Colombo was the 40th Prime Minister of Italy. Once safely retired he announced that he was prone to sniffing a line of cocaine now and then, and, by the way, "I'm gay."
Contrast that to the travails of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Canadian media have been in a major flap for months because Mayor Ford may or may not have been filmed smoking a crack-pipe.
What's the big deal? Is he puffing that pipe during his working day? Mayor Ford has built more bridges to the black youth of his city than any Toronto mayor in history.
And apparently he's not even gay!
Let the man do his job.

What Toronto Mayor Rob Ford forgot to mention in his "denial"
If you parse the actual words the Fat Man spoke, you'll notice he cut himself quite a wide swath of slack.
"I do not use crack cocaine... I am not addicted to crack cocaine."
As has been widely pointed out by now, that's quite a bit different than saying you never used crack cocaine.
But what about this focus on crack cocaine?
Sounds to me like he has pretty much admitted to using the old-school powdered stuff all day long! Hell, he might even be addicted to it!
