Harold Ford Jr calls Palin a "formidable" candidate for President

[Amerigo Vespucci]

This space never has had anything negative to blog about Former Congressman Harold Ford Jr. until today. His statement about Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was so grating the television set was turned off.

Ford said that Palin was going to run for President and that she was "formidable." That was when this space wondered if Ford was being paid by a Republican operative.

Sarah Palin has so many errors and mistakes that will be tossed back at her in the middle of a presidential campaign it would be embarrassing. Ford saying she was "formidable" just gives hope to her foolish faithful. There's not much more to say there.

But there is more to say about Ford claiming he's a Democrat but, and beyond Sarah Palin, sounding like he's a Republican when on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Instead of talking about what's wrong with Republicans and The Tea Party, he goes all Fox News on us and talks about what's right with Republicans.

Now I know Ford's trying to get paid by someone with the GOP. The best move for Ford is to get out of the Democratic Party.

17. Just saw Harold Ford in a tee vee commercial with Colin Powell's son, hack of the FCC.

Michael K. Powell. What a scuzzbucket. They were hawking bipartisanship in the name of something called Broadband for America.

4. He's right.

From the Free Online Dictionary:

for·mi·da·ble (fôrm-d-bl, fôr-md-)
adj.
1. Arousing fear, dread, or alarm: the formidable prospect of major surgery.
2. Inspiring awe, admiration, or wonder: "Though a true hero, he was also a thoroughgoing bureaucrat and politician, a formidable combination" (Mario Puzo).
3. Difficult to undertake, surmount, or defeat: a formidable challenge; a formidable opponent.

He must have meant #1.

5. Right. Like he was a formidable Dem. But I wish I could raise one brow like he can.

That superpower would be cool.

7. Half term, quitter

8. what facts matter....oh my god,

where have you been, she is g.w.bu$h x 1000, the perfect puppet candidate. if you don't think she is "formidable" it really doesn't matter, all they have to do is run the bitch and it's a done deed in the mind of the rethugs, and don't forget the criminals can steal an election like it was a pack of bubble gum, all it has to be is close. there is no reality, no truth anymore, it's just a pretty face and nice boobs; once she is in office they bring in dick to run the show again. she scares the living shit out of me dude, that's pretty goddamn "formidable".

9. Riiiiiiight. And Muggsy Bogues is a formidable NBA Center.

The Farce is strong in this one.

10. I turned off Harold Ford long before that.

11. Kick,kick,kick &recommended!

I saw this the other day and started to post it I changed the channnel I was so damn angry. This mfker seemed to be trying to fill in the slack for scarborough since that is his boy..He uses him to beat up on Dems,the Pres and the supposed voice for black America...

12. A political/corporate suit giving a GOP meat puppet some praise hardly

makes me even raise an eyebrow anymore. This is the age of the wealthy and privileged! Sure she is formidable...she has the seal of GOP meat puppet approval on her forhead, lots of money, a huge paymaster and she leaves STUPID everywhere she goes! Just look at stupid Harold, normally doesn't say idiot things...but Sarah is involved, BAMM stupiiidddd.

13. Rocktivity calls Harold Ford Jr. a formidale idiot

14. He's NOT a Democrat. He's DLC. nt

[Tutankhamun]

15. I really doubt she will run, at least not in 2012.

She doesn't like hard work. She's far too lazy to want to be President. The only way I'd expect her to run for President would be years down the road if the media had lost interest and she needed a way to get back in the limelight.

[Rex]

16. Plus there is the ironclad meme that she might 'quit' halfway through for presidency!

I mean, she did it before as governor...you really want a president that will quit America!? I know the TeaGaggers will still vote for her, they don't understand their own self, best interests.

[Frank Booth]

18. That's like calling George W. Bush formidable! Remember that idiot?!?

All my friends and relatives told me how he was too stupid to make it into the White House. How did that one work out?

[Richard Steele]

23. Exactly.Ford is just doing his part to make her eventual "victory" believable to the masses.

The people who actually run this country have
obviously decided to put her into th White House.
Why else would they be working so hard to make people
continue to pay attention to her?

[DefenseLawyer]

19. I need a shower n/t

[madrchsod]

20. he thinks she`s hot.......

[political_Dem]

21. He's certifiable. Did he forget what happened to him when he ran for Senator in Tennessee?

And after all that he wants to support GOP candidates who have shown proof that they are racist?

He's making more excuses than Michael Steele. That brother better open his eyes before it is too late.

[smalll]

22. I think he has the hots for Sarah. He wants her to come back with, "Harold, call me."

Anyone else remember his embarassing, gaffe-filled attempt to gin up interest in his running for Senate in NY not that long ago? Google up "Harold Ford" and "Gothamist" -- they followed that whole fiasco rather closely.

[deacon]

24. He needs to sober up. n/t

[spanone]

25. stupid america could make her president and harold vice

[IndianaGreen]

26. The head of the DLC has spoken! He wants Palin to be GOP nominee.

Shall we bow down to this POS?
