Because it's insulting to princesses mostly. Not because I feel bad or anything.
Anyway, unless you've been living under a rock, my favorite sexxxxy*, pretty, pretty ... um ... Shit. Now I need to think of a new nickname. Pretty Pretty NotPolitican? Pretty Pretty Pundit?
Yeah. That's better.
My favorite, sexxxxxxxy, Pretty Pretty Pundit, Harold Ford, Jr. punted on running for Senate in New York after everyone in the whole wide, wide world of sports told him it was a TERRIBLE idea.

And it's about Pretty, Pretty Princess Harold Ford Jr.! Something about how folks are bigots and he's a lousy politician, but the combination of being a lousy politico AND being in an interracial marriage probably won't help his case to become the next Senator from New York. Just sayin'!
In other random news about Pretty, Pretty Princess Ford and his run for NY Senate:
Karl Rove finds Harold "attractive." No matter how you put that it still sounds kind of gross because, dude, who wants whatever Karl Rove is crushing on? Who wants to BE whatever Karl Rove is crushing on?
Oh, and he's totally pro-reproductive rights and he LOVES the geighs now. Loves. Hearts, unicorns, rainbow sparkle ponies and everything. What? What are you all looking at? Seriously. He's down with the people who are into people who are the same gender as themselves. If you didn't know you better ask some gay body.
It looks like the rumors are all kinds of true. Rather than being some ploy for more press attention, Harold "Pretty Pretty Princess" Ford Jr. actually wants to be the next Senator from New York. Fabulous. This will give me countless excuses to write about him. And write Pretty Pretty Princess Ford and giggle ... among other things.
For the record, I think Harold is this amazing political hack who thinks he's better than he actually is. Re: He's kinda bland. John Edwards-style. Only without the blue collor bona fides, dying wife and out-of-wedlock child. He might have John's megalomania though. And yeah, he's good looking. But that sidepart? Not working for me.
Here in St. Louis University City School District canceled Sen. Claire McCaskill's healthcare forum after a congressman's forum on aging ended in fights and arrests. Here in this video clip from Harold Ford Jr.'s old district in Tennessee they had the bomb squad out and someone was escorted off the premises with a gun. Can you say U-G-L-Y? You ain't got no albi. It's getting ugly. Yeah, ugly.
Of course, it's all poops and grins until someone gets hurt (or arrested).
When you do it, Little Black Republican, you're a bastard. When Harold does it, everyone just rolls their eyes and goes "Oh, Harold."Say you're a politician -- a black politician -- and you want to get elected. Statistically it's easier to get elected if your run in an area with a lot of black people. You share some causes, some interests, so it makes sense. But there's this little thing that keeps getting in your way.

Former congressman, failed Tennessee senate candidate and giant pretty boy Harold Ford, Jr. (who The Snobenjoysplayfullymocking) said he would have voted for torturing terrorism suspects after 9/11 on MSNBC's Hardball which caused me to breathe out one of my patented "Oh, HAROLD!" sighs.
According to former Democratic representative Harold Ford, who now makes his living as a "centrist" pundit, maybe torture's not so bad. Here he is yesterday on MSBNC's Hardball: "I think if you ask the majority of Americans if they were opposed to the water boarding of some of these high-level terrorists or those who orchestrated terrorist attacks, I think you would be hard-pressed to find many Americans, many Democrats even, who would be that outraged by it."
(Reality check: Recentpolls show that, even in the absurd ticking time-bomb scenario, the public is at best evenly split on the issue. And I assure you many of us are more than outraged.)
I like how even though he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell over ever holding office in Tennessee again (he's currently over the Democratic Leadership Council), he still holding onto his Blue Dog/Red State bona fides.
