Yesterday Tennessee Republican US Senate candidate Bob Corker spoke with Sean Hannity about the latest controversies with one of his opponents, Harold Ford Junior.

First they discussed the “Memphis Meltdown”, where Ford crashed a Corker presser. Corker said Ford is a “nice young man”, but maybe Ford does not have the demeanor, comportment or state men’s like ability people want to see in the US Senate.

I have to agree. Because when you’re a Congressman running for Senate and out in public hitting a Playboy party, you’re just not showing the level of maturity expected of a US Senator.

Imagine a US Senator looking like this!

Corker mentioned that Ford has received 70% of his campaign money from outside of the state!!!

Later in the interview, Hannity told Corker that Ford Sr. was using the word “cracker” when referring to a Corker supporter. Mr. Corker said he never heard the audio of Ford Sr. possibly using the word “cracker”. Hannity is saying that Ford Sr. said “cracker”. I’m sticking with my retraction of that one. Because after hearing it more times, I’m not sure if he said “cracker” or “tracker”. So I’ll have to default to the position of accepting that he said “tracker”.

After playing the clip for Corker twice and asking him to comment, after some laughs Corker said:

Obviously it’s inappropriate kind of language.

Again I’ll say, I don’t like Ford or Corker, although Corker is slightly better than Ford. I’m voting for Emory “Bo” Heyward, who is also on the ballot.
