WOW! I never saw THAT coming.

[SmithL]

And don’t forget the apology.

It has to be Rehab and an apology, or it doesn’t count.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Senate Democratic Leader Jim Kyle said Wednesday that Ford's continued presence is "crucial" to the outcome of several issues.

Sounds like he's ready to install a keg at senate sessions to keep her vote there.

There should be a special rehab for liberal politicians with drinking or drug problems. It could be an outpatient facility, called Ego Te Absolvem.

But she wasn’t drunk she is anemic, and that is why she fell off a stool in the BAR. lol

[Zakeet]

When I read your headline about "family wants senator in rehab," I first thought it was
referring to someone else.

You have to admit, it was an honest mistake.

I tell ya, our TN Fords are an endless source of entertainment ain’t they? The hits just keep on comin’!

[dynachrome]

“low blood.”
True. It had been replaced by alcohol!

There is: "Room 101"

I don’t know, but it looks to me like rehab centers are just a fancy name for hideouts for democrats. And celebrities. Why does being “in rehab” stop all prosecution of these people?

"I've come to the conclusion that there's a problem. Whether it's drugs, alcohol or anemia, there needs to be rehab," he said Wednesday afternoon.

Who goes to rehab for anemia?

[LantzALot]

The law requires the General Assembly to periodically "renew" state entities -- or they go out of existence.

Continuous review. What a concept!

[SmithL]

Geritol?

[Tokra]

Ophelia Ford's family constituents wants senator in rehab mental institution.

But she wasn't drunk she is anemic, and that is why she fell off a stool in the BAR. lol

She didn't have enough iron in her blood to hold her body up, and that*s why she fell off the bar stool. LOL

[LantzALot]

Her brother is a County Commissioner. She has fulfilled her "lifelong ambition" to hold office. Rarely does any public benefit come from politics as a family business; it often means that public offices are filled by incompetents -- or worse. Just think of the Kennedys, Gores, Clintons, etc.; and yes, the libs like to say the same about the Bushes.

The family's present concern smacks more of damage control than of consideration for the voters or her district.

[Grammy]

Please please please please please, don't let this woman drive home.

[Coldwater Creek]

I guess that Joe got “knowledged”. HAHAHAHHA

The Ford’s keep us in stitch's in Memphis.

[Coldwater Creek]

Could have been the gal from Calif. as well. Migden, I think her name is. Same story almost word for work, except she was running over people on the freeway.

[GailA]

Kyle is a dumba$$, she hasn’t spent more than 7-10 days in the senate the whole session.
