John Ford, infamous uncle of Senate candidate Harold Ford, Jr., has finally been convicted of something. This time he managed to dodge all but one count.
There are plans for an appeal of course, but he's also under the gun for, "..unrelated charges in Nashville of wire fraud and concealing material facts stemming from his consulting business." Longtime watchers of the Ford family would not be surprised to see him wiggle off the hook yet again.
Regardless of any jail sentence one thing Operation Tennessee Waltz accomplished was to get him out of State Government, at least for awhile. No longer will there be a need for his 100 mph jaunts along Interstate 40 coming home from session, flashing his lights at other drivers or waving his gun at truckers.
Here's some reaction from Memphis citizens.
