On Monday night, Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown sparred for an hour over health care, taxes, terrorism, abortion, and the death penalty.

He said Eastern Europe, then went on to list some of the countries, including Poland. So to that extent you're both correct...and Ford was MASSIVELY wrong.
