Just when you thought you couldn't feel any worse about Rob Ford [ http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/news/robford/ ]...

Police arrested Barry Layne Moore, the mayor of Hampton, Florida, on Monday for allegedly procuring and selling OxyCodone. The Bradford Country Sheriff Gordon Smith issued the following statement [ https://www.facebook.com/BradfordSheriff/posts/675178335845930 ] soon after.

"This isn’t Toronto. We will not tolerate illegal drug activity, in my jurisdiction, by anyone to include [sic] our elected officials."

Burn.

Making matters worse, Ford once offered to "try" and help a constituent score OxyContin [ http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2010/06/17/taped_conversation_leaked_ford_says_hes_being_set_up.html ]. Oh, and he was definitely arrested in Florida for drunk driving and marijuana possession in 1999.

Layne Moore also has a troubled past. He was arrested last year for domestic battery [ http://www.nowtoronto.com/news/story.cfm?content=195478 ].

Still, you know things are bad when Florida [ http://www.heavy.com/social/2013/04/10-mug-shots-from-florida/ ] is laughing at you.

Rob Ford Asked: 'Are You Having Fun Right Now' in Fox O'Reilly Factor's Interview

Published on Nov 25, 2013 by YouHotNews

(Fox News) Jesse Watters tracked down Toronto's crack-smoking Mayor Rob Ford, who plans on running for re-election despite his erratic behavior.

The mayor admitted to partying and drinking once every two months. However, he maintains that he only smoked crack one time.
"This is the biggest coup that you've ever seen in North America," he said.

As for the attention, "I'm loving this," he told Watters. "My record speaks for myself. I apologize for the mistakes, I'm only human."

Watters then hit the streets of Toronto to see what citizens had to say about their mayor. Check it all out in the clip above!
