Unfortunately, Mr. Ford is not in the class of a Barack Obama when it comes to the goods earned versus those given. Mr. Ford is everything liberals claim they detest in George Bush, a son of privilege whose daddy handed him everything. Mr. Ford has one up on Mr. Bush. G.H.W. Bush didn’t have the power to hand his son a seat in Congress. As the Congressman of TN-9, Mr. Ford should have extensive knowledge of his Memphis district. Instead when more than significant numbers of family and political allies alike in Memphis were swept up in the FBI’s Tennessee Waltz investigation focusing on bribery and extortion in state and local government, Tennesseans heard none of the smooth leadership previously lauded on this page. Former TN State Senator Roscoe Dixon was handed five years Federal in a Memphis Courtroom last Thursday. Don’t bother looking for Harold Ford, Jr’s condemnation of this breach of public trust by a political ally and constituent on his web site–there’s no mention at all. We’ve been rocked by allegations of unethical behavior from both Congressional Democrats and Republicans recently. If Harold Ford, Jr. cannot see, perceive and condemn ethical problems that appear to surround him in Memphis, how can we expect him to understand and respond to the scandals we see in Washington today? (Leadership PACs, Family Lobbying, Earmarks all contribute) And the Ford Machine today attempts to place another son, this one with a checkered past, on the TN-9 throne in an insurgent independent bid against the Democratic nominee: Long serving State Senator, Steve Cohen. I believe it takes a Washington outsider like Bob Corker to help clean up the mess on the Hill. Harold Ford, Jr. is an insider all the way. David W.
