Not worry man! You'll be reelected again! Citizens are notorious for forgiving RATS and crucifying republicans. You'll be rewarded just like that dude Barry in DC! Don't worry be happy.....ugh!

Indictments are "resume enhancement" for Dems.

Ever notice that when a Democrat is in trouble the article doesn't mention he is a Democrat...or at least doesn't make it obvious?

When the person in trouble is a Republican, that fact is practically stated in the headline.

Grusin said Ford’s income was $360,000 last year, but since he’s run into ethics trouble in the Senate, his income "has been reduced drastically."

Quote of the year nominee.

He'll just steal the 20 grand someplace and hit the road.

This scumbag is already playing the race card, and he will probably play it up as hard he can .. but I don't see how he is going to weasel out of this one.

Andy Wise was there when the senator was released..the senator was given special treatment. He was picked up by one of their funeral home cars..which was parked in FRONT of the Federal Bldg..a home land security no, no. They are already infering the sting agents are liars.

Here's a run-down of Ford's previous run-ins with the law: Link

$20,000???

That's "walking around" money for that mobster.

[GAGOPSWEEPTOVICTORY]

Hmmm. A crooked Democrat and no mention of his party affiliation in the story. Typical liberal news media.

If it were a Republican, it would be John Ford (R-Memphis) was indicted for XYZ.
