I don't see his motive for all the speeches and this MM slap down if he's not running.

I don't either... but it's gonna' be brutal around here if he doesn't.

And what instincts: he handled the pig just right, gave him no credence, showed thinly veiled contempt, and put the ball back in his (the pig’s) court.

Wow! yours is probably the best comment yet. A brilliant summation... deserves repeating.

[DesScorp]

Declare, Fred...the check is standing by.

Fred may not only have your vote, but the vote of the entire Cuban-American community as well, once they see this.

Bank shot? Do you think Thompson provoked Moore into this just to be able to respond? With the Florida primary being early and important, an "in" with the Cuban expatriates might be very valuable in eight months...

OMG, this man is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. I got it. It was my husband’s fault. He has all my programs running in some security program called “Sandbox” and I forgot that it messes with my downloads. :)

RedState has it up now. Maybe those that can’t view it through Quicktime can view it at Redstate.

Slap his fingers and tell him to stay out the sandbox!

[Dont Mention the War]

WOW!

Fireside chat 2007!

[don-o]

watch at home.

Fred may not only have your vote, but the vote of the entire Cuban-American community as well, once they see this.

Great POINT - great point.

“This is the kind of “new tone” we need in Washington.”

AMEN

[newcthem]

I get the feeling, Fred is not going to be watching the polls half as much as the rest of the “leaders” if he does make a run.

This guy can seriously beat Mrs. Bill.

Fantastic! Here’s the original op-ed Thompson wrote that spurred all this:

For those who think Thompson doesn’t have fire in the belly — observe how quick he is to respond effectively and reframe the debate. Also observe how well he’s using new media, in additiont to his rounds of speeches and other more traditional forms of campaigning.

Bravo, Sen. Thompson!

[xcamel]

Outstanding!

[servantboy777]

I’m still chucklin inside.

Fred’s got my attention. Let’s see where he stands on the issues.

So far I like what I see.

[jmc813]

But, but, Fred lacks “fire in the belly”. Ummm...he has lymphoma, did you relize that? Eh, uh, John Glenn steamrolled him.

[Politicalmom]

Our military will LOVE this, too. :)

[cubreporter]

I can’t get the video but...tell me...is this a joke or not? Did Fred Thompson respond to pig moore? Good last name for michel isn’ it? MOORE. Give me MOORE. I want MOORE. Sorry, I got off the subject a little. Seriously, is this a joke or truth? Thanks.
