LOL - Fred Thompson: liberal bloggers "are in a state of panic" about Palin

[sabra]

Former Sen. Fred Thompson lambasted The New York Times for its coverage of Sarah Palin on Tuesday, claiming the newspaper is "trying their best to drag her down."

Thompson told Fox News that the Times has focused on Palin's children, saying, "I don't think they get it."

But Thompson also said the Times is not the only one who has had unfair coverage of Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) running mate, claiming liberal bloggers "are in a state of panic" about Palin.

Thompson touted Palin as a outsider, suggesting that some Washington Republicans are "sore" that McCain didn't pick an inside-the-Beltway politician.

He said Palin "excites people like I've never seen before."

:rofl:

1. I thought liberal bloggers were irrelevant.

At least that's what I'd heard about them for the past few years. :eyes:

It appears he hasn't read the comments on the blogs, or else he'd see that liberals are ecstatic, but at the same time being careful not to be too overconfident.

8. Fred, I wouldn't call it panic...more like blood in the water if you ask me

maybe the initial response was an "oh shit, this will fire up the fundies" but as this onion gets peeled, it is causing tears for the other side.

opinion.

19. Throw stones....

I am waiting to see on the monitor where someone got the idea to sell stones and get rich. I'm thinking of " The Life of Brian"...Should we focus so much, on Palin's character ? I wonder more and more, why MCCain did this. Was it to get the women to get in his line or is there more ? Mrs. Moose
