Conservatives Love Bumbling Idiots

All around the blogosphere yesterday Fred Thompson was being bashed for not knowing about a crucial issue in Florida concerning drilling in the Everglades. The man simply had no clue there was even oil down there. It's official, he's clueless. Yet we already know this, and we also know many conservatives do not read up on details like these. Tennessee is far from Florida and for Fred that is just too far.

Who cares if he was a Senator at the time President Bush set aside funds to protect the area, Fred was obviously not paying attention then and it seems nothing has changed since 2002. I really wonder if he wants to do this at all sometimes. His lack of energy for the campaign is quite noticeable.

Though I think that does not matter to the people behind Fred. Conservatives see him as their Ronald Reagan just as liberals try vainly to see Bobby Kennedy in Barack Obama. Message to both sides, they will never be your heroes. There was only one Bobby Kennedy, he died way before his time and what looked like his eventual Presidency that would have changed the course our nation ended up going on. As for a new Reagan....thank god no one will ever be like that moron. He started this movement to ruin our country and now we have Georgie trying to finish us off.

So, everyone is looking for a hero, I understand that, but Fred is definitely not it, not even close.
