” “He’s not running for president, sort of strolling for president “

In other words, he’s not doing the ‘dancing clown’ act that the media demands of Republican Candidates...

I had hopes that Fred Thompson might go this route early in his campaign in ‘08, but he got whipped back into line in fairly short order...

Actually Cain is doing exactly that — “electric fence, let’s kill them”, then next day: “I was only kidding”.

Speaking of dancing clowns, I sure miss the recent hilarity of George “Will Of The People,” temporary populist, followed by “Fight The Power” George Will, anti-establishment street fighter. I do believe he even bought a daring new bowtie during that phase.

Now it’s back to ho-hum normal in Willville now that mighty Palin has bowed out. Same old, same old. She really had him all sweaty, tongue tied and just generally tied up in knots.

Fred was just there to peel some votes away from Huckabee in the South. And all the pre-hype took up folks time also.

Fred has always been a McCainiac and was helping him out IMO.
