[DemKR]

1. Since when does CNN have a thing for indicted politicians

[Turbineguy]

3. CNN has had programs

where they have felons explaining how they robbed houses, conned people, or stole their ID.

I wonder if they will put a mask on Delay and alter his voice.

[tularetom]

2. What a friggin DINO Ford is

I was dumb enough to contribute to his campaign before I began to hear some of the shit that came out of his mouth. He sounded just like a bible thumpin, anti abortion, pro Iraq, repuke. To telll you the truth I was not unhappy he lost after I found out the Dems controlled both houses. He's a match made in heaven for FAUX, far as I'm concerned.

[Graybeard]

9. Ford's pandering for votes in that campaign was sickening...

...I am sure it was the backlash against that craven behavior that lost the election for him. Fox and Ford, I hope they both rot in hell.

[IndianaGreen]

4. Figures that the Chair of the DLC would end up working for Faux News

Only a rightwinger would refer to the DLC as "moderate." A similar analogy would be to refer to Mussolini as a "moderate" fascist when compared to Hitler.

Harold Ford became a turd the day he endorsed Joe Lieberman!

[Elidor]

17. Amen. And why does Harold Ford hate the Democratic party?

No self-respecting Democrat would work for Fox news at this point. Ooops, sorry - it's the DLC, not to be confused with any kind of Democrat.

[Seabiscuit]

19. "moderate"???????

That struck me immediately too. Since when is the DLC "moderate"???? I like the Mussolini analogy.

[skipos]

5. Doesn't Clark have a contract with Faux?

I think he does a good job there.

[IndianaGreen]

7. Wes Clark did not endorse Joe Lieberman like the puke Ford did

and Clark has been warning us on the consequences of expanding the war into Iran.

[skipos]

11. You didn't answer my question

and this thread isn't about endorsing Lamont or Lieberman, it is about Democrats being hired by Faux. Does Clark have a contract with them?

[azmesa207]

8. Ford On Fox news

Why is it that democrats alway have to degrade another Democrat simply because he does something they dint like Calling him a turd or comparing to hitler just because he will speak on FOX

[IndianaGreen]

10. Ford endorsed Lieberman over the Democratic nominee Ned Lamont

if that doesn't make him a turd, what would in your book?

[MGKrebs]

6. Hmm, that's kind of a win-win for progressives.

Either Ford will be able to pull Fox and/or their viewers at least a LITTLE bit to the center, or, Ford will destroy his own career and drag the DLC down a bit too.

[madrchsod]

12. the black commentator website wrote about ford before the election

and they had nothing good to say about him...http://www.blackcommentator.com/

[TroglodyteScholar]

13. When they realize they didn't get Gerald Ford, they'll give him the boot. n/t

[KamaAina]

14. Or Harold Stassen

maybe he's some kind of bizarre hybrid of the two? :eyes:

[IChing]

15. Harold Ford was also named Merrill Lynch vice chairman in February

He should fit in just fine with Faux news.

If you don't know anything about Merrill Lynch and Enron.

[BenDavid]

16. CNN has came out and stated

that Tom Delay will not be offered any position with the network....Well, good for them....DAMN!

[AlCzervik]

18. CNN says Delay not joining network.

[NashVegas]

20. I'm Thrilled

As one of the Tennessee voters who was not enthusiastic about Ford, I guess this means I won't have to sit on my hands.
