Australia 'a nuclear threat' (says Senate nominee Harold Ford, Jr.)
The Australian ^ | October 28, 2006 | Geoff Elliott

Posted on 10/28/2006 9:38:13 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

HAROLD Ford, a handsome 36-year-old from Tennessee, has become one of the sensations of the mid-term elections in the US and a reason why Democrats are a good chance of winning back control of the US Congress for the first time in 12 years.

But if Mr Ford, already a US congressman, wins his bid to become a more powerful senator, Australia had better watch out.

Because according to Mr Ford, Australia has an interest in nuclear weapons and is part of the broader nuclear threat to the US.

I hope this gets at least as much attention as that goofy ad featuring the fictional Playboy bunny.

That ad has already done whatever it's gonna do and has already been retired. It had Chris Matthews nearly bawling on the wrap-up of his show today on broadcast TV. He looked like the "bawling baby" picture people keep putting up on FR as the mascot of the cry-baby Demonicrats! Too Funny!!!

I think Ford wants to see a James Bond film staged in Australia. It's been rumored several times but it's never happened...

What a shame; Aussies are a damn fine lot. In my personal experience, they are hard working and fun loving folks. Jolly genuine group of folks.

Ford will be on Fox news Sunday. Chris Wallace should ask him about creating an ionternational incident through his ignorance.

Agreed, he has all the qualifications for a Democrat United States Senator.

You are absolutely right on all three points. I don't consider Australia a threat, any more than I consider Japan a threat. The difference between Japan, or Australia to say Iran or North Korea is, nobody is able to inspect just what the hell is really going on in Iran or North Korea.

Please ignore Ford, he's an idiot and doesn't know what he's talking about.

Even if he did mean to say Austria, he's still a moron. Austria is one of our strongest European allies today.

This guy Ford is such an embarrasment, wonder why Coulter likes him.

It is one of the cases where Coulter let her hormones rather than sensible thinking determine her opinion.

You mean to say Larry Kudlow is going to have to removed his nose from Ford, Jr.s posterior?

To put a Corker in it, that's one of the most stupid statements I've ever heard from a US Senate candidate. I would love to see the Aussies go nuclear. Did Harold Ford misspeak? It boggles the mind if what he said was true.
