Former Senator Fred Thompson thanked the New York Times and Hillary Clinton campaign Saturday for some publicity in the “Scooter” Libby case.

Thompson, speaking before the Young Republican National Convention Saturday in Hollywood, Florida, told the crowd how he had been an early supporter of Lewis “Scooter” Libby’s legal defense. “I didn’t know Scooter, but I knew an injustice when I saw one,” the former actor told the crowd.

He went on to offer some word of thanks for the publicity about his support of Libby. “The New York Times and the Hillary Clinton campaign have got us number one on their target list, so I want to report that and say I appreciate all their help,” Thompson said. “If nothing else, we’ve apparently convinced the Clinton’s that it really is a bad thing to lie under oath,” he said as his line was greeted with laughter from the audience...

Finally a case in which perjury needs to be punished with prison. The liberals never thought THAT needed to done before!

“If nothing else, we’ve apparently convinced the Clinton’s that it really is a bad thing to lie under oath.”

We'll find out about that when Hillary is called to the stand in the Peter Paul case.

I doubt that will ever happen. I think the Bushes and Clintonistas have a deal. But, we can hope.

Unlike most Republicans, including those running for President, Fred has a spine, and knows to effectively respond to ‘rat demogoguery and moonbattery. That’s the most important reason he should be the GOP nominee.

Fred, Fred - now that you're a top tier candidate for the White House, kinda start to be careful of what you say. Three months from now, this type of statement would send reporters scurrying to see if you actually did once meet Scooter. Just a free piece of advice.

Here here - enough political weaselry - we need straight talkin’ Fred takin’ it to them.

we’ve apparently convinced the Clinton’s that it really is
Somehow, I don't know why, I expect better from major media.

This was hilarious- glad you posted it!!

:) I like Fred’s humor.

Fred Thompson went up greatly in my book.

Anybody willing to slam the Clintons and the NY Times openly -- about time.

[dusttoyou]

I know I prefer Fred to keep talking just like this. Its what the GOP needs and what America needs.

FDT doesn’t mince his words and THAT will become a drumbeat before Gen Election time.

[Trteamer]

I’m starting to see in Fred Thompson, a man who can mop the floor with Hillary.

And the ease in which he skewers them with humor juxtaposed against the Dems shrill, vitriolic, spit flecked hate is one of the reasons that he is the next President!

:) I like Fred’s humor.

I do too, but I temper my enthusiasm with the knowledge that Hillary IS a target-rich environment.

Anybody hear HilaryCare’s explanation of her brother’s selling of pardons?? “To the best of my memory...” pure legalize clintonspeak to avoid perjury.

Doh!

[Taichi]

How about that, a Republican candidate that speaks up and speaks out about his Democrat opposition.
