Like every other gay dingbat on this godforsaken planet, Harold Ford Junior has a dumb book chronicling his Life coming out in the near future — replete with the “forward-looking/confident gaze into the heavens with cloud backdrop” provisional cover. It comes out one week before the New York senatorial primary election, in September, OH HO HO!…?? and will cover many topics INCLUDING: growing up gay in Tennessee, overcompensating in rebellion, and finally moving to New York and realizing that he has been a New Yorker along, like Bobby Kennedy and Mrs. Clinton. “More Davids Than Goliaths.” C’mon man.

Only way this David/Goliath story works is if David joined forces with Goliath to slaughter the Israelites because of their ‘net neutral connections.
David was Philistine-lite.
Books ‘by’ politicians about themselves and ‘by’ pundits about the End to Come are the only things keeping publishing afloat. They’re still typeset in India, printed in China, and remaindered in America.
“forward-looking/confident gaze into the heavens with cloud backdrop”
…that accents his light-skinned features.
Man where have I seen this bef-
Oh yeah.
I’m looking forward to the part where he talks about how to pick up white women
He was “born a poor black child”.
Wait, wait, hold on.
So the title of the book is “More Davids than Goliaths”. Common sense would normally say that when you use a title like this, you’re trying to convince people that you’re one of the Davids and you’re standing up to the Goliaths.
Except the photo has Ford photographed from below. You know. As if he towers over us, like a giant. WIth a nice clean visible shot at his forehead.
Did they think this one through completely?
The book-jacket designers aren’t even trying anymore.
Ha ha, does he really think that your average undecided voter is going to be able to finish a book in a week?
Do you think he likes to be tied up and spanked?
I think he likes to be tied up and spanked. A lot.
I hate to acknowledge my Complete Lack of Hipness: But who the f(&&k is this guy?
[re=492737]mcc[/re]: Also, if there were more Davids than Goliaths than that would make David more of the favorite in the battle and Goliath the underdog meaning David is now Goliath and Goliath David. This would mean, then, that we should now root for Goliath in the battle.
Thank Christ he moved from here to NY where he can be gay and whatever. He sucks. And not in a good way.
Neilist, he’s a member of the Memphis Fords. You should google them, because they’re awesome. And mostly in prison.
[re=492743]Hooray For Anything[/re]:
So…
- Ford is Goliath
- We should be rooting for the Goliaths
Holy crap! Their two conceptual errors cancel each other out!

If Harold Ford Jr. runs for Senate in New York, he just might face questions about comments reportedly made by his father describing his hometown of Memphis as a “Christian city” during a 2006 diatribe against a Jewish House candidate.
Ford Sr. — speaking at a rally for Ford Jr. during the summer of ’06 — veered off topic to attack Steve Cohen, who was then waging what would turn out to be a successful campaign against another Ford son, Jake.
This would never have happened if Gerald was still alive.
He be’s gay? Ford?
My gaydar is broke.
Worst. Title. Ever. The man needs a consultant already and he hasn’t even started meeting his new “constituents.”
Sorry breeders, this jackass is all yours. Stop blaming us for your fuck-ups. Disco is not our fault nor are we responsible for the hell-mouthed Tennessee trash like Harold Ford Jr.

Yo, yo, yo – I was just kidding, yo. I really love teh gays.

“More Davids,” is code for something.
So what office is A-Rod running for again?
Oh ho HO, indeed.
[re=492740]Joshua Norton[/re]: Sub-title: More Corporal Punishment than Restraint?
how do all these people get to move to NY and then represent NY?
weird. and lucky for them i guess?
Does this mean a deranged man will crush the delicate Carrara marble toes of Harold Ford with a ball-pein hammer?
DJ Yella, gonna drop it a capella…
Does being sorta halfway cute make u eligible for the senate seat of Kennedy, Moynahan and Clinton?
The subtitle didn’t fit on the page: “Not that you wouldn’t still bet on the Goliaths — because ninety-nine times out of a hundred that little pipsqueak with the sling is gonna get his ass thrashed.”
Or the alternate subtitle: “Which is why I’m trying my damnedest to convince the Davids I’m one of them.”
More Cowbell than TR808s
In Harold Ford’s defense, he is a light black and doesn’t speak in the Negro dialect.
David was a pussy. Too scared to fight Goliath like a man, he pulls out a slingshot in gross violations of the rules of gentlemanly conduct and then acts like a rock star after carrying off negligent manslaughtercide.
Will this book tell us exactly how big Harold Ford’s unit is? Because I hear the blacks lead very salacious lives.
How man Davids did Harold Ford do?
He should hook up with McGreevey.
[re=492744]AnglRdr[/re]: My friend used to drive a ’78 Mustang II with a “Memphis Ford” sticker on the back. I suspect that Harold Ford regularly drives an Escort, if you know what I mean; I don’t know if there’s a sticker on the trunk or not.
Stewardess, excuse me! I speak jive!
[re=492741]Neilist[/re]: It’s not hipness. Ignorance of politics, maybe, but I would definitely not say something to the effect of: “Oh man, look at that guy, that guy who doesn’t know who Harold Ford is….” And I am a 20something white hetero dude with an actual good job in the Hollywood, and thus, part of the Standing Committee of Hipster Affairs, so I can definitely speak on this subject.
Also! Harold Ford! Fuck that guy as NY Senator! Also, though, in fairness, he would be better than whatever Republican Cracker they did elect from Tennessee. Corker, sorry, Sen. Corker (R-TN).
So, are all these little guys running around with loaded slingshots, and no targets? Is this safe?
“More Davids Than Goliaths”…? C’mon, who the fuck pulled that title out of their ass? It’s vaguely biblio-mythological, and I know it has to do with a really sexy piece of statuary over in Florence, Italy, or something like that. But seriously, what the fuck does it mean, and how do you expect me to RUN to the bookstore to buy it with a lame title like that?
Also, Harold Ford just hasn’t had enough bad shit happen to him to fill up a whole book. Somebody got him voted out of office for apparently having too much sex with hot white chicks. Boo fucking hoo.
What the fuck has Harold Ford Jr. done in his life to warrant ANYONE’S interest in reading about his cultured, pampered upbringing? Shit, around here people would think he was related to the Ford car people…until they saw a picture of him. Seriously, his level of narcissism is something else.
Slinging rocks at tanks and soldiers armed with automatic weapons will only end in tears.
Inevitable Obama comparisons in 5…4…3… AIM! FIRE!
Could it be that Harold is also getting his marching orders from “God”? Both his and Palin’s cover shots show them gazing upward. Either that or they are dodging a flock of pigeons as the shutter clicked.
Where is the metaphor?
“Mouth of the Potomac”
Okay, I gets it.
[re=492741]Neilist[/re]: Took the words right out of my snarky little mind.
“More Davids than Goliaths”
but will it be more Hunter S. Thompson than Going Rogue?
[re=492761]sleptwithyetti[/re]: [re=492764]Holy Cow!![/re]: No, no, no. Let me help here: Jimmy’s just twitting this hep, young, metrosexual looking Ford guy because when he was running for senator in Tennessee of somesuch homophobic backwater, he was SO anti-gay marriage, because of Jebus’ word, or something.
NOW, the hunky metro mulatto Ford is carpetbagging in NY, where polls say 124% of the populace is gay, gay, gay (source: Fox News), and he overcompensating by saying he wants to gay marry center fielder Eli Manning of the Buffalo Bills Professional Basketball Squad, because he loves the gay thing so much, and so NY queers should thereby vote for him.
We all suspect he actually likes teh ladies. Nothing wrong with that.
What is the proper David : Goliath ratio?
[re=492741]Neilist[/re]: A player.
We all loved him in ’08.
[re=492878]gurukalehuru[/re]: Bullshit. Though, to this day, I want to kick Bob Corker in his little cranberries, I always thought Ford was a self-righteous hypocrite, whose voting record was little different than that of a Northern Republican. The smug tone he took with other Democrats, and his trolling around the media to do it, really turned my stomach.
He’s a Grade A cad and asshole, and surprisingly, I think Gillibrand may be slightly less conservative.
BTW, I’d like Senator Reid’s take on Harold Ford’s candidacy. As a light-skinned African American who speaks sans Negro dialect, Searchlight Harry must be all over this guy. Also.
Alas, he is married to a white woman. He better keep that little tidbit of information in the closest when he travels Upstate.
More Adams than Eves.
[re=492879]LowerdPeninsula[/re]: Wasn’t there a whole theory/story that he was going to show how Democrats could win in the border states as long as they could be conservative and “speak the language of faith”. Then of course he lost, mostly because the RNC ran ads of some white woman with bare shoulders (what a slut) going “call me”.
Or maybe that was someone else or I’m having an acid flashback.
Anyway now Ford wants to show that a conservative can win in NY as long as he speaks the “language of hypocrisy” . Interesting theory. Don’t think it will work.
[re=492737]mcc[/re]: Exactly.
Not a better idea.
[re=492746]chascates[/re]: That will never get you elected in Hymietown.
When I knew less about him and just saw him as a handsome talking head, I liked him much more.
[re=492778]rocktonsammy[/re]:
So what you’re sayin’ then is there is a chance, he is David?
I call theft–Ford stole this pose from the Hopey picture that artiste drew from an AP photo that Obama stole to cover up his Kenyan roots. it’s FRAUD. Where’s the birf certificate?
I don’t care how light-skinned or un-accented a Negro he is, I just want his big black dick. Also.
[re=492879]LowerdPeninsula[/re]: [re=492884]x111e7thst[/re]: I don’t think you guys understand, but there’s actually been a huge populist rush to find someone, anyone more conservative than Kristen Girlie Brand, that notorious anti gay, pro gun, pro killing gays with guns (it’s like a shotgun gay wedding, she said) liberal, LIBERAL I tell you.
Why, Harold Ford didn’t even want to move to New York, but the whole tea party thing actually started in LES coffee shops and Queens bodegas (little known fact), just so that we could get this guy as senator. (But back then it was Hillary who was the big bad liberal)
