I don't know if the public is allowed in. If one considers a blogger to be a journalist, perhaps a press pass would be available.

[2ndDivisionVet]

FRed Ping!

[Hildy]

I was at a CTIA show in 1998 or 1999 and George and Barbara Bush were the speakers.

[SE Mom]

I sure hope we’ll get a youtube of this- I miss Fred every day.

[jellybean]

FRed ping!

[NoGrayZone]

“I miss Fred every day.”

Me too =(

[HeadOn]

You might want to change that to “08” in the title... I thought it was a very old article...

[Politicalmom]

I guess you better send me an updated list, if you think it’s necessary.

I like seeing my friends get together occasionally. :)

[tm61]

edwards must have lost the scent of whatever ambulance he was chasing, and stumbled onto another way to make a buck.

[HeadOn]

I have an emotional time just drinking from my “I’m with Fred” coffee mug... :-(

[Politicalmom]

Absolutely. I tried to get more “Don’t Blame Me: I voted for Fred” stickers and a FRedhead hat, and they are out of stock.

I hope they get more. Otherwise, I will have to give a bit of money to the wacko liberal CafePress.

[NoGrayZone]

Ugh, that one hit me square in the gut. Dammit it....just dammit.

[SE Mom]

Hiya PM:) I’m grinning just thinking of the contrast between Fred and Edwards...can’t wait to see/hear their speeches!

[RckyRaCoCo]

I thought Fred(campaign)was dead?

John Edwards and Fred Thompson to Deliver CTIA WIRELESS 2008 Keynotes...

Now it makes sense.

[Politicalmom]

It’ll be like Winston Churchill VS Howdy Doody.

Bwahahaha!!

[SE Mom]

ROFL- excellent comparison!!!

[Rummyfan]

What the hell is John Edwards going to say? Is he going to tell that story of how his father the mill-worker went to the Verizon store and after looking at cell phone and service prices, he had to tell the family they couldn’t afford one?

[TheRightGuy]

I have an emotional time just drinking from my “I’m with Fred” coffee mug... :-(

I still have Fred stickers on my Jeep ... left, right, and rear. My Fred 08 yard sign has survived the winter and still graces the side of my driveway. And, I wore my "I'm with Fred" lapel pin to the wake of a friend who died recently (his name was Fred) ... got some looks, but he would have understood.

[Molly T.]

Gosh, wish I had a “Fred”cup ....I sure do miss him also....he was the man, as far as I’m concerned...and he still is...makes me sick to think what we’re left with to listen to all summer...sorry...I tune them all out,none have anything to say that interests me...no thanks.

[Bommer]

What the hell is John Edwards going to say?<

Same thing Fred is going to say, much of nothing! These are the last 2 minds that I think of when it comes to technology! Edwards reminds me of hair spray and Fred doesn't remind me of anything of real significance, much like his campaign!

[seekthetruth]

Thanks for the ping! Wonder if CSPAN will cover the event. If anyone hears about it being televised or about a tape of the event being available, please post the info. Thanks!

[dynachrome]

Fred will have to take a shower after sharing the room with “silky pony”.

[painter]

So do I.

[Politicalmom]

I bet you’ve had several highly successful careers, are in high demand as a speaker, and are known as a foreign affairs expert.

Or not.

[Politicalmom]

I hope he isn’t overcome by the fumes before he goes onstage.

:p

[jellybean]

Gosh, wish I had a “Fred”cup ...

You can still get a Fred cup HERE

[jellybean]

I'm not sure if my list is any more up to date than yours. Shortly after I consolidated the FRed list and the Daily FRead list my computer died. The list I'm using is one I had stored on a flash drive. I don't know when it was updated last.

[kaycee]

Ah, Jellybean, I miss your daily updates on Fred. May I join the FRED FOR PRESIDENT group? I supported him financially and hoped a miracle would happen. Sad to see the situation our country is in now.

[jellybean]

May I join the FRED FOR PRESIDENT group?

I'll be happy to put you on the FRed list. There's not much news anymore so you won't be pinged often. :(

[Molly T.]

Thanks for the info...

[Squidpup]

us bummin:

[Bommer]

I bet you’ve had several highly successful careers, are in high demand as a speaker, and are known as a foreign affairs expert.

Nope, your right, I have not. I'm also not a hack candidate that suckers weak minded fools into voting for him because of how he sounds giving Paul Harvey updates either. But I'm sure a pro like Fredcan fool the same people with his expertise with the "wifi technology" audience on what an expert he is in that field as well! Wonder if PT Barnum was his great great grandfather?

[Reagan Man]

FRed bump!

[kaycee]

Thanks. Any crumb of info is better than seeing HRC or the Magic One(HA)! on the TV constantly. Voodoo is more like it.

[daylilly]

This is a very good post politicalmind, for someone [not you, the recipient] who has nothing worthwhile to say.

I miss Fred because he is so intelligent, and had so much to say that was worthwhile. I miss you and jellybean and all the other Fred heads. Seldom see any of you posting very often when I am here. There aren’t many threads worth reading very often. Not even a good poll.

Sometimes I wonder if some posters aren’t campaign workers for McCain, or Obama, or Hillary.

[Bommer]

Sometimes I wonder if some posters aren’t campaign workers for McCain, or Obama, or Hillary.

Hey at least they would be 3 people serious about wanting the job and willing to fight for it...or at least run for it!

"COME BACK FRED! I know you were serious about running!"

[daylilly]

Worthless drivel

[dixiechick2000]

"FRed ping!"

Thank you for the "fix." ;o)

[Bommer]

yes he was!

[Uncle Ivan]

I'm also not a hack candidate that suckers weak minded fools into voting for him

Apparently we haven't been graced with the presence of Romney or the Huckster, then.

[Bommer]

Romney and Huck stayed in the race far far longer than Fred and won states, Thompson didn’t. Plus Thompson didn’t sign Norquist’s no-tax pledge. He was a hack, pure and simple

[Uncle Ivan]

Romney and Huck are also liberals. Thompson wasn't.

Calling him a hack or whatever mindless insult will not change that fact.

[Bommer]

Calling him a hack or whatever mindless insult will not change that fact.

He was a hack. You're just pissed because you were suckered in to believeing he was serious!

[Uncle Ivan]

Sounds like somebody's bitter because Thompson took support away from whatever candidate you supported.

Thing is, enough people were rooked into supporting two liberals in Huck and Romney, allowing McCain to slither into the nomination.

Thanks a bunch.

[Bommer]

Nope, I was smart enough that all of them were worthless and that the Democraps were already throwing the game! Hense your new master McCain!

[SE Mom]

This was supposed to happen today- have you found anything about it online? I searched briefly and couldn’t find anything..

[jellybean]

He's speaking tonight.
