"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.
Good voice and Good substance to boot!!
That goes for FRed as well as Ronnie!!
Oh, damn, she ought not wear skirts above the ankles. You’d think with all her money, she could buy a new set of decent looking ones.
Hillary is a short pathetic woman, she has no dignity and she hides that fact with her mean personality. One thing about Fred, he is calm, dignified, and appears to be an enlightenend individual and it is impressive. In contrast to Hillary’s shrill undignified bitchy approach, the contrast will be something to behold. That much is true.
Before she has any chance of ‘eviscerating’ Fred, she has to first actually answer a question.
Almost as ridiculous as voting FOR Hillary because of her gender, isn't it?
