Change of address: 100 Rehab Street.
State Sen. Ophelia’s Ford family plans to encourage her to enter rehab this weekend, according to her brother, Shelby County Commissioner Joe Ford.
“I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s a problem. Whether it’s drugs, alcohol or anemia, there needs to be rehab,” he said Wednesday afternoon.
…
Ophelia Ford has drawn attention to her behavior by missing multiple Senate sessions, blaming her absences on chronic anemia. She raised eyebrows on May 14 in a legislative committee meeting with an tirade against the state Department of Children’s Services commissioner and three other state officials.
A day later, she reportedly fell off a bar stool in the concierge lounge at the Sheraton Nashville Downtown Hotel, sending her to an overnight stay in the hospital. A worker at the hotel told ambulance dispatchers that the guest, reportedly Ford, was “extremely intoxicated,” according to the recording of the 911 emergency call.
I guess I was more right than I knew when I said that she’d gotten full and fallen out. I don’t know where they think they’re gonna send her though. I’ve yet to hear of a place that offers rehab for congenital corruption and hereditary ignunce.
Thanks, Nuke!
