Ford takes a beating

Carolinas blogger Skeptical Brotha wailed on Harold Ford Jr. last week in a piece entitled, Harold Ford Jr.: Prince of Tennessee.

He begins:

Tennessee is a small, benighted, southern backwater that has always been ruled by a corporate oligarchy of rapacious capitalists.  Three sons of Tennessee have assumed the nation’s highest office and all have been significant historical figures in their individual capacities. They are Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson, each a more dangerous fascist war hawk than the last. 

This year, another son of Tennessee is running for President, and no, I am not referring to former Senator Fred Thompson or former Vice President Al Gore.  I am talking about Harold Ford Jr, the new Prince of Tennessee, now that Al Gore has so unmistakably abdicated his title and the throne that went with it.

And then he gets down to it. Whew!

I think we all just got slapped in the face.

Maybe Ford's pending nuptuals will remove the "Call me" ads from acceptable trashy advertising. Perhaps that's worth a few poll points. If it's Frist he runs against, I think there's a new line of attack Ford could take that he couldn't with newcomer Corker.

Then again, maybe we Dems can find someone even better.
