Fred Thompson is a talented actor, but even he couldn't conceal the fact that he thinks John McCain's new running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is something of a gamble--albeit a gamble that going's to pay off. "No nominee that I've ever heard of has had all the boxes checked," he confessed this afternoon during lunch with NEWSWEEK's convention team here at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown St. Paul, referring to Palin's rather skimpy resume. "Whether she can survive those liabilities depends on things that haven't happened yet. John McCain has lot riding on this. I think she'll do very well, but it's up to her to carry the mail.
Pressed on Palin's inexperience, the Tennessean turned the tables on Obama--as I predicted last week that Republicans would do. "I wonder sometimes what we call experience," he drawled. "How much experience does Barack Obama have? Sitting on the floor of the Senate listening to people talk does not give you foreign-relations experience."

“Friday the AP had pictures posted with captions that described Alaska as a tiny state. What, tiny as in Delaware tiny?
Wonder if it as large in square miles as Texas.”
Larger, by a long, long ways.More than twice the size.
WOW, I didn’t take it like that at all,
and I think she’s a hottie.
good for Fred, once again showing the real racists and sexists are on the left.
Run Bambi run....
Wow, put words in his mouth much?....This reporter is...well...um...pretty typical I guess.
Sounds to me as though the lass AND the lad have as much class as the lass's mother AND father.
The only part of Thompson's appearance that may not be helpful down the road? That admission of risk.
Could someone tell me when the announcement of potential VP wasn't risky, at least since the ratification of the twelfth amendment to the US Constitution?
He couldn’t be more right, of course. The media made a hero—for as long as they could—out of the Democrat with young children running for president while his wife was gravely ill with cancer.
Fred takes her tempreture. Whos checking Fred for a pulse?
Almost 4 times the size in land area.
Whoa! Another great Jeff Head webpage! Good job again!
Oh, did I mention that she shoots?
...and my favorite. As governor, getting some time in on ma duece (she's on the left, behind the gun)!
I was noticing that too.
And the full-on media assault is in process. Propriety, qualms, shame, decency, you name it, out the window to bring down this one. Blatant dirt-digging and mud-slinging. Waiting for this was like waiting for the hurricane to hit.
The headline is suggestive in a vulgar way...makes it seem like hes using a rectal thermometer.Only in your mind.
Fred Thompson had better take his own temperature. It was slightly above room temp. a few months ago.
And my mind! Yowza!!!
Grow up.
