"STUBBY LITTLE LEGS"?....Garance Franke-Ruta, reporting from deep in the wilds of heartland Republicanism, is trying to figure out why so many GOPers are going gaga over Fred Thompson. So she asked a "leading figure in the Iowa Republican Party," who told her it's because Fred is a celebrity, Fred is a real conservative, and Fred weighs more than Hillary Clinton. Seriously:
"Can you imagine what debates are going to be like with great big Andrew Jackson-looking Fred and Hillary on her stubby little legs, stamping her feet?" Thompson, if elected, would be the tallest president ever. Republicans are not just looking for the usual John Wayne-type signifiers as they go about selecting a candidate, but thinking about who can best loom over Hillary Clinton and make her look like a shrill, small, silly little woman. Thompson's booming voice will make her "sound like Madame Defarge."
If there's any reason to support Hillary Clinton in the primaries, this is it. Contrary to this guy's delusions, Clinton would eviscerate Fred Thompson in a debate, and maybe, just maybe, this would drive the GOP's core jockocracy into such shrill unholy madness that the entire party would self-destruct in a stupendous display of mass hysteria. It's worth a try, anyway.
Who is this guy?
I SMELL FEAR....
Many Democrats know that the only thing standing between Hillary and Coronation is a Republican Candidate that can actually deliver a Conservative Message to the Sheeple...
I don’t know, but he sounds like CBS’s answer to the SF Chronicle’s Morford, a perpetually hissy individual!
I also want to know, what the heck is a ‘jockocracy’?
Uh-huh, and Carter was supposed to eviscerate Reagan in the debates.
I guess the import of the fact that the elegant 38 second demolition of Michael Moore was entirely FDT’s own idea, script, and execution, with the idea arriving in real-time upon the portly propagandist’s challenge to debate having been received, has not sunk in with the left.
Good, let them only realize it too late.
Is he gay? The word sounds like something in the gay lexicon.
Would be a total cankle melt down.
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
Round here
Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It’s a wonderful world)
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick ‘em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time
Well, I don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
‘Round here
—Randy Newman
You know, I have to say, I have no problem with the original leftist, Koz nutroot blog from CBS.
Not that I agree with any of it, of course, but I see nothing wrong with CeeBS admitting where it is coming from by hosting far left, half rabid blogs like that one!
In fact, it shows that CeeBS is thinking of the future and giving net denizens what they want. Good marketing.
If they were to do one from the right, of course, that would be even better.
But, hey. CeeBS is admitting they support nutroot leftism. this is a good thing for their honesty at least.
I’m thinkin’ this guy has a picture of Judy Garland on his desk and secret pair of ruby slippers in his closet...just sayin’...
Dubious. Judy Garland was a woman. I’m pretty sure it’s a picture of Liberace.
Fred weights more than Hillary??? Need proof..
The journalist is a jerk. The fitting Madame Defarge comment was quoted from a Republican.
Hillary Clinton makes Fran Descher sound like Sarah Brightman.
Clinton is truly "cringeworthy".
We apparently are talking at cross purposes. Yes the name is very fitting and awesome for Hillary. My point is that the journalist who wrote the article didn’t call her that name but quoted a Republican. The author of the article is obviously supporting Hillary.
