant past. Hard to take seriously, yes, but nobody has proof.
But if the police have Ford or Lisi on wire referring to substantial quantities of coke or crack, or a "weekly pickup" of Oxys, for example, that would change the game. "I'm not an addict" would be refuted. Ford Nation would not be able to dismiss it as a harmless, one-time binge. No apology would get him out of that.
That's the maximum potential of the un-redacted material, in my estimation.
At this point Ford supporters are either willfully ignorant or intellectually ignorant. There was an interview a few months ago with a woman who lived in the Dixon rd apartments and the interviewer was asking if she believed Rob based on his history of lying. He brought up the ACC, the drunk driving in Florida and the joint that was found on him during the stop. Her reply? "I don't know about that. I'd have to see some proof.' She needed proof of two incidents he admitted to.
I think you underestimate Ford Nation's ability to not give two hoots about any of this stuff. They rationalise it away as a personal flaw; it's irrelevant because Ford on drugs/buying drugs/lying/driving drunk/whatever is all on his own time. He is doing a great job as Mayor, sticking up for the little guy, speaking for us against all these tax & spend socialist chummy types on Council, keeping our taxes low.
Do not underestimate Ford Nation's powers of cognitive dissonance, for they are truly mighty.
