Why must I endure Harold Ford Jr (D-Milquetoast)?

[Bad Thoughts]

He's been out of politics for six years.

On MJ, he's to the right of Michael Steele.

There seems to be no point he's unwilling to concede. I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks that Obama should produced his "Kenyan birth certificate" just because it's what the other side wants.

I have no use for him. I don't know why he's supposed to represent Democrats on the morning news when he doesn't seem to understand what Democrats want to accomplish.

And after Deval Patrick's speech, he's more spineless than ever.

1. I have it on mute until Eugene Robinson comes on. He's a treasure. Harold Ford is a dunce/RW shill

2. uh, you don't have to.

ridiculous. All you have to do is pick up the remote and voila, no more Ford no more Steele.

Hearing people complain about Morning Joe always amuses me.

8. yep - there are a couple that post complaints daily

amazing - this show still has the best line-up of guests of all morning shows

I am astounded that there are those here who see no benefit in hearing what the other side has to say.

9. I'm not complaining about MJ

Scar and Mika can ask people to "join the conversation" all they want. Nonetheless, they bring on many of the more interesting columnists in the morning before I can dedicate time to what has been written.

Ford Jr. is just a tool, produces nothing of intellectual worth, and after the speeches last night, he still can't hold his head high as a Democrat.

3. Not very informative...eom

4. Sorry, here's what irks me

This morning he has basically said that Obama has made no effort to communicate with Congressional Republicans and he would have to change radically should he have a second term. Basically, he conceded a convoluted GOP talking point.

5. Harold Ford, Jr. turns my stomach. He's nothing but a bankster.

6. He does not represent Democrats. /nt

7. Maybe because he was captain of the mothership of Dems Loving Corporations n/t
