Is anyone paying attention how the mainstream media is making this empty vessel of a man the heir apparent to the candidate "you'd like to have a beer with"? Come on!
The man that Nixon called 'dumb', and whose true fame and fortune has been playing the head of a prosecution team in a show that glorifies and celebrates a system that incarcerates more human beings per capita then any other 'justice' system IN THE WORLD, is being packaged as the Republican's great white hope.
Ah..who the hell cares... As long as the Republican party runs away from the truly viable in Ron Paul and the anti-war Republican Chuck Hagel, I shouldn't worry so much when a sleaze-merchant like Fred Thompson throws his gen-u-ine Stetson cowboy hat into the ring.
This man is an empty suit to be filled with one liners and platitudes. Seriously, does anyone know Fred Thompson? We don't even know what is his favorite sick-ass sexual deviency! Maybe we should ask his teen-aged wife?
In the meantime, we'll see lots of well packaged, good ol' Fred Thompson, waving to the crowd, kissing babies, and jumpin' into his pick-up truck.... (to drive to his Jaguar)...
