Seriously, how long is this shtick going to hold?
Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson gave no opinion Thursday when asked about efforts by President Bush and Congress to keep Terri Schiavo alive, saying he does not remember details of the right-to-die case that stirred national debate.
Thompson was asked in an interview for Bay News 9’s “Political Connections” program whether he thought Congress’ intervention to save the life of the brain-dead woman two years ago was appropriate.
“I can’t pass judgment on it. I know that good people were doing what they thought was best,” Thompson said. “That’s going back in history. I don’t remember the details of it.”
History? That was TWO YEARS ago. I know that those hazy, sepia-toned days of 2005 are barely recalled at all (does Google even go back that far?), but I think a candidate for President should have a memory that goes a bit beyond that morning’s breakfast.
We already have a President with absolutely no sense of history. This candidate has no sense of CURRENT history. Don’t ask Freddie about the Petraeus hearings, I mean, that was MONDAY.

Of COURSE there is a rational explanation. Next time Fred makes a campaign appearance, look for the unmarked white van out front. Inside — and you mark my words on this — will be Ashton Kutcher. Think about it. A b-list celeb put in a series of awkward and increasingly outlandish situations so he can make a fool of himself over and over again with no apparent awareness of how stupid he looks — tell me that isn’t a sure tip-off for an episode of Punked. It must be for the season finale. And this time the joke is on you, serious web-based political analysts!

Maybe he should take some time off and get his stances figures out…. what was he doing all that time he was preparing to run. Dieting? Hiring and Firing? Okay those take time,but really.
[...] Thompson Says He Doesn’t Recall Details of Schiavo issue. [...]
Something to say?
Dude, there’s a totally rational explanation for this.
Fred has only one principle: Federalism. Seriously, go to his website. He only has one principle.
Since Terry Shiavo’s case has nothing to do with Federalism, Fred doesn’t have any knowledge or opinions about it.
Oh, wait, Terry Shiavo’s case was actually all about Federalism, the right of the state’s versus the federal government.
Ok, sorry, I got nothin. This guy is dumber than I thought.
