As I said, Fred Thompson would have been toast.
"No, he is not my Grandpa."
very short
Jet jockeys tend to be short. Short guys fit into the cockpit better and they do not get above-the-knee amputations when they have to eject.
And, actually, he was was no shorter than Nixon.
and very mean.
Good!
Maybe that's what it takes to win the friggin' war.
Haven't we been complaining for 8 years that Bush won't fight back?
This "how he looks" angle may be a sorry fact of life in 21st Century America but it is still a pathetic way to choose a leader. Abrahan Lincoln loked so horrible that political cartoonists sometimes depicted him as an ape.
Obama might be seen by some as being "too black".
As for me, I do not care whether my President is tall or short or ugly or handsome or a man or a woman or black or white or suffering from a skin condition that makes him or her purple with green polka dots.
I want somebody who will win this war and not mess up everything else too badly.
