Here's something funny: as you all know, Fred Thompson has been the voice of Paul Harvey News each day recently. This has given him 3 or 4 minutes each day to promote his political and social philosophy nationwide, not only free of charge but while being compensated by the ABC radio network. Now the ABC Washington affiliate, WMAL, is playing "Hail to the Chief" before Thompson comes on in the morning! He hasn't even announced and they're considering it a foregone conclusion that he's going to be president. They may be right.

They may be right.

Yep.

I hate to say this, but what about the man's personal life? Are there skeletons there? This doesn't have to do with Fred Thompson and his positions, it has to do with media scrutiny. God knows that things like that can throw candidates for a loop. Remember all the mud slung at Dubya

I hope vetting is done early so the candidate we end up nominating can solidly weather it. Because dirt will certainly show up in ANY of them. This not to malspeak them but to point out the very real concern of media scrutiny and public perception. There's a quote from Horatio Hornblower -- "We each have a maggott in our past that would happily devour our future."

That's just great.

Can you imagine Fred debating Hillary or Obama? It would make the Cheney v. Edwards debate seem like a fair fight.

I've caught 3 of his Paul Harvey broadcasts this week. I really don't like the sound of his voice, his manner of speech, his dialect, or anything else I hear on his Paul Harvey radio gig.

What has this guy got?
What does he stand for?
Why should I not wish he goes away?
