Congressman Ford Doesn't Read Cosmo


Well, that's what Harold Ford's (D-Tenn) chief of staff Robert Sepulcha says.

I've been meaning to pick up a copy of Cosmo to see what Ford's ex-girlfriend has to say about him in her tell-all column. But Roll Call (subscription) beat me to it.

Julia Allison Baugher says she realized that the Congressman - who is running for Bill Frist's senate seat - was "no longer Mr. Right" when she discovered that he can't ski.

"Not sort of couldn't ski, but god-awful, I-hope-he-doesn't-break-his leg couldn't ski."

As if that's not bad enough, Congressman Ford "got the Kuwaiti ambassador's name wrong."

When Roll Call contacted Ford's chief of staff for a response, Robert Sepulcha responded: "The congressman is not in the habit of reading Cosmopolitan." [Via Knox News Sentinel ]

So, Harold Ford is not a Cosmo fan, not a skier, and as the blogger at The Ford Report keeps telling us, the Democrat is also not a liberal.

It's very hard to understand what she ever saw in him.
