Fred TV: Pundits Lower Expectations For Thompson.



Part 2.

From TPM Horse’s Mouth:


CHUCK TODD, NBC POLITICAL DIRECTOR: No, I`ll say this. Here`s the good thing that "SNL" did...

MATTHEWS: Right.

TODD: ... for Thompson is that the expectation bar is below the floor for him. I mean, if he just shows up and doesn`t drool, we`re going to say, Well, you know, that`s a better performance than I thought.

MATTHEWS: You really think we`re going to do that? That`ll be the day!

TODD: No, but I think...

MATTHEWS: You think standards are going to drop because the PR has dropped?

TODD: Look, I think -- this happens every time. Bush did it with Gore. Remember? Bush said, Oh, Gore`s going to clobber me. He`s -- you know, he`s the best debater that there`s been in a generation. And Bush won...

MATTHEWS: OK.

TODD: ... won the spin war.

The GOP is positioning itself for the fall out so they will be able to say that wasn't their man anyway. Now if Fred found a brain and some knowledge in the past 24 hours and comes across as human. The GOP will sing that's our man we told you so give him alot of money. But what about Rudy and Mitt well kick them out. Rudy a cross dresser and Mitt represents only the Rich Americans. Mitt will bring back the two party system of rich and poor. Minorities will be kept in the lower class. Rudy will have a gay White House with prostitutes as appointees and Vitter will be smiling all the time. Finger Foley will get his job back and love the children again. Cheney will be Vice President to continue the War for Oil. Wolfie will be back with Rummy soon following. Things will be like they were in 2000 the old gang back again to continue the GOP work. Boner will have to step down so DeLay can come back to Hammer away. Scooter will be in his old job but making more money. Taxes for the people will go up to cover the spending. Al Gonzales with be the contractor for fruit and veggies to make up for them kicking him out. Clarence will still live the depressed life and wish he hadn't sold out.
