I loved those words the first time I heard him say them...no truer words indeed!
A member of Fred Thompson's staff lays on his back setting up a device that scrambles satellite signals, claiming that the vast left wing conspiracy funded by Soros is spying on Fred hoping to catch the slightest "Macca" slip up either on or off camera.
Presidential hopeful, former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., explains to the rest of the media why being "stuck on stupid" earned the blue-shirted reporter (center, on ground) a kick to the crotch.
Daniel, that's a low blow. Should only childless people run for President? Besides, that comment more closely fits Mr. and Mrs. Edwards. And trust me, you don't want to get me started on that.
When you insult people more accomplished, have larger bank accounts they worked for and having millions of people willing to vote for them Mr. Barker, please use correct grammar as it exposes you to ridicule.
The "worth more" wording exposes a class envy too. You should have written, "Jeri and I conclude we will be a more accomplished political team to our children than as parents at home".
The site would be interested in a further blog from you exposing your intimate knowledge of the Thompsons in your being a neighbor, nanny, butler, personal friend or family relative in how you know what kind of parents the Thompsons are.
It would help the debate by including this information you are eluding to.
Perhaps he was like Donavan McNabb at the Superbowl and got tired and had to lay down and take a nap or was looking to carry out his producer's order to cover Thompson from a new angle.
In looking at the brain dead reporters there, I will vote for Fred just keeping his composure and not telling them how stupid they are like Bill Parcels would.
Miss the Big Tuna now that football season is here.
Reporter: Senator Thompson, have you heard the following comments by Senator Schemer, and what do you think about them? Wouldn't you agree that the surge is not working?
"Let me be clear. The violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge ---- not because of the surge.
The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from Al-Qaeda said to these tribes, "We have to fight Al-Qaeda ourselves." It wasn't that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords took peace here, created a temporary peace here."
Senator Thompson: Let me be clear. Senator Schemer is a horses rear. And I'm sorry you got between him and that camera over there. Can you get up by yourself?
"The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."
Reporter was taken ill when Fred Thompson told him the unvarnished truth. The reported hissed bared his fangs and covered his face with his cape uttering the words nooo not the truth argggg. Many of the reporters there were also ill and covered their faces simirally. It is well known evil does not like teh bright light of teh truth.
FT: " Look, I waited till Labor Day weekend because that's when this always starts. I didn't do it to deprive you of past months income following me around covering my campaign, nor was I attempting to cause you homelessness nor starve you.
No I won't issue a press release to that effect.
No, that does not mean I just lied to you and am covering the whole thing up.
No, I don't think you would win a lawsuit against me for causing you undue pain and suffering.
I don't believe starting after Labor Day Weekend has caused you to experience a hostile work environment.
Just my picture is on the side of the campaign vehicle because I'm the one running, it doesn't indicate an aversion to women or ethnic minorities and children.
No, I wasn't ignoring any request from my family to "be in lights" too on the campaign vehicle.
No, I didn't choose black and gold as a color scheme because I like oil and money more than I should.
It's not black and blue too, the other non-text color is purple.
No, purple doesn't stand for bruises, and no the intention was not to scare or terrorize you.
I'm not certain what the exact gas mileage is.
No, the tinted windows reduce glare, they are not for hiding facts and actions from you, or taking away your first amendment rights. "
"How did I know the first thing you'd ask me about would be Larry Craig?!"
I'm pretty excited to see Fred officially in the race. And in the past couple of days he's said more substantive things than Hillary will in all of '07 and '08! The other day Bill O'Reilly agreed with my sentiments about Hillary's total lack of substance by saying he doesn't think Hillary will ever have to say anything of substance. Rather, she'll just travel around the country and speak her meaningless generalities. Imagine if Fred Thompson, instead of giving his ideas on fighting terrorism, stopping illegal immigration, easing the tax burden, etc., simply said to Iowans, "I'm your man!", "I will be an agent for real change!", "Together we can do this!", "I know how to get things done!". Boy, if Hillary ever had to have a real debate with Fred would she ever get trounced! (And she'd get creamed by all the other GOP candidates, too, of course). But sadly the formats of the "debates" she'll do next fall (2 at the most is what she'll agree to. Debates can only serve to hurt her chances) will enable her to sidestep any challenging questions and simply speak her prepared talking points and generalities to the camera for one minute.
"You MSM knuckleheads can literally fall down around me, I'm going straight to the people with my message. What will not be included is your incessant avoidance of the real issues of this country, good day, I said good day!"
"Mr. Thompson, a number of months back Al Gore said that Global Warming will strike within 10 years. It seems likely, considering the weak field of democrats, that you will become the next President of the United States. With the prospect of being elected to a second term, how do you feel about knowing that Global Warming will become the lasting legacy of the Thompson Administration?"
