Fred Thompson was on H&C tonight, and I thought this was one of his best performances ever. Perhaps it was because it was off-the-cuff and not scripted. Whichever it is, I liked it. I’m leaning more towards Fred than I was comfortable doing so before. In this case, Fred is not at a loss for immediate answers, and that’s what we need in a leader in these consequential times.

He’s a plain-spoken man, and I like that. There’s something to be said for laid-back genuineness.

You can either watch the flash video above, or download the .wmv video here. (My apologies, the flash video I had above wasn’t working.)
