Junior could have ethics troubles of his own?
Congressman Harold Ford Jr. (D) of Tennessee who was recently “outed” at the number two traveler in the House paid for by special interests is afraid of reform. Blogging for Bryant noted the Christian Science Monitor on May 3rd reported on the story of the investigation of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and that the turmoil might be "also threatening to engulf other members of Congress, as opposition researchers for both parties plunge into member disclosure forms in search of lapses.”
The Monitor did retell a story that sounded eerily similar to Junior’s Uncle, State Senator John Ford:
“Congress has come a long way from the days when Sen. Daniel Webster penned an 1833 letter reminding banking interests that his "annual retainer" was due and important banking legislation was coming up in the US Senate.”
Junior was quoted in the article almost defending Tom Delay. "DeLay's ethics woes will have a chilling effect on congressional travel.”
Junior wants to have his travel and eat it too.

Congressman Davis has endorsed Harold Ford, its curious as to why this site wouldn't support their chosen candidate's wishes.
Is it possible this is a Republican run blog? sure sounds like it, I guess they would rather have Van Hilleary as Senator.
