RebScam Update: Harold Ford Jr.'s Uncle Has, Um, A Colorful Past
...to say the least:
Controversy: In October 1990, Ford was charged with shooting at a trucker on Interstate 40 near Lexington. He was indicted and pleaded not guilty.
Outcome: In a jury trial the next year, he was acquitted.
I'd like more facts about that. Was it a case of mistaken identity, or did he claim he was shooting at a grouse or something that had landed on the truck? It sort of makes a difference.
Also, the one Republican state rep so far named in the scandal turns out to be one of those Republicans that jumps at the orders of the Democratic Speaker of the House.
Just sayin'.
Thanks to Matthew.
