A tale of two mayors, huh? It might be a comfort to Mr. Ford to know that a fella down in Washington DC came out of his similar situation pretty well, being re-elected mayor of his city again, a year or so after his release from prison.

Off-topic (click to toggle):
And we're a lot more forgiving and tolerant of a society now than 20 years ago, so there's a pretty good chance Ford will suffer no real fallout from this. He just needs to apologize (that's what everyone obsesses over these days...an "apology"), maybe work up a few contrite tears, do the half-hearted rehab song-and-dance (famous and/or powerful people never go to rehab on their own...they do it because they're told to by a judge, or by their PR flacks to try and save their butts - literally - by dodging other, worse alternatives) and make an appearance on the Canadian equivalent of Oprah. He'll be back in the mayoral office in short order.
