| In what has got to be one of the longer episodes of foreplay on record, Harold Ford announced today that we won't be favored with an announcement of his purported Senate run until David Paterson stops hogging the limelight.
Playing hard to get, are we, Harold?
If we look back, that run began with the startling Times piece that first alerted a stunned world to this possibility on January 6th.
Then, The New York Times gave him a blow job on January 13th.
That prompted Gawker to create - curate? - the season's best headline: New York Times Allows Harold Ford to Destroy Himself.
Then, on February 6th, we learned that
I'm not comparing myself to Bobby Kennedy by any stretch, but he was opposed by the liberal establishment too," ... "Eleanor Roosevelt was the biggest opponent to him running"
Gack. Bad Eleanor. Oh wait, she was actually dead at the time. Still is, in fact.
And as of today, the newest word from Mr. Ford schedules the climactic moment, will he or won't he, for next week.
That's elastic enough to stretch into July at least, if he keeps this up. |
