Has Harold Ford, Jr. Had His F'@#ng 15 Minutes Already? Are You Sick of Harold's Narcissism As I Am?

[David Zephyr]

What a tool this creep is!

But I know how to get him off the stage. Get him occupied with something he loves.

Just give the sniveling ego-maniac a mirror and a gallon of lube and we won't hear from him for a long time.

1. Oh, God, Yes... Please just make him...

GO AWAY! The stupid hurts....

[bluestateguy]

2. His political career ended at 37 and he can't handle it

There was a reason he was left behind in the big Democratic congressional sweep in 2006.

3. I was watching GayUSA the other night and heard that Tasini is running

in NY. Is that right?

They ran great clips of Ford being boo'd by gay folk at a meeting he *asked* for to try to make nice with the same people he threw under the bus when it was expedient.

But it's unreal. Ford tries to run and the media is all over him. Tasini runs and nobody is even effen *notified*. :grr:

5. Exactly.

If you are a right-wing democrat you are the darling of the media, if you are a left wing democrat and you look good on TV and make persuasive arguments you are disappeared.

Ford's candidacy was about propping up support for Gilibrand by getting people the sense that there could be someone more evil taking the spot. She is barely more liberal than Ford.

Tasini is the real democrat in this race.

Gilibrand is a former tobacco trial lawyer.

11. I watch GayUSA so I don't have to burden my gay friends

with constantly asking what is going on (well, that and the hosts are charming, imo) but, sheesh, *that's* how I find out Tasini is running? Maybe I heard Thom Hartmann mention it after that but Laura and Amy haven't that I know of and the corporate media? Forget it.

We seriously need to realize that the corporate media does not report news, period.

4. He looks like a lizard

[PHIMG]

6. like from the 1980s series V, right?

He's creepy and SO FULL OF HIMSELF.

another politician that ran on daddy's fame/rolodex, just like gilibrand. there are a lot of erie similarities between gilibrand and ford. nepotism just being one of them.

[KittyWampus]

7. as a NY'er I'd LOVE to hear more about how Ford and Gillibrand are eerily similar

BTW, check your shitty spelling.

[PHIMG]

9. As A NYer myself, check your shitty attitude

Gilibrand is a conservadem DLC type Democrat just like Ford. Look up her record. She's no liberal. Its not just Gun Rights either.

She's a former Tobacco lawyer people. Pop quiz-- do good progressives start their careers defending Big Tabacco?

[KittyWampus]

8. Yes, I wish Ford would just get a job lobbying for some MIC firm in NY and get out of our faces.

or go back to Tennessee. Or move to another state and try for Senator there.

[saltpoint]

10. I think the ShamWow guy has more integrity than Harold Ford.

By a long shot.

[butterfly77]

12. YES,YES,YES, and YES!
