Fred Thompson considering run in '08'

[mvhyde]

The guy is honest and kept his promise not to be a career politician, what'd ya'll think?

I think an honest man can't win.

Fred has got himself one hot wife though, he'd never look twice at some trailer park bimbo or fat intern.

Never thought we'd hear you bust on Newt Gingrich. The man can't help himself. Good thing the Lord forgives.....

I like Fred Thompson (although I don't agree with his political positions) in that he's direct and seems to have kept his word and his positions straight. He has one albatross, though- he's one of Scooter's primary defenders. And regardless of whether perjury counts only with blowjobs, that's going to be a sordid connection with a White House that not many folks love. You think Clinton fatigue was tough- Bush fatigue is so bad that Jeb (who is eminently more qualified the W) won't even run.

In the end, BSOE is sadly right. Honest men can't make it to the top; the system is set up for the liars to win.

Speaking of politically active Law & Order actors, Sam Waterson just signed on with this group:http://www.unity08.com/believe

Now this is an interesting proposition - a truly center / moderate platform. I could get on board with this, because the extremes in either party are so unappealing.

My Daddy the Dancer

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living.

All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.

However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, My father's an exotic dancer and takes off his clothes in front of other people and they put money in his underwear.”

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"

"No," the boy said, "He works for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
