Faux News hires Harold Ford, Jr.

[WI_DEM]

I guess it's not surprising given that since his defeat in his senate race last year he has criticized Howard Dean and become the Chairman of the DLC. I guess he is considered one of the "rational democrats" you know like Lieberman.

2. Since he is still head of DLC/Blue Dogs that means DLC/Blue Dogs

endorse fauxnews. Which means all Democrats do.

3. I don't know - they hired Wes Clark and he kicks their asses

on a regular basis.

He certainly doesn't back down to the likes of Insannity and Orally. And he doesn't bad-mouth other Dems.

FOX News hires Harold Ford Jr. as political analyst

March 14, 2007 04:47 PM CDT






NASHVILLE, TN. (AP) - Former Congressman Harold Ford Junior has joined FOX News to provide political commentary and analysis on international events and the 2008 election.

Ford, a Democrat, served in the U.S. House representing Memphis for ten years. He lost a close U.S. Senate race to Republican Bob Corker in November.

Ford also is now a vice chairman of Merrill Lynch, a visiting professor of public policy at Vanderbilt University and chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council.

5. Sooooo-the rumors have proven true.

I was quite dubious of Ford's quest for a senate seat. I supported his candidacy only because, in a battle between a very bad candidate against an even worse candidate, my support must go to the lesser of two evils. Happily, this should pretty much remove him from future matches for a seat in government.
