A Gal With a Past?

Toronto Star chick Heather Mallick is having a meltdown over the prospect of a Ford mayoralty, in the course of which she seems to want to come clean about some of her own sordid proclivities:

You appear to be missing a tooth. And there's something in bed next to you. It is the sweaty, beer-smelling oik from the bar last night.
