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.

Globe and Mail digs deep and discovers Toronto mayor's brother once might have sold hashish!
Thirty years ago!
And you thought investigative journalism was dead!
According to the Globe they spent a year and a half digging up the dirt on the Ford family.
The mayor's brother used to deal hash, according to some anonymous informants.
The mayor's sister has had some unfortunate relationships with losers.
It's all front page news today!
You'd think that a year and a half of the paper's ever-dwindling resources might have been directed towards more significant issues, but apparently the brain trust that runs Canada's "newspaper of record" couldn't think of any.
