Listening to the fawning way he describes Paul Ryan is not shocking, given what and who Ford really is.
According to him, Ryan is talented, good looking, not scary, and not tied to Akin.
Why is ford even on the air? Other than to blather his GOP talking points? Everyone else makes sense and speaks from knowledge. Not he

(102,378 posts)I would have to guess. He's an embarrassment. I love Clinton, but his "third way" DLC movement gave us DINOs like Ford. We may be a big tent party, but he doesn't represent any Democratic constituency.

(31,706 posts)Harold is always impressed with Harold and wants to hang with the "big boys". To do this he spews the "third way" shit than generally echoes right wing talking points. That's because he's too lazy to pick up a newspaper or stand up against the rich and powerful he so desperately wants to pal with.

(31,706 posts)I noticed that Harold is a supposed "MSNBC Contributor" but you only see him on Joey's treehouse and rarely on any other show. Not that I'm complaining...

(31,706 posts)I don't know what type of influence he peddles...other than hot air. I've followed Harold's career since he was that "bright new face" during the Clinton days...you can see he's jealous of President Obama who got where he wanted to be. Yep...he's owned but sure does a piss pour job in selling.

(6,996 posts)He did the same thing when he was a regular on the old Imus program. But here everyone on the panel slapped him down.
He ended up looking stupid, craven and pathetic.
