Pontificating Columnist George Will, who holds himself out to be an expert on most things, has decreed that Fred Thompson's candidacy is unnecessary. Oh well, Fred, nice try but I guess you should just drop out. If George says it, it must be true! Right?

Wrong! Fred Thompson is doing something George Will can never hope to do. He is connecting with the average person in America. Fred has that intangible quality of being able to communicate calmly yet forcefully and affect people. George Will does not understand the world most people live in. He has been a wordsmith for decades, waxing eloquent in columns and being a "talking head" on Sunday Morning News Shows that reach who? The same elitist, chattering-class, inside-the-beltway crowd he clearly must run with.

In his newest hitpiece (now three hitpiece columns against Fred), he focuses on

I am getting really fed up with Will’s Ivy League twang.

Nice, quick spanking Will. And all true.

Bob Beckel: “Fred Thompson is the Left’s worst nightmare.”

"In his newest hitpiece (now three hitpiece columns against Fred)"

"Will is critical of Fred but never of his pal and clear choice for President, Rudy Giuliani"

As Fred continues to relate to the American public, those like the 'wordsmith' Will are starting to panic... I can think of very few subjects that Will has written THREE columns about.

He is now at the point that he STRENGTHENS my resolve!

We’ve been fed up with Will’s swill for a long time now. Any “Conservative” with such long-term employment guarantees with ABC is highly suspect, anyhow.

I am finding George Will to be increasingly unnecessary.

I think George needs some feedback. His email is:

georgewill@washpost.com

I remember a Doonesbury cartoon, from a long, long time ago, back when they were still funny. There was a White House Press Conference and Ronald Reagan was trying to explain supply-side economics. The reporters and Mark were hostile and dismissive, as always. Then, in the last panel, Reagan starts saying, "If I take an orange, see, and cut it in half...", and Mark yells out "Somebody stop him! He's going over our heads directly to the People!"

George Will seems to have the same objection today. There is no need to parse Fred Thompson, as one always had to do with President Clinton, so we have less need of a ever-so-clever wordsmith to do the job. There is no need to translate Fred Thompson into English, as is regrettably so often true of President Bush, so we don't need our educated betters to tell us what it all means. Fred Thompson just speaks directly to the people, and there is no need for George Will.

Fred Thompson is going to put George Will out of a job, and George Will doesn't like that much.

Well done! That’s about as clever as it gets.
Semper Fi,

I have not read Will’s pompous column for a long time.I wonder who reads his column.

As much as I’d love to, I can’t take personal credit for that gif; I found it via Google Images. ;)

VETERANS THINK IT IS NECESSARY!

FRED VETS, SIGN UP TODAY AT:

[AmericanMade1776]

Fred isn’t ignoring elitist, he is ignoring Republicans.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I haven’t paid attention to George Will for years.

[Josh Painter]

No, he’s beating your guy like Ginger Baker’s snare drum, and you just can’t stand it, just like Boy George can’t stand it that Fred is going to take RINO Rudy down.

You and George Shill can cry on each other’s shoulders.

[cbkaty]

Georgie....stick to baseball and bow ties..... I respect you knowledge in these arenas...

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

George Open Borders Will...

For a year George Will and others have been telling conservatives they need to compromise and nominate an “electable” liberal, now all of the sudden Fred Thompson isn’t conservative enough...

[crazydad]

Ouch! Thats going leave a mark...
Good smack down!
