Thompson did co-chair McCain in 2000. McCain was also endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans.

Yeah, I remembered that. I also remember all the articles about them being allies in the Senate and voting the same on many issues. I don't think I've seen Fred comment on the LCRs, has he? They seem to still take many of the same positions, with the exception of Fred's recent take on immigration.

It just seems like if neither gain steam, there might be some new alliances forged.

Fred just started, and Rudy hasn’t been outed yet.

The McCain table at our Republican Executive Committee is faithfully tended by the goofiest masculine looking overweight ex MP, lonely woman that I have ever seen.

Real life cannot be scripted.

>>>I don’t think I’ve seen Fred comment on the LCRs, has he?

Robert Traynham was on Fred’s campaign for a bit. There are rumors on blogs that Traynjam is still seen with the Thompson campaign while they travel. Robert Traynham was named to some czar type position with the Log Cabin Republicans back in December 2006.

And lately, real life can’t be distinguished from The Onion.

The liberal media is just trying to build up the FUD factor for Fred.

The media has much to fear.

I’m sorry, I assumed you knew The Onion. It is a parody newspaper.

I’m trying to figure out what the headline has to do with the article.

It was a typo.

Wife gives foot-dragger Fred Thompson a shove shave in the White House.

>> The problem is that she is regarded as keener on victory than he is.

So this is both a problem and fact?

The liberal media is just trying to build up the FUD factor for Fred.

Judging from what I have seen, and the behind the scenes reports that I have gotten, they will not have to try too hard. Even a stopped watch is correct twice a day.

Don’t be sorry, how were you to know my posts have many layers?

Just a guess.

Not a very good one. At most one of those says anything negative about Fred, and it isn't sourced. Just the same old "unnamed former aids" stuff that you thrive on.
