Political chameleon and conserva-Dem Harold "Prince Hal" Ford is putting out statements that he's considering challenging New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the Dem primaries. Prince Hal had a snark-worthy interview published in the New York Times a few days ago, that showed him to be the privileged operator the transplanted Tennessean is. What NY team does he support? The one whose owner he's closest to. Been to all the boroughs in New York City? He's flown over all of them. Mingled with New Yorkers? He takes a limo to and from work -- sometimes MSNBC, sometimes Merrill Lynch, where he's a vice president. And he always has breakfast at the Regency on Park Avenue.
The superb and charismatic New York Rep. Anthony Weiner has a few great words on the subject of Prince Hal, who must think New York owes him a Senate seat. Better for Prince Hal to return to Tennessee, where he can pretend to be a Dem again.
