Here's Fred!

You've got to love this Thomas Beaumont piece on Fred Thompson in the Des Moines Register.

The key repeating babbling point for the media seems to be that Thompson took forever in announcing his candidacy.

Did you hear that? Thompson took forever in announcing his candidacy. Did you hear that? Thompson took forever in announcing his candidacy. Did you hear that? Thompson took forever in announcing his candidacy. Did you hear that? Thompson took forever in announcing his candidacy. Did you hear that?

OK! Shut up! We get it.

David Yepsen clearly hates Fred Thompson, what with all the bashing he's been doing lately. Hey, Dave, why don't you go back to carrying water for Chet Culver? Loser.

Meanwhile, the other Republican candidates have been spinning their wheels in Iowa for months, if not years. Romney only paid for his straw poll showing, McCain fired his entire staff, and Giuliani has gotten absolutely nowhere. During this time, Fred went from nothing to around 20% in the polls by merely having his name floated. Obviously, he's doing this Presidential thing all wrong by not wasting millions of dollars and tons of everybody's time in Iowa.

How dare this actor/lobbyist not bore Iowans with the same old stump speech! Gee, and the election is only 14 months away. How are you people ever going to figure out what Fred Thompson stands for in so little time?

You know, I miss Krusty Konservative. I wonder what he's thinking about Fred running?
