Over at the Washington Post, this is what passes for political commentary:
In the swampy soup of hopefuls for the 2008 presidential election, there is a man with a funny name. (No, not that one.)
We’re thinking of the one named Fred (Thompson).
Say it out loud. Do it. Fred. Fred. In the South, Fray-ud.
Fur-red-duh.
It has the tonal quality of something being dropped on the floor, something heavy and damp-ish.
Waterlogged paper towel.
[…]
. . . He goes by Fred. Going by Fred, he still has amassed a clan of pitter-patter, all-a flutter followers.
Is this the best that lefty-writers can do?
Speaking of which, the author’s first name is Monica. Now what does a name like that conjure up?

Obviously, that so-called journalist was directed to produce “filler.”
So. Filled with utter nonsense.

I think she is writing to her utmost level of competence. Obviously the WAPO hires the handicapped and they are to be respected for it. However, I don’t think they should necessarily let the mentally handicapped write articles. But hey, it’s their paper.

It is absolutely amazing how much negative publicity someone who has not even declared his candidacy yet can receive. I mean, good Lord… the lefties are going to explode the presses if he ever gets around to actually saying, “Yeah, I am going to run.”
