No Ford In This Race
Harold Ford Jr has decided not to run get his ass kicked against by Kirstin Gillibrand.

Congressman Schock Gets Clocked
I have no idea who in the GOP leadership thought it would be a good idea to send freshman House member, Aaron Schock to Meet The Press today with the likes of Rachel Maddow and political animal Harold Ford Jr. Now I didn't agree with HFJ's weaksauce "independent" comments that he kept throwing around like his supposed disagreement about trying KSM in New York, but the guy knows how to throw sharp elbows and I'm not even sure if Shlock even caught it when he called him foolish.
Then you have Rachel, who might be a little too nice at time, calling him a liar in a polite way and putting him on the spot under the bright lights when he came with the same bullshit talking points over the underpants bomber.
I bet his head was swimming by the time he left the set lol.

All That Needs To Be Said About Harold Ford Jr.
Paul Krugman does the honors.
If this cat wins an election for dog catcher in New York I am moving out to the hills and becoming one of those militia men because the Apocalypse is surely upon us.
Wow. Harold Ford’s op-ed in today’s Times has to set some kind of new standard for cluelessness.

The Kiss Of Death
So today Anthony Weiner basically said Harold Ford Jr would be another Joe Lieberman.....
If Gilibrand's people are smart they will start repeating this theme 1000 different ways.
Update: Come to think of it, maybe this should be the platform of many of the Dems in the mid terms. Instead of running against Bush or running against the GOP, maybe running against Lieberman is the answer...

Don't Let The Smooth Taste Fool You
I missed Harold Ford Jr on "Morning Joe" today but Ta Nehisi Coates posted the video of him talking about Skip Gates' arrest. I have to say that he handled his business today for a change.
Now Coates has some thoughts on why he believes Harold Ford Jr is more animated on this subject than usual. I think that he is partly right that class has something to do with it. But I also grew up in Memphis just a couple of years behind Ford Jr. and my folks were all big time supporters of his dad. The truth is the dude grew up priveleged yes, but his family is mad gully. His uncle, John Ford, of course has made the most news for getting caught up in two different corruption probes at the same time. But many of his other relatives both in and out of politics have also been on the wrong side of the law. His father, Harold Ford Sr. was even charged with some federal crimes back in the day but got off. And his dad also famously referred to east memphis which was overwhelming predominantly white at the time as a place where the "devils" lived after he won reelection in 1994. So the guy isn't somebody who has been shielded from the realities of being a black man in America.
And the truth is the reason WHY I am usually so hard on Harold Ford Jr is because I am used to him representing like he did today or being even more passionate on everyday issues. But since he has been appearing on Morning Joe its like he is just a lap dog for Joe Scarborough. So for me it always seemed like he was selling out so he could keep coming on the show. Now the thing of it is today just so happened to be a day when Scarborough wasn't there so I have to wonder if that factored in to why he spoke more freely. But what I really hope is that we see more of this from him from this point forward.

Thats A Wrap
Harold Ford Jr officially no longer has any place in the Democratic Party. The only thing that is left is to hear him announce he is switching parties. I actually used to like that guy, especially since we share a hometown but he can duck a sick from this point forward. He was already suspect as hell with his weaksauce appearances on Morning Joe but when you show yourself to be a bed wetting coward I can no longer ride with you at all.
