"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.
BTTT
She shows that whenever she speaks. The trick is to epose her for the Marxist-socialist she really is.

Kevin Drum (born October 19, 1958) is an American political blogger and columnist. He was born in Long Beach, California and now lives in Irvine, California. He has a degree in journalism from California State University, Long Beach. Currently, he writes daily on the prominent blog Political Animal, published by the liberal magazine Washington Monthly, and has done so since March 2004. He also writes occasional op-eds in newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. He rose to prominence through the popularity of his (now-defunct) independent liberal blog CalPundit (2003-2004). His blog is known for suppoirting peak oil theory and related issues. In an interview with Norman Geras he stated that his intellectual heroes were FDR, Isaac Newton, John Maynard Keynes, Edward R. Murrow and Charles Darwin. He also considers Benjamin Franklin his all-time favorite political hero.
As for the 2003 Iraq War, probably the number one topic of political bloggers, he was originally in favor of the American led war but right before the U.S. launched the attack he came out against it. He said, “Before the war started I switched to opposition on practical grounds (i.e., that George Bush’s approach was incapable of accomplishing the goals it was meant to accomplish). Since then, I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that, in fact, I should have opposed it all along on philosophical grounds: namely that it was a fundamentally flawed concept and had no chance of working even if it had been competently executed.”

LOL! He sounds hysterical.
So she asked a “leading figure in the Iowa Republican Party,”
“I also want to know, what the heck is a jockocracy?”
The athletic guys in high school “reporter” Kevin Drum made a pass at: (a) who either turned him down and told him about Christ and/or God and/or both helping him with his sin or (b) preceded to beat him silly.
The most disgusting woman in the history of The United States of America writ large BUMP!
Liberal bias or not Fred’s calm and solid body mannerisms will overshadow Hillary to the point she will appear as a shrill spoiled child.
I bet we’ll see unusual camera angles and forced perspective to make him look smaller and her larger.

Kevin Drum sure has drunk deeply from the Clintonista well, hasn’t he?
Sheesh.
Fred will dribble Hillary down the court and take a three point shot. HE SCORES!
jockocracy??
Sounds like a primal case of penis envy to me.
“If elected Fred Thompson will be the tallest President ever. Beating Lincoln by over an inch and Jimmy Carter with his fists.”
Plus, I love Fred’s speaking voice (I know, silly me!).
I also loved President Reagan’s speaking voice and the wit, wisdom and clarity with which he spoke.
