Allow me to quote the tagline of another Freeper w/regards to the CFR:
“No self-respecting group bent on world domination would invite Angelina Jolie to be a member.) “
Like Obama, the Fred enthusiasm is based on who he is, rather than anything he has done or is doing. The essence seems to be that FDT has a mostly conservative voting record and boatloads of charisma. A candidate running on the basis of charisma had best be spectacular on TV. I don't think anyone can describe Fred's performance in the softball Hannity interview as spectacular.
If FDT isn't gangbusters on T.V., doesn't work very hard, and doesn't have a great bio or resume, then just what makes us think he is such a great candidate in the very difficult 2008 GOP environment?
For information and smiles (From Drudge):
O’REILLY BEATS CNN REPUBLICAN DEBATE... OReilly at 8pm on FONEWS CHANNEL averaged 2,291,000 viewers — more viewers than CNNs entire debate from 7-9pm which had 1,974,000... MORE... At 9pm, Fred Thompsons appearance on FNC HANNITY/COLMES out-rated CNN/Anderson Coopers analysis of the Republican debate -— FNC averaged 1,628,000 viewers to CNNs 1,178,000 from 9-10pm...
What does CNN expect? The questions were stupid, and having Arienna Huffington and Paul Begala on as commentators for a republican debate is beyond stupid — typical CNN.
That and the fact that the MSM is pushing losers like Rudy, Mitt and McCain.
The format for these 'debates" is very slanted toward the "front runners."
