Joe Six Pack won’t give a hoot about the 2008 Presidential Election until after the 2008 Super Bowl. Only when America’s favorite sport is over, will he concentrate on Washington’s favorite sport!
Yep. It infuriates political reporters and the like, but thats it.
And honestly, I don’t mind them being annoyed, lord knows they have caused me enough annoyance over the years.
Not just political reporters, but political producers, and the owners of aforesaid political producers, ie, the MSM are collectively bitching because they can't monetize his candidacy to their own ends -- by leveling any number of falsehoods against a Fred candidacy -- until he declares.
They can't attack him until then -- it would be "unseemly". So right now he has a couple of bureau & pool guys kinda sorta floating along with the tide, and he's not making any "news". And that pi$$es off certain MSM Manhattan Libs, whose sole outlook on life is to bring you rumors and innuendo, particularly when levied against a rugged individualist conservative like Fred Thompson.
But anyone here who would criticize Fred for opting not to declare in the traditional MSM Off-Season, while most of the news MSMugglers are taking in the Fire Island or P-Town breezes from Memorial Day to Labor Day, are simply delusional & grossly undereducated in the ways of the MSM. Which is not a shock to me -- most of these Born in '07 disruptors will quickly go the way of nopardons and the rest of the Giuliette & (the admittedly absurdly funny) Paulist cabals.
