Well, he seems to be hitting his stride where Huckabee is concerned. Ouch!
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- At a news conference that just wrapped up, Fred Thompson was asked what he thought of Mike Huckabee drawing a blank when asked about recent reports about the National Intelligence Estimate re: Iran.
"Not only is Iran the major long-term threat to our country, the nuclear program is the most important part of the Iran consideration. For a presidential candidate not to know that and not to keep up with that is very suprising(sic)," said Thompson.
"These are the kinds of things I've been talking about all of my life. Now, if the American people have other priorities, if they want someone who smiles a lot more than I do, or someone who is a better quipster than I am, who has no experience in these areas, that's for the American people to decide."
Thompson is now en route to Davenport, Iowa.
Let someone get a jump in the polls and apparently all the knives come out. And I agree with Allah, the unforced error as regards the NIE was not, as they say, helpful. The report did not exist for four years. What's he trying to do, give the Lefty blogs talking points? Geesh!
Wow, when Fred wakes up from his naps - watch out! He is a part time force to be reckoned with.

Whippersnapper? Well, it's Ripvonsurrendrcrat from Stamford making an appearance. Does this mean it's 2013?

Nah... the Major (at approx. 165 years of age) is one of my alter egos I've resurrected to haunt the ineffable Boob and his silliness.
And I say he is ineffable, because there really isn't much of an explanation for the Boob beyond his being a red diaper doper baby.

Speaking of resurrections, any idea why your God hates midwestern mall shoppers so much?

God doesn't hate anybody Bob. Not even you.
We - through our father Adam -brought sin and death into this world.
Unfortunately, we usually do not get to choose the time and manner of our death - only that it is inevitable, and that after that comes judgment. (Hebrews 9:27)
Speaking of the Judgment Day, Bob...
... Are you ready to give an account of yourself to Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ, who loves and created your soul?
