Democratic Family Values

Some Democrats merely talk about taking care of families, but some of them actually got to the mat on the issue (annoying registration required):

Some days, Ford said, he lives with ex-wife Tamara Mitchell-Ford and the three children they had together. On others, he stays with his longtime girlfriend, Connie Mathews, and their two children.

This, despite a raucous 2002 divorce that led to Mitchell-Ford's jailing after she plowed her Jaguar through the French doors of Mathews's Collierville home.

Ford said he pays nearly all bills for both families. They stay in houses he owns and where he also lives.

But, then again, there is a limit - Mr. Ford is fighting the efforts of a third woman to gain additional support for the child he fathered with her.

Mr. Ford, D-Memphis, represents District 29 in the Tennessee Senate.

In donk-speak, this is called "civilized".

Did you know that Senator Ford is also using a law that he wrote in order to limit the amount of money he pays out to the other woman? Convenient huh?
