Brave New Films has come out with a video of sleaze monster Harold Ford’s biggest Bullshit Moments:
Harold Ford responded by siccing his high priced attack poodle on reality:
Davidson Goldin, a spokesman for Ford, called the video “distorting” and stressed that if he ran and were elected, Ford would serve as an “independent Democrat.” He likened Ford’s positions on some issues to those of Bill Clinton and Chuck Schumer, and sent a video of Barack Obama speaking in favor of Ford.
“Harold Ford is and always has been a supporter of abortion rights and any suggestion otherwise is a baseless attempt to distort his record, and any group that truly supports abortion rights should have enough self-respect not to resort to lying in an effort to protect an unelected senator,” Goldin went on to charge. Ford has had the support of pro-choice groups in the past, but NARAL issued a statement saying his voting record was not consistent.
Yeah. Who are you gonna believe? Actual video or a something something something blah blah blah bullshit bullshit bullshit that his spokesman said? Tough call. I know.
Davidson Goldin has experience in these kind of matters having started his spin career by representing James Frey who told a million little lies which is, like, five less lies than Ford will tell in one day before he has even had his pedicure, so Goldin can probably do this in his sleep.
But he’ll still bill hourly…

“independent Democrat.”
now where have I heard that before?
oh yeah, this douche
Took the words – well, the sentiment – out of my mouth.
TBogg – this is worth knowing, but, uh, shouldn’t you be asleep? Wouldn’t want you to miss that 4 am trip to the
pottyyard.Ouch. That vid is like watching that scene from Monty Python’s “Holy Grail” where the poor sap gets his limbs cut off one by one, all the while claiming they’re simple “flesh wounds.” Well done, Mr. Greenwald and team…well done.
Hey Gnarly-Davidson…ya know who else Obama spoke “in favor” of, and just recently? Kristin Gillibrand.
Damn dude. You gotta be a special kind maroon to get me to start defending Gillibrand. Yeesh.
Davidson? Sounds like the name of his butler. Was
hackflak Tad Devine not available?“Harold Ford is and always has been a supporter of abortion rights and any suggestion otherwise is a baseless attempt to distort his record…”
“Any use of Harold Ford’s past statements to imply that Harold Ford is a jive-ass, motherfucking, two-faced, opportunist is just another example of how the Democratic establishment suppresses anyone who disagrees with the entrenched power brokers. We resent the scurrilous suggestions that Mr. Ford’s $1,000,000 annual salary means that he’s bought and paid for by rich Wall Street bankers. Anyone, rich or poor, who can provide Harold Ford with a $1,000,001 annual salary will find him their most ardent champion.”
Isn’t/wasn’t Harold Ford Rahm’s BFF?
Digby on the medicinal qualities of TBogg….

Ford looks a little like a very cut rate, even sleazier, skinnier, dumber version of Alex Rodriguez. Ya think he moved to Manhattan to try to bang Madonna?
A-Rod! I was trying to place that smarmy little weasel face. Hat tip JDM.
which is, like, five less lies than Ford will tell in one day before he has even had his pedicure
… in his helicopter.
the Fluffy Bunny Bund… good times? More like the best of times!
From The Black Snob: pics of Obama and Junior standing next to each other. It’s like someone in 2D standing next to someone in 3D.
And he has a free forum to smarm his douche-i-ness with Joe and Mika a few days a week. And it’s a free ride with those asshats…
How ’bout a quick question, you tools? — “”Harold, I’ve noticed that you spend hours a week here providing expert “analysis” on Morning Joe, and you’re also doing other regular interviews and providing “analysis” on the wireless and the teevee. Just how many hours a week do you have to put in to get that $1 million salary.”
Just a regular guy, that twat.
Gotta second this one.
I come here for the chuckles and occasional Boobie.
I was just curious if TBogg is going to follow his own advice and support Harold Ford if he manages to win the primary? As TBogg would say himself “Grow the fuck up”
No. Harold Ford is not the lesser of two evils. He’s is where evil goes to get a pedicure.
He voted with the democratic caucus a mojority of the time when he was in Congress. I am sure he would again. I am just trying to understand why you would bash somebody for sitting out of the Mass. vote if you would do the same thing in New York. You obviously have a line in the sand, it just must be different than others.
From a Tennessee Democrat to my brothers and sisters in New York: Run away!
I worked my ass off for that schmuck, only because Corker was (and is) worse. You don’t have that awful choice.
Plus, he’s short. Short men are bad news. The only reason he looked so intimidating in his idiotic stunt with Corker is because Corker is a fucking dwarf.
If he gets elected, he’ll have less time to spend on the teevee, which is where he belongs, because he sure is purty. But he shouldn’t be on political shows, because he’s obviously stupid about politics, or he wouldn’t have given an interview with the NYT that would make Marie Antoinette blush.
