[brooklynite]

Source: Talking Points Memo

RNC Chair Michael Steele and Ex-Dem Rep. and potential NY-Sen candidate Harold Ford Jr. will share the stage Thursday evening at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock to "discuss America's future direction."

The event, dubbed "Left, Right, and Forward: On the Future of America" will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday night. According to the school, "the discussion by the two African-American political combatants kicks off UALR's annual Black History Month program."

"As prominent leaders representing both sides of the political spectrum, Harold Ford Jr. and Michael Steele will engage the audience in the most hot-button issues that will shape our nation's future," said Jan Austin, director of the school's Office of Campus Life, in a statement. "Anyone with an interest in politics and in the future of the country will want to attend."

Ya know, I've gotta call them evenly matched...

[valerief]

1. Ah, a Republican debate, I see. nt

[babylonsister]

2. Future of the country?

:rofl:

Might be fun for comic value from Steele. Does Ford HAVE a personality?

[420inTN]

16. Yes, Ford does have a personality.

And, unlike his POS father, he does have a shred of integrity and credibility.

I've met Harold Jr on a number of occasions, and he is a nice guy.

[babylonsister]

17. No, he's a POS. Have you seen him on morning schmo? He's a

wishy-washy Dem at best. He's a nice guy, but he reminds me of McCain. There's not a situation he can get behind he wouldn't change if it would benefit him. I'm so tired of that.

[billybob537]

3. I wish they'd just

get a room I can't bare to watch.

[MadMaddie]

4. I have few choice words to describe this exchange but I won't

do it because it could offend many people. That's all!

[groundloop]

5. "Prominent Leaders" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I sure hope Kieth or Rachel can get some video of this, it ought to be good.

[jaysunb]

6. I can't stop laughing !

:rofl:

Thanks. I needed that.

:rofl:

[mitchtv]

7. + 1

tweedle dumb meet Tweedle Dumber

8. "...representing both sides of the political spectrum...."

:rofl:

This isn't even good political theater.

[Hawkeye-X]

9. It's like left hand debating the right hand

on which hand to masturbate with.

OH NOES! I HAVE DONE IT!

[kwassa]

10. Aren't they the same person?

[rurallib]

11. No doubt the Gillibrand campaign is ecstatic

Smart move Ford.

[GrantDem]

12. I doubt there will be much debating.

However, there will probably be a whole lot of agreeing.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

13. We can do a drinking game to the amount of times they say "I agree."

[pmorlan1]

14. LOL

Left, right and forward? LOL

[totodeinhere]

15. They'll call it the pot meet kettle debate. n/t

[opihimoimoi]

18. Photo Op, debate Op, BS Op...they just don't get it....all they do is fool us

in order to RULE us

[No Elephants]

19. This is CREEPY!. Why in heck is Ford, who wants to be a Senator, debating Steele?

Gillebrand, some NY Republican--I could understand. But Steele? Ford just took a leave of absence of 30 days from his job, so he could focus on his Senatorial campaign--and this is how he is spending his time?

And if Steele is debating on behalf of the RNC, why is his debate partner not Kaine, head of the DNC? Why is it Ford, head of the DLC?

RNC v. DLC, not RNC v. DNC?

Is Ford (or someone) trying to give the impression that the DLC IS the Democratic Party now?

Fastern your seatbelts. PNAC, here we all come, I guess.

:puke:

[classysassy]

20. Harold Ford the black Joe Lieberman

yo harold you and your fellow travelar can shuffle on to the stage and do your tom thang.(two toms)

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Why not have

Ford, Steele, Armstrong Williams, and Juan Williams and then have a real lunatic fringe circus show? :rofl:

This nonsense is "Rightwing, Rightwing, and Backwards"!

[Blue Owl]

22. and I can just imagine the softballs they'll be lobbed

We can count on these two mofos to do their best to dumb down the dialogue with their phoned-in talking points and rightward-leaning spin.

:puke:
