Reply #21: Basset hound face a threat? [View All]

[snowbear]

Up against at least three of our candidates, the droopy jowls old fart would be toast.

If you notice, the ugly thuglies keep using some of his older photos at the height of Law and Order. He looks even more unhealthy and as Bill Maher called him "basset hound-faced" than he did in all of the photos that they use.



If Gravel, Kucinich, or the one of our candidates with high negatives (I get too many people ticked when I mention that candidate's name), the old dude might have a chance. But as the campaign goes on and Democrats realize the risks in selecting the right candidate, I'm not worried about the wrong person being nominated.


Republicans sound so desperate wanting this crusty fart in it's hilarious!


Bill Maher on Hardball last week~

MAHER: Basset hound-faced Fred Thompson is their great charismatic hope.

And I guess it‘s because, you know, the Republican Party has this campy fixation with all things Ronald Reagan. I mean, it is almost gay, the way they love this man, and the way they can‘t stop talking about him and obsessing about him. And they are always looking for the next Ronald Reagan.

Bush, they thought, might turn out to be that one. But, of course, that did not go too well. So, now they‘re looking for the next Ronald Reagan.

But the problem for them is that Ronald Reagan ran, of course, always on optimism and hope. And he was sunny and cheerful. But the only thing the Republicans can run on now is the opposite, fear. That is the only card they have in their deck. It is a false card, but that is the only card they can play.

They can‘t run on their record. They can‘t run on people on—on them being fiscally responsible people. They can‘t even really run...

MATTHEWS: Yes.

MAHER: ... on fighting terrorism, because the public doesn‘t think they are good at that now either.

But they can run on the idea that there is a wolf at the door, and we‘re the only people who know how to kill it...

MATTHEWS: Yes.

MAHER: ... even though that is wrong and crazy.

MATTHEWS: You know, the sad thing is, Bill—sad—you get a lot of truth to that, Bill, but the sad thing is, that is what Gore ran on against Bush, fear, fear of what he would do to the economy, fear of everything that would go wrong, the lockbox and all that. And it didn‘t work, didn‘t sell, did it?

MAHER: Well, fear—fear of economy is one thing. Fear of your life is...

MATTHEWS: Yes.

MAHER: ... a little something different.
