ACarp is smokin’ hot.

[Luke21]

Wow!!!! What a woman!!!

[beckysueb]

I think Laura Ingram would make a good press secretary. Or maybe Megan Kelly.

[hout8475]

Thank you. I was about to mention that.

"CBS News does not endorse any candidate in the presidential race,” the network said in a statement. “Any use of CBS personnel in political advertising that suggests the contrary is misleading.”

Gotta give credit where credit is due: They've got a terrific sense of humor. That was REALLY funny.

[ovrtaxt]

Oh my!!

“I didn’t realize that the mainstream media considered winning the Revolutionary War and freeing the slaves to be political events,” Thompson told Townhall. “But, nevertheless, it just occurs to me that this woman went from the PTA to becoming the vice presidential nominee, and along the way became Governor; took on and defeated the entrenched powers, the big oil companies, her own state party chairman, [and] an incumbent Republican governor while reforming the energy policies for Alaska to the benefit of the entire country. If she’d been a liberal woman doing all this, CBS and the other networks would already be fighting over the rights to create a television series about her.”

Ah, Fred. Please stay involved in politics. We desperately need your wisdom and perspective.

[Beagle8U]

No, Brit Hume should get press secretary. Fred can be AG or USSC!

CBS: Where is Dan Rather when we need him?

[ExTexasRedhead]

IMO, the GOP has been too soft for far too long. Take the gloves off and climb in the gutter where these Liberals live and breed and fight them using their tactics back on them. That includes Liberals like Letterman, who trashes Republicans every night, and the likes of Okrah and her Liberal friends. I refuse to watch and spend my hard-earned money on these pathetic entertainers who use their shows like an extentsion of the DNC. Tell their sponsors that we’re turning them off permanently.

[freekitty]

I never watch those shows. They are dumb.

CBS News does not endorse any candidate in the presidential race

The network displays considerable chutzpah in saying that and at the same time endorsing John Bentley’s analysis of Fred Thompson’s words. Perhaps CBS is convinced their listeners are not able to recognize reality.

When CBS has the courage to state that CBS News does not endorse or oppose any candidate in the presidential race John Bentley’s analysis will be worth consideration.

I love it too! It came out after Dan Rather was exposed. I wish I knew how to update it...so much more has happened since then!

[presently no screen name]

I enjoyed it the way it was - it was a good refresher course! It would be good to have many more w/updates. We would need a library of them.

Again, thanks for posting it.

[presently no screen name]

Good post! Never watch the paid propagandists either. I don’t open my mind or home to evil.

Supreme Court Justice!!! Can you imagine!

You want somebody younger, who will stay on the Supreme Court for at least a couple of decades. Now, Attorney General Thompson has possibilities.

[agincourt1415]

I say Fred as Supreme Court Justice or Secty of Defense, or State.

Make it so!

[FlashBack]

SCJ Thompson...I LIKE IT!!
