The gatekeeper's shame

Watch this and then ask yourself - where was this digging on then Sen. Obama (D-IL) and his history working with Acorn, Ayers, and his chicken-roost'n preacher?

Old news, perhaps. But when a woman who isn't even old enough to have a beer can do what she has done to the CINC's political baby - it just makes the legacy media seem even smaller than it is.

You love Fred ...

You know you do.

So sayeth Fred ...

I remember the mood this way...

Like this. Then Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN) 5 days after the attack.

Newt read CDR Salamander

Not really - but he knows the same history I do. Stealing from The Corner - look at the second half of this clip. Newt gets everything right.

Fred goes Foreign

Well, foreign policy.

From his London visit. All four videos can be seen here.

Your Fred fix

Can you see any of the Democrats having an interview like this - or answering like this?

I don't care if he does look like Frankenberry.

Cosmic convergence

Ben Franklin is one of my personal and philosophical heroes (read Fart Proudly if you need to know why). I find Fred Thompson a viable option for '08. The picture should tell you the rest.

Joe, you need an a55 whup'n

No class. I hope you appologize. Now. Soon. You're a Florida boy. He is from Tennessee. Florida boys have fishing poles and bongs. Tennessee boys have these.

SCARBOROUGH: Have you seen Fred Thompson’s wife?
CRAWFORD: Oh, yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: You think she thinks she works the pole?

Son, Keith Olbermann has been rubbing off on 'ya. "Works the pole." Stop stealing Skippy's punch lines.

Koran verse of the day

Sura 8 verse 65 of the Koran,

Allah told the Prophet Muhammad,

"O Prophet! Urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve... but if you're up against Fred Thompson, you're totally screwed and I can't help you."

Shift my flag to FDT?

Mitt, I'm sorry - but I think I would. We'll see what he does.

Catch up on your Fred reading here.

Like my old RMCS said the the RMs (I miss that rate) before going on liberty in Souda Bay in the 90s (almost) "Now; go get your Fred on!"

Why Fred Thompson

Tired of all the Republicans running for office. Fred Thompson might run - and the folks over at IMAO have a brief primer on the former Senator that is useful. Here is my Top 5 - you should read them all.

* Fred Thompson took over what was Al Gore's Senate seat, thereby dramatically reducing the Senate's carbon footprint. Fred Thompson then created carbon offset offsets by wastefully burning hippies.

* Fred Thompson once ended a filibuster by ripping out a Senator's heart and showing it to him before he died.

* The actual cause of global warming: Fred Thompson's burning rage.

* Fred Thompson vows not only to win in Iraq but also to forcefully free Vietnam from Communism, thus giving America a perfect win/loss record for wars again.

* When terrorists get to the afterlife, they'll find that none of their seventy-two women are still virgins. Why? Because of Fred Thompson.
