Clowns and fools and Fred

Watched, as much as I could stomach anyway, the Republican debate on CNN tonight. Except for my man Fred, a collection of weasels and jerks. The fact that they're all middle-aged white men is not an excuse...

Rudi Guliani: may be out of the race anyway because of 'secret' funding as mayor; overrated for his 'efforts' after 9.11 in any case.
Mike Huckabee: another ex-governor wanting to move up; doesn't have what it takes; we don't want another president from Arkansas anyway.
Duncan Hunter: how any politician from California can afford to be against illegal immigration I don't know, but it's interesting that he tries; but he's another anti-abortion clown, so he needs to go down for that alone.
John McCain: been there, done that, got the t-shirt; go back to Arizona, John.
Ron Paul: they're kidding, right... If he was a Democrat, he'd be Dennis Kucinich.
Mitt Romney: Mormon clown, and a real stick; he's not the worst politician out of Massachusetts (the Kennedys having retired that title permanently), but he's close enough.
Tom Tancredo: no one takes anyone from Colorado seriously, and he's no exception; he says he doesn't believe in evolution and, in his case, he may be right.
Fred Thompson: looks and acts the part; if people open their eyes, maybe he'll go all the way.
All in all, not the best and the brightest, except for Fred...
But between the novelty of electing, for the first time as president, a woman, a black guy, or a guy named Fred, well, I'll take Fred.
