Video: Harold Ford, Sean Penn on Maher's Real Time

Fox Democrat Harold Ford Ventures Into Liberal Country -- and Sean Penn shares his thoughts about what should happen to Tenet, Bush, Cheney, Rice, etcetera.

Harold Ford Jr., Sean Penn, Gary Schandling on Bill Maher's Real Time --


I'll give Harold Ford points for appearing on Real Time, but I wonder if he knew what he was getting into, or if he ever actually watched the show. Still, he had a much easier time here than he did on Josh Marshall's blog.

Harold "I Am Not a Liberal" Ford was definitely out of his element. At times, he appeared stiff and uncomfortable. The Bill Maher show is hardly the format for spouting well rehearsed talking points, but that didn't stop Ford. But then again, he did venture into liberal country again -- if he keeps that up he might get bitten by the liberal bug. And if he wasn't so eloquent, well, it may be hard for most anyone to wax eloquent when they're sitting next to Sean Penn.

See the other five videos comprising the May 4 Real Time Show. (Number 1 spoofs the GOP debate and more, Number 3 features more Ford, the one here is Number 4.)
