Fecund lawmaker
A Tennessee state lawmaker who heads a committee on child welfare has acknowledged that he lives in separate homes with two women whose children he fathered.
Sen. John Ford testified in a Juvenile Court hearing in November as part of his defense in a child-support case over increasing his financial support of another child he fathered with a third woman, the Commercial Appeal newspaper of Memphis reported Sunday.
The Memphis Democrat has tried to make use of a law he authored that keeps court-ordered support lower when a father is financially responsible for other children.
Mr. Ford said he lives some days with ex-wife Tamara Mitchell-Ford and the three children they had together. On others, he said, he stays with his longtime girlfriend, Connie Mathews, and their two children.
A follow-up hearing is scheduled for today. Mr. Ford and Miss Mitchell-Ford went through a bitter divorce in 2002 that led to Miss Mitchell-Ford's jailing after she plowed her car through Miss Mathews' home.
Mr. Ford said he pays nearly all bills for both families. They stay in houses he owns and where he also lives, though neither home is in his south Memphis Senate district.
Mr. Ford is battling a lawsuit filed by Dana Smith, who is trying to increase his court-ordered support of their 10-year-old daughter. Miss Smith, a former employee under Mr. Ford, won a 1996 sexual-harassment verdict against him.

No double entendre there.
Did you notice that neither home he claims to live in is in his district? I believe that is actually an infraction.
Politcsnj.com has an amusing quote from Mr. Ford on their homepage. "I know some who got five" says he.
"another child he fathered with a third woman"
Um, this guy ever hear of condoms?
This man could teach us all a thing or two about family values. With three familys he has a lot of experience.
Just another Godless DEM.
"It's good to be Senator!" -(with apologies to Mel Brooks)
THis guy is a POS.
Anyone want to do the math here?
To quote my great uncle, "These people are a bunch of go@#amned animals...". As true now as it was in 1971.
Is he related to a Rep. Ford from Tenn. that they have on Fox and Friends alot?
And is this man any relation to Harold Ford the congressman? Aren't the Fords a big political family in the Memphis area?
Rep. Harold Ford's uncle, BTW. Next time Harold is on FOX he can tell us about "family values", I guess.
NO..and his ex-wife is 6 months preggers with his 4th child by her. This is the uncle of the media's darling, and some FReepers hopeful of turning to the GOP side...US rep harold ford JUNIOR...a LIBERAL/SOCIALIST who hasn't got the sexual morals of his uncle. Nor been caught with his fingers in the till yet. Who aspires to Sen Frist seat, then the governorships, then the White House.
"Ladies Man?"
Slimey is a better description
The males of this family are involved in some form of government from city, county to state, to federal level and are just as stupid and colorful. JUNIOR is the only one not to have the colorful past.
His claim to fame is FOOLING the media into believing he is a 'Moderate' by speaking softly and not getting exercised over a issue on tv!
