MR. RUSSERT: He was asked last night what would he do as president. He said, “Well, I’d do lots of things.” And asked, what if—“Are you prepared to talk about those?” He said, “No.” Obviously wanting to give time to frame his issues. You remember the 1994 Senate campaign when he ran for the Senate in Tennessee. Here he is with the famous red pickup truck. Is this going to be a, a campaign of a lot of style, a Hollywood actor saying, “I’m a good ol’ boy”?
Memo to Timmeh: Yes, that's exactly what this is going to be. Hey, Thompson says he's going to do "lots of things." Isn't that enough? I mean, whaddya want, anyway -- someone who actually KNOWS what's goin on in the world and has a PLAN to address the challenges this country faces? Why do that when he can put on a cowboy hat, or eat some ribs to show he's not some latte-drinking, Volvo-driving tree hugger from the Godless heathen Northeast? After all, real leadership, hard work, knowledge, and planning are SO September 10.
