Even a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut, and Thompson has always seemed to have a way of stumbling into success.I wonder who's worked harder in his life. Fred, or the leftist sycophant (toadying up to his leftist bosses) who penned this slur.
Both Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson were at Sean Hannity’s Freedom Concert last Thursday in San Diego. I was in the crowd and was able to shake their hands and speak with both of them. Judging by that crowd, Duncan Hunter is well known for his work on the border but Fred Thompson is a rock star. People could not get enough of him! He’s big, tall, warm, gracious, as is Congressman Hunter (who was enthusiastically lauded because his son is in Afghanistan). Thompson had a lot of supporters handing stuff out, etc. There was a motorhome out from with “Fred Thompson ‘08” and “Put Law and Order in the White House” all over it. We teased him that the thing was a dead giveaway as to his decision. He said, “Well, it would be but that’s not mine. That’s a family from..(I forget where). I just met them today.” Sure enough, a family with four kids who painted their motorhome, and are taking their summer to travel around and support Thompson! He and Jon Voight (wonderful man!) hung out with the crowd longer than anyone, except Sean. After the music started he came out and sat with the crowd in the front row, just in front of us. So many people left their seats and went up to shake his hand that after a few minutes Sean’s assistant came and got him and took him backstage. This was a hard core conservative crowd, filled with military and military families, and they were very excited about FT. I really hope he’s our guy. He’s awesome.
