You need to read about the race for his old seat. His GED toting brother lost the Democratic primary to a Jewish white guy, and is now running as an independant with help from daddy Ford. Fancy Ford will not support his own parties nominee for his seat, and instead is running around confronting Corker in parking lots. The Tenn press is picking up on this guys arrogance and even the politically correct press are getting tired of the Ford family antics. BTW, his uncle was indicted recently as well, so the family has a long history of corruption and this will haunt him more than the parking lot incident. Even his playing the race card when they bring up his families history is beginning to wear thin to most of the Tenn voters.
go to this irl for much more funny commentary on Fancy Ford and his family................
