Not very journalistic writing.
BUT.... Bump! Go Fred Go!
snip:
For a candidate who hasn't officially entered the presidential race, Fred Thompson arrived at the Indiana Convention Center on Saturday sure looking like one who had.Thompson, a movie and TV actor and former U.S. senator from Tennessee, walked into the ballroom with a wide smile. He stopped at some tables to chat with people attending the Midwest Republican Leadership Conference.
He patted people on the back and posed with them for photos.
Thompson hasn't officially declared his candidacy and didn't offer a policy speech. His talk was about a sense of a journey he believes the nation must take to preserve the country for generations to come.
Standing before a huge floor-to-ceiling American flag, Thompson, 65, looked at ease as he stood before 400 to 500 people at the Saturday evening dinner.
OMG! The grammar and style of writing in this article absolutely sucks.
WTHR should be ashamed for letting this out of the newsroom.
That fellow from Minnesota--Mondale (or something like that wasn't it?)--he told the "American People" the truth. He would, he said in effect, have to raise taxes. Did he take a single state in that election? Anyone remember?Thompson doesn't know the "American People can't handle the truth.
Another dud.
