Harold Ford's Girlfriend

When the Republican National Committee ran this ad about Tennessee Senate candidate Harold Ford (D), the usual suspects started shouting "racism" because the ad featured a blonde bimbo type saying she met Ford at a Playboy Party.

It's time to correct the record. There is no evidence "Pretty Boy" Ford, who is black, ever dated a blonde bimbo. He DID however date a young college-age girl named Julia Allison, who is a brunette. Pictured at right is Ford with Julia on a skiing trip.

Julia writes about her experience with Ford here.

The bottom line? He's a douchebag, but as Julia says " Harold's no more douchebaggy or less douchebaggy than any of the others. I make an exception for Barack Obama, whom I worship slightly (how original, I know)."

Apparently she has a thing for light skinned black politicians. Fine by me. But no racism in the ad. But making such inflammatory charges sure does help to take the attention off the bulk of the ad which described Ford's approach to taxes and national security.

Oh, and if you would like to know what kind of girls Ford likes, take a look at Julia's "Slutoween" post where she describes her costume "Trojan Magnum XL costume, CONDOM FAIRY."
