Barak: Wah, wah, wah.

Hillary: Wah, wah, wah

“Yes you did.”

“No I didn’t”

For god sakes, are these two whiners ever going to shut-up and talk about real problems that real people face. This two-way pissing match may be interesting to the “inside the beltway gang”, but I find it nauseating.

“Where have you gone Freddie Thompson? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you”. I’ll admit it. I’m a big Fred Thompson fan. And I’ve been a big Fred Thompson fan for a long time, going way back to his days as a U.S. senator from Tennessee. He’s smart, he’s conservative, he’s a straight-shooter and he has substance and depth. I’ll grant you he is not a household name even with his role on NBC’s Law & Order. I doubt most people could tell you much about him. I can and I will in future posts.

What I don’t understand is why he hasn’t announced yet. He’s got catching up to do. I just hope he doesn’t have a Mario Cuomo skeleton in his closet. We’ve come a long way baby, but we still expect our leaders to be better than us, or at least be smart enough to package themselves better than us.

The good news for the Thompson camp is that he is a powerful public speaker, he’s physically imposing and has boatloads of stage presence. That’s the superficial stuff. I’ll talk more about his political views in coming days. But for now, just know he is the real deal and I believe he has a better than even chance of winning it all if he puts the right team together and plays himself. Whiners watch out!
