FRed Ping!
I was at a CTIA show in 1998 or 1999 and George and Barbara Bush were the speakers.
I sure hope we’ll get a youtube of this- I miss Fred every day.
FRed ping!
“I miss Fred every day.”
Me too =(
You might want to change that to “08” in the title... I thought it was a very old article...
I guess you better send me an updated list, if you think it’s necessary.
I like seeing my friends get together occasionally. :)
edwards must have lost the scent of whatever ambulance he was chasing, and stumbled onto another way to make a buck.
I have an emotional time just drinking from my “I’m with Fred” coffee mug... :-(
Absolutely. I tried to get more “Don’t Blame Me: I voted for Fred” stickers and a FRedhead hat, and they are out of stock.
I hope they get more. Otherwise, I will have to give a bit of money to the wacko liberal CafePress.
Ugh, that one hit me square in the gut. Dammit it....just dammit.
Hiya PM:) I’m grinning just thinking of the contrast between Fred and Edwards...can’t wait to see/hear their speeches!
John Edwards and Fred Thompson to Deliver CTIA WIRELESS 2008 Keynotes...
Now it makes sense.
It’ll be like Winston Churchill VS Howdy Doody.
Bwahahaha!!
ROFL- excellent comparison!!!
What the hell is John Edwards going to say? Is he going to tell that story of how his father the mill-worker went to the Verizon store and after looking at cell phone and service prices, he had to tell the family they couldn’t afford one?
I still have Fred stickers on my Jeep ... left, right, and rear. My Fred 08 yard sign has survived the winter and still graces the side of my driveway. And, I wore my "I'm with Fred" lapel pin to the wake of a friend who died recently (his name was Fred) ... got some looks, but he would have understood.
Gosh, wish I had a “Fred”cup ....I sure do miss him also....he was the man, as far as I’m concerned...and he still is...makes me sick to think what we’re left with to listen to all summer...sorry...I tune them all out,none have anything to say that interests me...no thanks.
Same thing Fred is going to say, much of nothing! These are the last 2 minds that I think of when it comes to technology! Edwards reminds me of hair spray and Fred doesn't remind me of anything of real significance, much like his campaign!
