Tennessee Waltz

Talk about bad timing. Rep. Harold Ford (aka media darling) announces his intention to run for the senate seat being vacated by Bill Frist next year. The next day his uncle (John Ford) who is a Tennessee state senator gets arrested in an FBI sting and in the process threatens to kill an undercover FBI agent. At least they demonstrated bi-partisanship by including one Republican in their crimes.

VOLuntarily Conservative is on the scene and gives some good background info.

Back in January, I posted this about some other shenanigans of John Ford. Right or wrong this is going to reflect on Harold. You use family connections to climb the political ladder it can come back to haunt you later.
