Go Fred! from a fellow Tennessean!
It's the "Seinfeld" of trials, a trial about nothing.
not bad!!
--Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband just admitted he outed Valerie Plame. Something about having a ten year affair with Joe Wilson and being jealous.--
Aha - He had an affair with Zsa Zsa's...husband?
Joe Wilson has just been "outed"!
Honk! Honk! Nothing like a good conservative actor who speaks with authority for President! Kind of reminds me of another similar president.
Please add me to the Thompson ping list.
Honk, honk! ;-)
Actors have more influence with the public than politicians.
Brilliant strategy to have Thompson as the head spokesman IMO.
Fred Thompson is a grown up. He also has the stage presence to trash (classily and effectively) Mrs. Arkansas Antichrist or Osama Obama. As a Senator, he had the courage to resist trade wih Red China (wich finances the People's "Liberation" Army) and Most Favored Nation status for Red China. We could do a lot worse in choosing a nominee. He also says what he means and means what he says.
Ah...further light is shed. Part of the this is remaining fury over Clinton being charged with perjury.
How silly...payback is impossible because Scooter is far removed from President. Not only that but Ken Starr was appointed to investigate actual crimes. "Outing" the non-covert agent was not a crime.
See, Thompson had to tell ABC this fact because ABC and the rest of the LameStream Media haven't bother covering this portion of the story.
Why, just today on my local news did I see the story that mentioned Richard Armitage. The first time they've mentioned the known leaker to Novak--and this story is ages old.
Ping. I had to read this twice!
I would LOVE to see him run for the presidency.
"Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband just admitted he outed Valerie Plame. Something about having a ten year affair with Joe Wilson and being jealous."
Oh Lord!!! Thank you for the great laugh. First one today. I think I have read in the past (on several occasions) Prince what-ever-his-name-is has a light loafer problem.
Regards.
Great Red October play on words.
That's my favorite movie line of all time.
"The Russians don't take a dump son without a five year plan."
It would be interesting to know at what point old "FITZ" concluded that Plame was not covert. At that point, his authority to investigate was over. No criminal offense in the leak, no further investigation needed. Any subsequent digging was just a witch hunt. Now it looks like he even Knew earlier than once thought. He should have wrapped up his investigation in about a week and ruled that Joe Wilson and Valarie Plame were a primary source for the leak and that it was not criminal.
Hunter/Thompson '08 or Thompson/Hunter '08. Either way I'd be one happy camper.
Exaggerate much?
"Would you consider running for President???"
President it is!!!
I love that man...There are so few, if any, men in congress. The rest are nothing but slimy, crooked, dung beetles.
The women don't show me anything either, and I am speaking as a woman.
