If Thompson is the charging bear, McCain is the slowest of the three campers fleeing him -- the most likely to be devoured.

You know, I received very specific assurances that Thompson was just a "stalking horse" for McCain, whatever the heck that means. I guess maybe he's a "stalking bear" instead?

Why yes, I believe you’re correct. We were in fact promised that Fred was a stalking horse for McCain. I remember it clearly.

Since that strategy seems to be failing, we now can see what they really meant was that Jeri’s a trophy, Fred’s a failed lobbyist, is part of the New World Order, an empty suit, too old and frail and is pro-choice.

Let’s meet back here to watch as those attempts go the way of the Stalking Horse :)
