And that is why Fred gave him that little dig.
This is great, we get to bash Fred now and he isn`t even running yet!
He doesn’t hate to campaign when he gets to call the shots. When he decided to take over his own campaign, he turned it around in three months, from a huge losing position to winning the highest number of votes in Tennessee history.
Ugghhhh!!! If I hear this one more time....
These media lemmings drive me up a wall!!!!
Fred Thompson IS NOT Ronald Reagan and WILL NEVER BE Ronald Reagan. SO GET USED TO IT!!!!
Fred Thompson IS Fred Thompson and that's FINE by me!
OK, so he's not an inspirational orator like RWR or JFK. But he does have a special down-home no-nonsense trustworthiness that none of the other candidates have. He reminds me of characters like Andy Griffith or Ward Cleaver. Not fiery speakers, but definitely the type of men most Americans (unless you are a moonbat leftist) would love to see running the country.
His first wife says she will campaign for him.
All this reminds me of a story.
I’ll give the rated G version...........
“Two bulls are standing on a hill. Off in the distance, they see a group of cows.
The young bull excitedly nudges the old bull and says, “Hey! Hey! I know! Let’s run over there and kiss one of those cows!”
The old bull looks at the young bull, then turns and takes a long look at the cows. He turns back to the young bull and says, “Son, let’s walk over there and kiss ‘em all.”
If you'd like to be a FRedHead let me know.
CAUTION: This is a very high volume ping list. You may receive between 5 and 10 pings a day. If you'd rather not receive so many pings, let me know and I'll only ping you once a week.
I saw a little bit of the speech and thought it was good but he sounded a little hum drum...not really enthusiastic like Rudy and Romney. I only heard about 5 minutes though.
He’s running and will announce in June. He has more or less said as such if you listen.
“...and not about Iraq”
Yes, but now Nancy and Harry keep saying GWB is out of touch with the American people who spoke in November about Iraq. Scandal and corruption aren’t that important now because Nancy/Harry might be implicated if these hearings/investigations get too in depth.
Oh, that’s right, her husband was and Harry and his sons were, weren’t they ... so many scandals, just can’t remember them all.
JFK gave one great speech, and he didn’t even write that one. My guess is that Thompson wrote his own speech. Reagn could and did write his own speeches, but he could also deliver that of another writer. But Thompson definitely has an authentic voice. Romney is coming xlose to finding his. I suggest, more of that humor. The idiot reporters will keep sending those dumb questions. Learn to throw them back at them but with the same kind of ease you used with the Catholic boshops question. Take a few lessons from Tony Snow.
Relax people! Once he does announce he will TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM!!!!
Novak is trying to remain relevant. It’s sad to see him so far out of the loop.
FDT joked he wanted to talk to a film producer in the audience about getting a job if ‘this whole thing with poitics doesn’t work out’. What that means is he is going to run when he gets sufficient backing. So far he has a lot of backing outside of California and I suspect he wants some key backers from California. I hope we hear soon that he has them.
Novak’s an idjit.
There’s a copy circulating online. Check the whole thing out.
There’s also a great interview on breitbart.tv where Fred answers a few more questions. Both are worth seeing IMHO.
Fred Thompson has specific commitments to keep. Until those commitments are final he won’t be making any official announcements I’m certain.
There is also the possibility of Fred Thompson making a decision NOT to run for President should something better happen for his life. Wouldn’t be a good idea to “Campaign” as though he were certain to announce and then let all down would it.
There’s plenty of time yet. Fred Thompson seems to think so. Patience is a virtue.
Perhaps he's preparing to run a "front porch" campaign à la William McKinley or Warren Harding.
Novak is rooting for McCain .. and he’ll probably do whatever he can to taint Fred. Fred doesn’t owe Novak anything and Fred has no obligation to accomodate Novak for any reason. Fred already said on Hannity that it would probably be the end of May before he made his decision. It’s probably about waiting until his contract is over for the Law and Order program.
Personally, I still blame Novak for the Skooter Libby fiasco. Novak knew the truth and refused to print it .. but like the rest of the liberals he will spill anything about any repub if it makes them look bad.
So Fred didn’t announce and Novak didn’t get the scoop! Too damn bad! That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
