but … but … but … Thompson has not *even* announced yet. whatsup with that?

Once he announces, all of his “Law and Order” episodes have to come off the air.

But even more importantly, he would lose his daily radio show, “The Fred Thompson Report”, where he gets to misrepresent himself and his facts with folksy, down-home, plain-speakin’, political snake oil.

Any speculation on Thompson’s VP?

Ummmm…… Fourthbranch? There are no term limits on the office of the Vice-Presidency. And he certainly acts as if he intends to occupy his Undisclosed Location forever.

Van Hollen came off as knowledgable, well spoken and calm as he repeatedly put down and ripped apart the pathetic, rambling statements by Canon.

Canon is a fat, ugly, greedy looking person, and Van Hollen couldn’t help himself from smiling smugly as Canon spewed out his nonsense.

Score one for the Dems, and they don’t score many wins on Fox!

“there must be some incentive for profit”

What caught my eye on the blogs? TPM on Fred Thompson’s folksy non-responsive response when quizzed about his prochoice lobbying.

“I’d just say the flies get bigger in the summertime. I guess the flies are buzzing.”

This man is a Presidential disaster waiting to happen. Cheney apparently been shortlisted for the office, since he’s such a good actor as “Commander” and has no scruples.

But are we really desiring four years of answers like “If grasshoppers carried 45’s, birds wouldn’t mess with them,” and “That dog won’t hunt if its legs are broken,” and “He couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel,” every time Thompson is asked a serious policy question?

Chris Matthews has the hot-and-sweaties for Thompson, which to me indicates that the guy is getting the Republican nod. If Cheney and Rove are using the Vote Machine to install Thompson in office, then we are in for a rough time. It’s time to get those offshore accounts started so that you won’t have to begin life as a refugee in Canada totally penniless.

hes now the front runner over guiliani tho…
