Crooks and Liars:
Oy. 26 minutes, 72 throat clearings (phlegm count courtesy of Keith Olbermann) and a whole lotta yawns. But what can you expect when the theme of last night’s RNC was “Service: The Courage and Service of John McCain”? Really? That’s the best they could come up with?
Some Washington pundits and media big shots are in a frenzy over the selection of a woman who has actually governed rather than just talked a good game on the Sunday talk shows and hit the Washington cocktail circuit. Well, give me a tough Alaskan Governor who has taken on the political establishment in the largest state in the Union - and won - over the beltway business-as-usual crowd any day of the week.
Does that sound to you like Thompson is suggesting that Biden is a DC Partier? Biden, the man, who by all account, takes the train to and from DC to Delaware to be with his family each night? You stay classy, Fred. Besides, we all know what an “outsider” Palin is turning out to be
But with the convention theme centering around John McCain’s service, it was inevitable that McCain’s time as a POW would be discussed, in painstaking detail. But Fred let something slip, perhaps unintentionally, that I think Dems should run with: (h/t Mark Nickolas)
Now, being a POW certainly doesn’t qualify anyone to be President.
But it does reveal character.
I'm not sure if part of the Washington cocktail circuit is in reference of Biden. But if so, it is a cheap shot from reading Biden's bio. But, I have to admit that Fred sounded more lively than he did running as a Presidential candidate. Maybe it is because Fred found employment after being pitched out from his Law and Order gig.
