Iowa>>Thompson: No Woman Ought To Be President Next Year

[Zynx]

1. Disgusting.

That's all I can say.

[DinahMoeHum]

2. Fuck Thompson and the horse's ass he came out of.

While I'm not crazy about Hillary (and I don't know who I will vote for in the primary until I'm actually in the booth), she'd still be a thousand times better than any Republikkkan candidate out there.

:kick:

[youthere]

4. Now now, I've seen what comes out of horse's asses....

and trust me, Fred Thompson is not nearly as attractive.

[zabet]

3. Fred does not realize how many

countries (except the US) have had women
leaders. *disclaimer-not a Hillary supporter,
even though the comment was aimed at her, it
is offensive to women in general.

6. And he could have just pushed some more women towards Hillary........nm

[zabet]

9. He very well could have.

A lot of undecided voters
out there, myself included.

[SoxFan]

10. Good post

Fred's becoming a sad joke. I'll take Janet Napolitano, Kathleen Sebelius, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, or Barbara Mikulski over Thompson any day of the week.

[zabet]

15. Thank you..

There are many great women
in politics. Fred is a sexist
pig dinosaur.

[saltpoint]

12. It's likely Fred doesn't realize that there are that many countries, period.

Fred doesn't seem terribly cerebral to me.

[zabet]

17. If it was not in a script,

it is highly likely
Fred has not heard of it.

[FormerDittoHead]

5. Oh, let the loser speak. Let him suck up Republican time. n/t

[tulsakatz]

7. someone sent this to me last night........

...and from the moment I saw it, I thought it was a ridiculous statement!

It should offend every single woman who hears about it.

[saltpoint]

8. What a sparkling addition to the 2008 race Fred Thompson has been.

Just sparkling.

[zabet]

11. That is not sparkles

you see, it is dust flying
off of his wrinkly old self.
:D

[saltpoint]

13. ! LOL! Dust specks and a couple dried-up crystals of after-shave.

[zabet]

14. Aqua Velva man fer sure!

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

16. Hey there citizen_jane. Good to see ya. I hope the

holidays were good for you. We're closing in fast on the first votes that signal the end of the Bush administration!

Happy 2008.

[zabet]

18. Whassup!!1 Crusoe!!

Holidays were good for me. I am getting
so excited about the upcoming first votes
to the beginning of the end of Bushco, that
will be better than any present I could ever
get.
Happy 2008 to you to and may many good things
come to you and yours in this upcoming year!
:hi: :pals:

[Infinite Hope]

19. Without saying Clinton's name, he said -- quote -- "There is no woman on the horizon that ought...

Without saying Clinton's name, he said -- quote -- "There is no woman on the horizon that ought to be president next year, let's all agree on that."

He was speaking only about Clinton in saying there's no woman on the *horizon*...To Clinton supporters, this remains "disgusting," but lets not do as Republicans and the media do: gloss over an issue on a superficial level by not analyzing the exact context of quotes.

[CK_John]

20. Wonder what he knew about Bhutto? n/t

[Cheap_Trick]

21. neither should a washed-up, has-been actor

we already had one of those..and he sucked big time.

[bullwinkle428]

22. The assnozzle also added that "Hillary will bring back the welfare state" -

hey, Fred - the 1970s called, and they want their Republican talking points back!!!

[Lucinda]

23. Good. His comments may just help Hillary and every other woman running for office.

Who thought this idiot should run in the first place...jeeeez.

[BenDavid]

24. fred, fred the plans all dead. You go ahead and drop out so

you can begin appearing in republican circles so you can be introduced as "former presidential candidate fred thompson"...but fred i tell ya my friend, If I had a dog with a face likes yours I would shave its ass and make him walk backwards.
