Surely I'm not the only one who's amused by the fact Fred Thompson has risen to the top of the polls as the GOP's latest, greatest hope to win the presidential nomination. This is how bad it is for the Republicans: the best they can do is a former Senator and current mediocre actor, out of politics for years, about whom it has been said lacks the "fire in the belly" required of anybody who hopes to endure a hard and draining campaign. And he was a member of Scooter Libby's legal defense team. Those are some solid credentials. The Republican field is so bad Hillary might actually win.
And what is it about the GOP and bad, old actors? Can't they at least find a bad actor who's younger? Is Tom Cruise too liberal, too whacky, or not a bad enough actor? I guess they can't tap Arnold the "Governator" because he's not a natural born citizen. What about Bruce Willis? I hear he's available.
So Giuliani's director of Southern States used to frequent hookers. His South Carolina campaign manager is under indictment for cocaine possession. Methinks Rudy has some judgement issues.
Did everybody catch Michael Moore's act on CNN yesterday with Wolf Blitzer? The guy came completely unhinged, although watching Blitzer squirm as he got broadsided by Moore was priceless. It's no wonder Moore doesn't get more live interviews -- you never know what wierd tangent he's going to veer into. Seriously, Blitzer, among many in the mainstream media, should feel ashamed at the way they cheerleaded the Bush administration in its run-up to war. The 'fourth branch" failed us big time.
