A Democrat, convicted and sentenced? There must be some mistake, oh, it’s AP. I’ll need a couple of more sources.

Gee, no mention of political affiliation.

Glad you also noticed that the AP left out his party affiliation. This is a standard practice of AP, to either leave out the party affiliation if someone is a Democrat, or bury it so deep in the story that you need oxygen to read it.
AP - Always Propaganda, Always Partisan

Not just any dem....but a vaunted FORD family member, who usually wear more teflon than slick willie, and BHO combined here in Memphis, TN. This is FORMER US rep harold ford, JR, uncle...his dad beat the system when he got caught with fingers in the cookie jar.

That would be "Uncle", not "Daddy".
Harold Ford's daddy is Harold Ford, Sr. In 1993, he was aquitted of 18 counts of conspiracy, bank fraud, and mail fraud. It was his second trial, the first, in 1990, having ended in a hung jury (8 to 4 for aquittal).
