Fred Thompson: Senator, Actor, Blogger

Fred Thompson is now blogging at Red State. This sucks. I was in negotiation to get him to blog here. He was all set to take over Laurence Simon’s duties of cat-blogging, but I guess Red State stole him out from under me.
Anyway, Fred Thompson wrote about the hostage situation and it sounds like an actual blog post — i.e., a frank opinion on the situation instead of carefully parsed politician speak. If there’s one thing our country needs today, it’s frankness.

Duncan Hunter’s Appeal to the Blogosphere

He’s talking to us!

I don’t think Hunter will have much of a chance unless something major happens with the other candidates, but it does raise the question: Who should be Fred Thompson’s running mate?
I think Hunter would be good. A Thompson/Hunter ticket would convince liberals that the Republicans are out to physically hurt them, and that’s just the message we want to convey.
