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."

I am proud of you, you stand up for yourself well. I always enjoy those who prove the old “better to be silent and thought a fool...” adage...
I guess the conservative / RNC big wigs who set up his run are morons also.
I am so glad someone as smart as you is here to set us all straight...

Fred's right! Sarah's story would make a great movie! Mrs. Palin Goes To Washington.

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.
