Fred: 'We Don't Wear Any Hats, Unless They're Our Own.'
The National Review ^ | December 21, 2007 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 12/22/2007 9:38:51 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Confederate Yankee catches Roger Simon of the Politico making a Fred Thompson visit to an Iowa firehouse sound like it went much worse than it did. Simon describes Thompson's "sour expression" on his face, and suggests that Thompson offended the firefighters when he mentioned his "silly hat" rule.

CBS News - you know CBS News, that longtime friend of bloggers - offers video, that shows a lot of laughter and good spirits all around. Come on, man.

Thompson apparently makes a reference to this botched story in his latest little video from the road: "Remember, we don't raise our hands when we're told to, and we don't wear any hats, unless they're our own."

I understand Thompson will be spending Christmas managing a crisis at the Dulles Airport Control Tower.

FRed is well aware of the fool Mike Dukaka made of himself with the football helmet in the Tank Caper.

Can someone post that infamous photo to illustrate the folly of wearing hats ...

I don’t appear to be getting your pings. Could you check?

I’m going to be duplicating your pings, otherwise.

Oh no! I thought I had added your name back after my computer crashed and you sent me your copy of the list.

You're back on now! :)
