Unassuming Fred
Neil Cavuto recently interviewed Fred Thompson about his announcement that has lymphoma. Neil wrote a follow-up to Fred’s visit, noting that Fred showed up alone:
Alone — no handlers, no enablers, no key people, no any people.
Just Fred, by himself.
And Gary and I are thinking, hey this guy is tracking sometimes second in GOP polls for president.
For president! Of the United States!!
And we’re looking for his entourage, his hangers-on, you know, the guy who holds his briefcase.
Another, his cell phone, still another his coat.
Someone who polices his words, advises him on statements to the press.
Nope. No briefcase guy. Or cell phone dude. No policy wonk or statement checker.
No people at all.
Get this: I had more people than he had people.
That should tell you something about the type of man that Fred Dalton Thompson is.
Of course, if he does run, it will mean 3 out of the 4 Republican front runners will have had cancer (Guliani had prostate cancer and McCain had skin cancer).
Wow, now there’s a type of spam bot I’ve never seen before…
