Harold Ford, Jr. now on Fox. Ugh...

[vaberella]

I was a bit surprised to see this since last I saw Mr. Ford it was on MSNBC. Well now he's moved on to greener pastures, or as my teach would say..."A fresher field to diss on Black people.", I have to say he's basically putting them to pasture though, but I don't know how long that will last.

The problem I have with Ford is the fact that he sometimes can get a bit way too right wing---that's a guy who quotes bible texts for fun. Normally I think he's great---meaning I do find his analysis very insightful. But now I think he's another Ron Christie (although he's been dumping right wing tp's lately). I think it's because he's remembering he's Black.

Anyway he's on Fox now. Just thought I'd drop that by.

1. There is something I don't care for in Mr. Ford that is visceral......

Meaning I can't put my finger on it, but it is something there.
Maybe I feel like he is too self serving or something like that.
He's more interested in what he says and how it makes him appear wise,
when in reality, he's just repeating conventional wisdom based on beltway minds.

2. Oh, I can put my finger on it quite easily.

:evilgrin: I'm certain his mama trained him good not to bring no jungle bunnies home. ;-)

3. I feel the same way

The first few times I saw him, I thought he was a cutie pie. But the more I saw him, the more I heard him speak and the more I learned about him, the slimier he got to me.

Now, I practically :puke: whenever I see him.

4. I've never cared for that guy either. He's probably feeling at home

at Faux.
