The MSM in general and NewSqueak and the Washington ComPost are trying to bash Fred with the same non-issue story.
The same pitiful charges were raised earlier today by the Boston Blob and El Rooters (posted on Free Republic HERE.
Watch this weekend as this claptrap becomes the Beltway Buzz throughout the MSM Shout Shows and the lead story on the Sunday MSM fishwraps.
Fredipedia: The Definitive Fred Thompson Reference
Please FReepmail jellybean if you want on/off this list. WARNING: This ping list is EXTREMELY active.
Good. I want a President that does little or nothing. If only we could elect a Congress that would be the same.
So Senator Thompson does not spend 20 hour days spinning the press, having meetings, gabbing his constituents, and reading through reams of “reports” from staff, leaving no time for a normal life with his family and friends?
Point in his favor.
“The book on him is he’s lazy...”
Lessee.... A lawyer—a Watergate prosecutor. A lobbyist for 10 years, an actor, then a Senator. Now an actor.
Yep, that sounds pretty lazy alright.
Of the 90 bills he introduced during his eight years in the Senate,
And in 100 years in the senate lurch from Mass. introduced what 4?
“The book on him is he’s lazy,”
They said the same thing about Reagan for 8 years.
If Fred is “lazy” like Reagan, he has my support
Clinton spent a lot of time in the Oval office at night—but we can do without what he was doing there!
Liberal media hit piece. If Fred Thompson runs, he’s got my vote.
They said the same thing about RWR
(MSM Laziness Alert)
Gee, that didn’t take long.
The MSM and the Rudiphiles seem to prefer hands-on (control freak) president, like, say, Jimmuh Carter.
Seriously!
This makes him lazy??? LOLOLOL!
"I don't like spending 14- and 16-hour days voting on 'sense of the Senate' resolutions on irrelevant matters," he said in 1998. "There are some important things we really need to get on with—and on a daily basis, it's very frustrating."Doesn't sound lazy to me. Sounds intelligent. Doesn't want to sit around in elitist circle-jerks. Too smart for that.
The Founding Fathers envisioned a part-time legislature of men who brought talents from many fields of endeavor to the task, came together at infrequent intervals, got the job done, and went back to their private enterprises.
If Fred got tired of the egotistical blowhards in the Senate who are in love with sound of their own voices and think that federal legislation is the only solution to every conceivable human problem, that speaks well of him.
Total spin. That has nothing to do with Thompson...it would be true whether he were in the Senate or not. The vast majority of all bills introduced into Congress are never passed into laws.
I don’t think the MSM appreciates just how lame this attack really is.
For one thing — the rigors of campaigning will support or refute it in a big hurry.
If this is all they have on Fred... they’re going to have to return a big chunk of that bag money to the DNC.
If you want a job done efficiently and economically give it to the laziest person in the room...
