FYI
H.F. is a corrupt Democrat, but his rider is remarkable only because it makes absolutely no unrerasonable requests.
He just want’s his initials used on a sign for when he is picked up and that he’s allergic to shellfish.
It’s actually the opposite. There wouldn’t be any big crowds even if people know the who/where/when, in fact if people knew they would flee and that would guarantee embarrassment the absence of adoring throngs. So he needs a subterfuge to explain the absence of crowds, hence, the secret back escape door, or - this is really clever (who thought this up?) - the limo sign saying “HF” instead of “Harold Ford”. (”Well of course there were no crowds there, I snuck out a secret back entrance to a limo inconspicuously yet cleverly marked as HF”)
Kidding aside, I would love to see Harry Ford jump into the fray. If he’s in, then Cuomo takes on Patterson. With a Ford-Cuomo alliance taking on Schumer’s Patterson-Gillibrand minions, Schmuck will have as many as 5 campaigns to finance - 2 primaries (Gillibrand and Patterson) and up to 3 elections (Gov and 2 Senators). That will drain his war chest pretty quick, especially in a big expensive state like NY. If there is a nasty internecine feud in NY-Dumland, I can see a Pataki or maybe even Giuliani jumping in, maybe even Kudlow. This could be a very interesting year in NY politics, and a NY Senate seat is not out of the question for the GOP.
Mind you, Harold Ford says really stupid things, like the kind of things that should disqualify and expel him as a candidate, almost like he is being forced to run against his will and is trying to sabotage his own campaign. Was he this stupid in Tennessee?
.
How about a sign that reads
"Harold ... CALL ME!!!"
Yet another phony two-bit politician...certain to be elected in New Yawk. They deserve each other.
HF, eh? That’s hydrofluoric acid. The most caustic substance on earth.
I do not want another carpetbagger to be my rep, esp. a dem!
OBAMIE II?
