Are you folks as stupefied as I am that a speaker as scintillating as

[saltpoint]

Fred Thompson isn't the GOP nominee?

What charisma he has.

[valerief]

1. He's hilarious!

[hisownpetard]

2. What a personality he needs.

[saltpoint]

5. LOL!

[eleny]

3. I say - another 5 minutes and they'll carry him off in a stretcher

[MichaelHarris]

4. McBoils

under his arm pits.

[rxdem84]

6. It's like listening to your grandpa tell stories you have heard

two thousand times before

[susanna]

15. That's about it for me, and I draw the line at 1,999 times LOL.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

[rxdem84]

26. Thanks! I have come out of lurk mode. The Palin drama was

too much. I had to stop lurking.

[susanna]

27. Watch out, you'll get addicted LOL. :-)

[BeyondGeography]

7. The periodic throat clearing is a nice touch

[hisownpetard]

16. The constant undercurrent of a thick wave of phlegm...

[demo dutch]

22. I thought that's a sign of lying

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

8. The scent of aqua velva must be overpowering in there

[saltpoint]

12. I bet you're right. Back in their hotel rooms tonight, delegates will have to

sit naked in a tub of tomato juice to break the stench.

[demo dutch]

24. That's a good one!

[Bobbie Jo]

9. So...has he moved anyone to tears yet?

[saltpoint]

10. Not sure, but sveral of the GOP delegates in the hall have slumped

over on the floor into catatonia.

I think Bill Frist has been contacted via video link to have a look at them...

[Raine]

23. Oh for sure

tears of boredom. :boring:

[mwb970]

11. Pabulum, poorly delivered. /nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. You must admit that the way he mashes his lips together when he makes a point is thrilling

Every time he makes a point, he mashes his lips together right after. Or maybe he's just trying to keep the upper part of his face from sliding down onto his neck?

[saltpoint]

14. Either theory seems plausible to me. But I'm inclined toward the second!

[TeeYiYi]

18. He's trying to keep his chompers in his mouth. ...nt

TYY

[Tatiana]

17. I've actually found his speech/rambling quite entertaining! n/t

[Raine]

19. PLEASE get him a glass of water

his throating clearing is all that is keeping anyone awake. :boring:

[AlCzervik]

20. I wonder what brand of self tanner Fred Thompson drinks? That's all i got from this

whole speech.

[demo dutch]

21. Let's say, POW, USA, USA, USA, Por-life, War, War, War! Any substance! No!

[saltpoint]

25. Substance was found to be a disagreeable additive to GOP political events

some time back now.

I doubt if any living Republican can remember the last time there was any substsance to Republican Party events.

I sure can't.
