Even airing re-runs of past L&0s with Thompson will violate media regs. This was an issue with Schwarzenegger when he was running for CA Gov--Predator and Terminator were banned from TV!
Posted by paul at April 2, 2007 08:36 AMSo the question begging to be answered? In 2000 did the GOP put up their worst candidate or their 2nd worst? McCain is almost to the point of making Bush look good and I didn't for a second think that was possible.

Posted by biggerbox at April 2, 2007 08:58 AMAnyone should be very nervous about this guy's credentials since Bill Frist is one of his major endorsers - proof he must be an upstanding candidate, no??!!
Posted by ggb at April 2, 2007 09:14 AMFred Thompson, not to be confused with the other Thompson in the race, is a well known D.C. Ladies Man with, judging from some of his reported liasons, fairly lax standards. He should be able to play the part of a candidate well, and for the GOP a good facade is all that matters. They can always appoint a "brain" to run a shadow government for him. This is what it's come down to for the GOPers-recruiting an actor because their frontrunners are either in bed with the mob or just plain nuts. Well, it's worked before, and if The Hillary is his opponent, it will work again.

Posted by Christopher at April 2, 2007 11:07 AMLarry Johnson has the Senators' hat size:
"John McCain and Lindsey Graham put American soldiers' lives at risk just so they could have a photo op. That's the bottomline. Why didn't they do a ride along on a real patrol? Perhaps they could have joined the U.S. team that responded to an ambush of an American patrol yesterday? Of course a total of six U.S. soldiers died in that operation."

Fodder units. That's all our kids are to these people, their delusional desperate masters and the large fraction of willfully ignorant Americans this will resonate with.
What goes around comes around.
