She’s been called a “brainy blonde,” a Canadian heiress, a buxom mother of three and a very close Friend of Bill Clinton’s.
Just don’t call her Harold Ford Jr.’s “girlfriend.’
She is Lisa Belzberg, the ex-wife of Seagram heir Matthew Bronfman, spotted recently at the Carnegie Club Cigar Bar on West 56th Street in Manhattan with the former Memphis congressman and last month’s losing Tennessee Senate candidate.
According to New York Post Page Six columnists, Belzberg, a public education activist and former producer of The Charlie Rose Show, told the newspaper that there is no romance between the two and that she’d prefer not to be called Ford’s girlfriend, as The Post recently presumed to do.
“Harold and I believe in a lot of the same things and are great friends,” she told The Post.
But was there any canoodling going on?

She looks almost exactly like the “call me” girl from the RNC’s campaign attack ad on Jr.
I guess he called her after all.
P.S. Sr. would never approve—it’s not so bad that she’s white (hey, if it’s OK for Tiger, it’s certainly OK for Jr.); it’s that she’s also Jewish (and we know how Sr. feels about that from his not-so-veiled comments regarding Steve Cohen’s ethnicity during Jake’s campaign).
