Ophelia Ford Taken to Hospital

Fox 13 - Memphis ^ | 8/3/7

[SmithL]

For the second time in a handful of months, State Senator Ophelia Ford was transported to the hospital after calling 911. The fire department confirmed they transported a patient to Methodist Central following complaints she was having trouble breathing. A neighbor confirmed to FOX13 that it was, in fact, Ford who was taken.

That's the whole story.

There's a little more from the Tennessean: State Sen. Ophelia Ford taken to hospital

Smoking too much crack?

[YellowRoseofTx]

Isn’t she the same one that did the same thing just a few months ago?

[oyez]

If Ford is so sick she should resign or find some kind of interim replacement. Her district is being deprived of representation. That aught to be a crime.

If Ford didn't attend a single senatorial session between now and the next election, I'm sure they will find a way for her to be reelected.

Smoking too much crack?

Something much stronger and more addictive than crack: power.

[Kimmers]

Sad but true....once the Dems are in power they do not want to give it up, after all it is not about what is good for the country but only the power...... Ask not what is good for the country but what's in it for me......

That the voters of Memphis actually re-voted to confirm her election...

If they wanted an embarrassment they got what they wished for.

Memphis and Shelby County - move on beyond the Ford family! Their primary business is death (funeral homes). Even they can’t agree on that as the biz is competitively split between two branches of their own family.

"Watch your comment punk! I'm keeping a list and will not hesitate over exaggerating your quote!"

[cpanter]

Probably “low on blood” again.

The results of 10 year old Bourbon!

Is there a Ford in Memphis politics that is neither corrupt, a drunk or a thief?

What’s it going to take to get them out of politics in Tennessee - a roto rooter?

[oyez]

There are many qualified blacks that could do a magnificent job in her place, but their politics arn’t right so they don’t have much of a chance.

[BenLurkin]

Does O’Riley smoke crack?

"THATS IT!! Your now on the list because I'm looking out.....FOR YOU!"

Auntie Ophelia is in the news again. Hopefully, she will get well.

[fieldmarshaldj]

For a moment there, I thought that read, “Hopefully, she will fall down a well.”

[NewRomeTacitus]

This is why you get coals and ashes in your Christmas stocking. That and your talent for political analysis; which makes many of us a bit lazy knowing you’re there doing a much better job of it.

Seriously though, thanks for the great work. I’ve never seen any individual able to cut through a subject as purposely dense as politics and put together a report cutting through the BS as fast and as accurately as you do. It’s truly amazing. Take a night off in celebration for the service you’ve done for this state...you deserve it!

Every time I hear news about her, I picture "Mother Jefferson" from the TV series.

She was the funniest person on the show and never minced any words.

Argh, that’s terrible to compare the wonderful Zara Cully, a distinguished character actress, who brought joy to many millions, with a sorry old harridan race-baiting lush !
