The Fred and Terri tar baby...

No surprise, the lefties won't let the Terri gaffe pass. Today it dominates the Terri news. How long has it been now? Note the post by Floriduh voter above, #728. Sounds like Mike Huckabee sees the relevance and import and recognizes it, joins his stalwart colleagues now in support. We conservatives do not have our consciences twinged by the murder of Terri so we may not appreciate how the lefties writhe.

It is they, not we who are Terri-fied. They will not let go easily.

Is Thompson’s hilarious presidential campaign for real? (Asked about the Jena Six, Thompson said, “I don’t know anything about that,” and, in Florida, said he had no opinion on the Terri Schiavo case.) Or is it on a par with Kramer’s invention of a garbage disposal for the shower so you can pare vegetables while you soap your armpits? When Thompson told Jay Leno, “I’m running for president of the United States,” was he talking about the United States of Kramerica?

Thompson, dubbed “Lazy Like a Fox” on the cover of Newsweek, has shown a studied lack of focus - he’s a former shoe salesman, lobbyist, one-and-a-third-term senator, radio commentator and ambulance chaser. Thompson was a personal-injury lawyer who represented people like Kramer, who sued Java World after spilling coffee on himself.

KRAMER VS. KRAMER A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ABOUT NOTHING...

From the American Thinker...

Dick Morris complains that he is too lazy to prepare well-scripted answers to questions about local issues. In Florida, for example he deflected a question about the Terri Schiavo case saying he wasn't familiar with the details but in general he preferred local answers to local questions. To a question about oil drilling in the Everglades he said that he wasn't aware of major oil resources there but that we couldn't be in the business of putting energy resources off limits.

Each of these answers was perfectly reasonable and part of a package that is likely to have broad appeal. Neither shows a lazy candidate. They both show a mature and sensible candidate who isn't willing to pander. Thompson, unlike all the others, has important themes to project and can't be bothered to pick up a few supporters here and there by promising to serve the interests of those few at the expense of the many.

President Thompson

Huckabee says he’s a Baptist Minister. Maybe the Baptist Southern Witness set him straight.
