There’s always the gigolo gig to fall back on. I hear he likes teh white wimmins.

This guy really just could not be a bigger asshole. If I lived in NY, I would vote for Rick Lazio before I would vote for him.

Okay, I had an elaborate and mildly-humourous Chris Matthews reference in response to this, but I’m going to just call Harold Ford a douchebag instead. I’m tired and need another cup of mate before I can do better.

Ambition is better served when you stop wearing it on your forehead.

After I read the title of his book again, it sounds really really dirty.

[re=504131]rafflesinc[/re]: EWWWWWWWWWW!

He experiences the struggles of the wealthy, the middle class, and the poor simultaneously. He can make racism go away, just by ignoring it. He once took a helicopter to Staten Island just to say he’d been there. He panders to your opinion even before you know what it is. Every time a sports team wins, he is in the owners box.

He is…the most vulgar man in the world.

I thought politicians were supposed to hide how much of an asshole they are?

[re=504140]Crank Tango[/re]: They may be able to hide some things, but assholery is not one. Ask Scott Brown,

They have to shut those people up who have a megaphone or microphone. They must shut them down. This is why I’m begging you: Please, please — I’ve said this now for how many years? From the bottom of my heart, I say this to you. Please, there may come a time when there are no people speaking out in the media. There may come that time. That’s why you must do you homework now. You cannot waste another minute. Doing your homework, knowing history, knowing the news, following — knowing what the Constitution says. There may be a time when you are the leader .You’re the only voice that people will hear. Please, I beg of you, I beg of you: Pick the torch up, because there may come a time where you are the keeper of the flame, and if you do not pick up that flame when it is handed to you, if you don’t pick that torch up, it will go out.

So…Kirsten Gillibrand is sponsoring his campaign, right? Because wow, how awesome does she look compared to him?

[re=504137]doxastic[/re]: Well done.

Psssst, Harold. Don’t call me.

[re=504135]house of the blue lights[/re]: He’s just noting that there’s more normal-sized guys in the world than giants. Which is true, but obvious at not particularly noteworthy.

[re=504149]JadedDIssonance[/re]: Starting the drinking early today?

[re=504164]JMP[/re]: word for word, it’s what Beck said after the SOTU. Made me want to start drinking.

Hmm. Harold’s male prostitutes must’ve finally quit taking his IOUs.

[re=504125]Brendan M.[/re]: what like, Ford sounded like such an oblivious and entitled rich-kid douche in that quote that I forgot he was black for 30 seconds, while my brain-exploded.

Got one word for you, poor black HFJ: hobo beans.

More Abes than Benjamins is a heartbreaking work of staggering arrogance.

In a way, he’s as smarmy as Schumer. The two of them would be like a whimsical painted porcelain pair of salt and pepper shakers in a vintage collectable store, in the Senate.

How can the title of that book mean anything other than “I prefer a small dick in my ass”?

This guy should be FIRED from Merrill for taking a leave of absence because he’s not working. It is unconscionable to have a conscience at Merrill Lynch.
