Ass Clown of the Day: John Ford
Another crooked politician goes down for the count.
Tennessee State Senator John Ford (D-Memphis) was all kinds of bad news. Judging by his record he went to the Boss Hogg Upstairs School of Ethics College:
During his tenure in the state Senate, John Ford has lost paternity lawsuits, given a political job to a girlfriend, used campaign money for his daughter's wedding and been successfully sued for sexual harassment.
Republican Senate leader Ron Ramsey said the Ethics Committee he chairs was getting ready to file a six-count charge against Ford for violating Senate rules stemming from a separate investigation into allegations he was paid by a consulting company with financial ties to the state's Medicaid program.
And this was the kind of person Memphibians wanted representing them? Southern politics are crazy.
Check out this description of Boss Hogg. Quite funny.

Who the fuck do you think you are branding people "idiots of the day" or "ass clown of the day"? Your real name is nowhere on the site (you loser GOP coward), yet you take it upon yourself to drag other people's names (not all of them elected officials) through the mud daily, just because you have an anonymous sopbox/gay blog (and a lot of free time, apparently).
The amount of bad karma you are currently racking up on this site at an alarming pace will come back to haunt you.

Oh my, oh my… It seems ‘rummymartin’ hates free speech, anonymity and The Gays. Let me review:
Rummymartin wrote ##’Who the fuck do you think you are branding people "idiots of the day" or "ass clown of the day"?’## I’ve never understood this question, perhaps rummymartin should rephrase it. Rummy’s question seems to indicate that Thaa Rev should have some kind of license to have an opinion.
Rummymartin wrote ##Your real name is nowhere on the site (you loser GOP coward)## Now, I’ve blogged on this before: when dealing with the internet, why would anyone be upset if I do or do not use my real name? Odd. To phrase it alternatively, I could make up any persona I wish and post it as my profile, but this would be meaningless. The stuff to pay attention to is what is written, not who wrote it. Argue the argument, not the arguer. Did rummy address any of Thaa Rev’s comments in his blog about John Ford? No? Bad rummymartin!
Rummymartin wrote ##just because you have an anonymous sopbox/gay blog (and a lot of free time, apparently).## By resorting to name calling rummymartin has let the reader know he dislikes the anonymous and the gays. Rummymartin, why did you call Thaa Rev’s blog gay? Do you think being gay is bad? Do you hate gay people rummymartin? Please write your name and address so we can know who you really are, and perhaps we can sit down and have a cup of coffee and discuss why being gay is so bad.

##Who the fuck do you think you are branding people "idiots of the day" or "ass clown of the day"?##
Who do I have to be? I'm a sentient being. I have object permanence and I'm a tool user. I manipulate and interact with my environment. I have a large frontal lobe. I am able to abstract, compare and contrast, decompose and analyze, and most of all, I'm not afraid to judge and be judged.
In fact, I come from a long line of people who used reason and made judgments all their lives. That I am here is proof positive that they made good judgments (that is, ones that didn't kill them) up until they were able to procreate and pass on their decision-making potential to others.
##Your real name is nowhere on the site##
I sign my comments with my name.
##(you loser GOP coward),##
I'm more of a Libertarian, as in, the dues-paying, card-carrying kind. But given the choice between an ass-kicker like GW Bush who won't piss himself when it comes time to kill a bunch of terrorists and the clowns the LP passes off as candidates...I have to go with the GOP.
##yet you take it upon yourself to drag other people's names (not all of them elected officials) through the mud daily, just because you have an anonymous sopbox##
I have a highly developed assclown/idiot sense about me. It's tingling as I write.
##gay blog##
Gay blog? I don't know what that means.
##(and a lot of free time, apparently).##
Not as much as I'd like, but I'm pretty succinct and efficient with my words, so it doesn't take an inordinate amount of time for me to point out the idiots and assclowns.
Sometimes I don't even have to go looking for them. They just come riiiiight to me.
