Angry old white man
Thompson's speech was terrible. It might have been red meat for the righties, but it exaggerated and lied about McCain's service. McCain, by his own account, volunteered to give military secrets to the North Vietnamese if they would take him to a hospital (which they did) and then signed a confession in order to be freed by the Vietnamese. I'm not faulting McCain for that. God knows, most people would have done the same. But, McCain was no different than anyone else.

And Thompson's attacks and insults on Obama were just so negative and rude. Unlike the Democrats who did pay tribute to McCain's service, Thompson was nothing but bitter and negative. I hope the Obama campaign hits the Republicans hard for trying to drag the campaign down into the gutter.

2. Put down the crack pipe.
Tomorrow, all the morning news shows will laud Fred for his BRILLIANT speech, and question why he wasn't their nominee after all.

(Oh, and just kidding in the sub line).
