To a liberal, what's worse than smoking crack? Opposing higher taxes! Admission: I'm libertarian when it comes to drug laws. I believe the War on Drugs has been a big bust, excuse the pun, just like Prohibition was.

That said, I still found hilarious Chris Hayes' statement on his MSNBC show tonight, commenting on the admission by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford that he had smoked crack cocaine, that Ford had done worse things. Among the litany of Ford's failures that were worse than getting on the pipe? Opposing higher taxes and privatizing garbage collection!

This guy's press conference today was one of the most memorable political spectacles in recent years -- perhaps rivaling some of the bizarre Anthony Weiner public appearances from earlier this year.

In response to a question about whether he had smoked crack:

"Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately about a year ago."

That's Quote of the Year material there, folks. LOL.

Smoking crack just puts him in the Choom Gang.
