Harold Ford, Jr. turned up univited at a Bob Corker press conference at a private airstrip in Memphis this morning. WMCT had their cameras there:
Harold Ford Jr. showed up uninvited at a campaign event for rival Republican Bob Corker at a private charter airstrip in Memphis this morning. Corker had scheduled the media event earlier this week.
News reporters were surprised when Ford's tour bus pulled up at the event and, apparently staff at Wilson Air were surprised as well, as they tried to steer media inside the property for the Corker news conference.Corker instead, opted to come out and talk with Ford directly while the cameras were rolling. What followed was a tense confrontation between the two, caught on tape!
Read the rest and watch the video at the link above. The video player comes up when you click the little camera box at the top left of the story, just under the headline.
Very strange. Ford is either on something, or has mental problems. He claims he isn't there to disrupt, rambles on about Corker ads, wants to talk about his plan to ensure civil war in Iraq, halfway accuses Corker of "talking about [his] family" (the well-known Tennessee criminals), seems generally nervous and jerky.
Maybe he gets his meth from Claire McCaskill?
UPDATE 1:19 a.m.: I am told there may be sporadic outages at the link due to increased traffic at the station's site. The report is also up at YouTube, however.

Maybe he (Ford) got hold of... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Scrapiron | October 20, 2006 6:20 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Maybe he (Ford) got hold of some of the poison drugs floating around the United States that has killed several hundred people, over two hundred in Cook County and around Chicago in the past year. (WHY HAVEN'T WE HEARD ABOUT THIS ON A DAILY BASIS INSTEAD OF IRAQ?) He's probably been on them so long he was immune to the poison. His family may be the dealers since they've been mixed up every type of criminal activity for years.

Ford also made the mistake of showing up to FUNDRAISE for THE Lebanon Democrat who tried to jam A STATE INCOME TAX down Tennesseans throats!
THAT alone will cost FORD dearly...
Plus the Boro's own straw poll who is dead on every election had Corker winning decently.
sadly the marriage amendment failed per the straw poll. we have to have majority plus one. Doesn't look hopeful.

Ford has a lock on it ??
Memphis has already had one Ford's election overturned by ballot box fraud ?? Is that Ford's lock on this election?
