One of the weirdest sentences in political coverage tonight

Oh my. I popped over to the Nashville Tennesseean in hopes of seeing news about a Ford defeat and read this sentence:

Corker, in part, drew the outburst from Ford by comparing his Memphis family to a political machine and suggesting conflicts of interest between Ford's congressional work and his father's lobbying duties.
Comparing them to a machine? I hope he called the Ford family a political machine. I can't think of any other word that's really appropriate. Here's the story.
