[TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] Toronto's disgraced mayor, who has admitted to smoking crack and binge drinking, has said he is "not perfect" and takes full responsibility for the embarrassment he has caused.
But, in interviews aired on Tuesday, Rob Ford, who on Monday was stripped of most of his powers, disputed he has an alcohol problem.
"I've embarrassed not just myself, my family, my friends, my supporters, the whole city," Mr Ford told NBC's Today show. "I take full responsibility for that. We've all made mistakes ... I'm not perfect."
However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
when asked if he was in an alcohol treatment programme, the mayor said: "No, I have a weight issue. Have been training every day."
In remarks to ABC's "Good Morning America" show, also aired on Tuesday, he pledged to reform his behaviour but noted that "talk is cheap."
