A star-spangled Fred Thompson, the former presidential candidate, and his wife, Jeri, flew back from St. Paul to Washington today -- he in first class, she in coach; he in a red, white and blue top hat, she hatless. Nothing says 'convention' like a huge, American top hat. Thompson, who spoke Tuesday night at the GOP convention, was spotted at the gate of his Northwest flight in the Minneapolis-St....
"You know, I was pretty tuckered out after speaking at the Republican convention on Wednesday. Heck of a speech I gave, if I do say so myself. I think I was responsible for really firing up old Rudy, and Mitt actually sounded like a man who believed in something. Just an illusion, I realize, but he sounded damn good on the stage. And then that little barracuda Sarah, well, even though we know that...
In a 2008 revision of the Limbo dance, the dance often mistakenly attributed to Hawaii but having originated on the Island of Trinidad, the New York Times is proving “how low it can go”. Full Article ...
Graphic By Driftglass [click image for larger] Between the ideaAnd the realityBetween the motionAnd the actFalls the Shadow Andrew Sullivan pointed out that few at the Republican conference - and certainly not George Bush or Fred Thompson - seems to have been able to bring themselves to say outright that John McCain was tortured. Lots of descriptions of [...]
Tom Toles in the Washington Post : I confess that the more I think about this year's Republican National Convention, the more bizarre it seems. Just for example ... Speaker after speaker delivered the message that the Republicans want to run, one more time, against "Washington." In Fred Thompson 's version of this line, McCain and Palin are "going to drain that swamp" in Washington. Mitt Romney ,...

Last night's Google/ Vanity Fair RNC capper party didn't have the wattage of the DNC equivalent bash, which boasted guests from John Kerry to Susan Sarandon. Instead, we found ourselves milling around with Fred Thompson and Henry Kissinger (both of whom, tellingly, refused to talk about McCain's speech), and a whole bunch of exhausted reporters. It had been a long two weeks on the road. Politico.com's...

When Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson out-energize you, it may be time to not run for president. Although with deference to Rudy, he is fueled by unholy energies.
I'm not going to lie to you: The RNC was nowhere near as entertaining as the DNC. (Except as seen on The Daily Show.) Here are the all-star speakers from CSPAN's YouTube channel: George Bush (introduced by Laura Bush) , Fred Thompson , Joe Lieberman , Mike Huckabee , Rudy Giuliani , Sarah Palin , Lindsey Graham , Tom Ridge , Cindy McCain , John McCain . (Remember bloggers, embeds are not valid HTML....
or for that matter 2 black males? Or 1 white male and 1 black male. How about Fred Thompson? How about Leona Hemsley's dog? How about 2 white males, 2 blak males AND Leona Hemsley's dog. Why 2 young white females? That's the only way that the ad will have an impression on the target group....which would be southern GOP racists. for the record J.Dan, your name calling says more about you than about...
We have to trust John McCain to deal with this, because as you may have heard, he was a POW for five years. That doesn’t qualify him for president, according to Fred Thompson’s teleprompter, but still… FIVE YEARS! The unemployment rate soared in August and employers slashed jobs, as a weakening in the labor market accelerated. [...]
.. so says Big Fred Thompson, Lindsey "I'm not gay" Graham, and about every other Republican at the RNC. They also gleefully and childishly crowed about how no one ever used the code word "victory" at the Dem convention. Well, there you go! They want America to fail. Even though there's millions of them and they're all... Americans. Kind of makes no sense at all... but making sense isn't the Republican's...
photo credit: treviño From the time Fred Thompson stood up on Tuesday until Governor Palin sat down on Wednesday, the order of the day was red meat. Tonight was bread and butter issues. If there was one strategic mistake at the convention, it was that McCain spent his best speakers last night, and he spent Michael Steele [...]
I was a Fred Thompson supporter, and I wasn't so keen on McCain. However, tonight when McCain's video montage began, I admit that I got a little glistening in my eyes. Not because of the video itself but because I...
