Something only Rob Ford could do.

It was revealed last night that Rob Ford had claimed to not have been arrested for a drug charge only to reveal that he had in Florida. People jumped all over him for supposedly trying to deny or cover up this impropriety. He said he forgot.

The question became, how can anybody forget a pot bust in Florida? After his press conference this morning, his revelation not only made sense but is so very Rob Ford.

Ford said that the reason he forgot the dropped pot charge was because it was in a much more serious DUI charge to which he plead guilty. In that light, it makes sense why somebody might forget a dropped secondary charge.

Does it make Rob Ford look good? Not really. But it certainly takes the wind out of the sails of his critics and rival candidates that he was intentionally lying or trying to cover it up. And by revealing the other charge he now looks even more honest.

Only Rob Ford could turn a DUI conviction into a sign of honesty.
