Maybe she was “exhausted and dehydrated”.

Follow-up to yesterday's thread: Sen. Ford unleashes off-topic rant

Is it time for an Apology and Rehab?

[leadpenny]

Is there no photo of this gentle lady?

[edcoil]

The was an episode from HOUSE.

I assume you mean from the four folks she reamed out? Ms. Ford has no need to apologize as she is from a downtrodden area and it is the fault of all those “other” (re:whites) people that her area is so poor and the people are so uneducated.(they have to be dumb to keep voting her into office!)

[leadpenny]

Poor thing. She’s got that thousand yard stare.

[Malacoda]

Otherwise known as “The Kennedy Ailment.”

“Sen. Beverly Marrero, another Memphis Democrat, said she’s noticed that Ford has lost a lot of weight.”

Sounds like weight is not all she has lost. I wonder if they had carried her out in a straight jacket might have been more proper.

As with the other Fords in Memphis, the Tennessee Highway Patrol probably has to make an effort to keep the drug dogs away from her or else they would be uncontrollable.

Ophelia was taken to the hospital by ambulance after her incoherent tirade.

[Coldwater Creek]

Sounds like cancer to me!

But Ford pressed DCS officials about death certificates and other matters that seemed irrelevant to the hearing, even though they repeatedly told her the agency has nothing to do with death certificates.

"What you're talking about ain't hitting on nothing with me as a certified funeral service practitioner. What you're saying ain't hitting on nothing! And you guys need to get better and you need to get more educated," Ford said angrily.

"And so what you're saying to me is absolutely dumb! Excuse my expression, but it is. It doesn't even make sense to me with all the children we're burying. And we've got one of the largest funeral homes in Tennessee, probably in the country."

Looks like the looney farm has a new prospect. I hope she can recover, I don't wish that on anyone, Liberal or Conservative.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Nothing but decaf from now on, I promise.

Sadly, those who are not from west Tennessee, have little
idea how corrupt and crooked this family is, and it goes back over 60 years.
Harold Jr. was to be the shinning star for the Dims, but he
is just as arrogant as the rest of this bed of thieves.

Their power comes only from a predominate black voter base
and support from corrupt business leaders and real estate developers who buy them off.

Maybe she was drunk out of her mind. Maybe she was out of her mind.

[fieldmarshaldj]

That photo is doctored. She looks human in it. This is closer to what she looks like...

"She's tiny, obviously she's not eating right," said Marrero, D-Memphis."

Gee, Bev, maybe because all she's eating comes in a bottle.

[L,TOWM]

Ophelia was simply following in her namesake’s footsteps...

“that a youth’s wits may be as mortal as an old man’s life...”
