Rethuglicon Debate: Fred Thomson's Goals

[spanone]

LOOK presidential and LOOK substantive......how in the HELL do you look 'substantive'?

"I think our goals are to look presidential and to build on this feeling that people feel comfortable with this notion of Fred Thompson as president," said Bill Lacy, Thompson's campaign manager. "And to look substantive."

1. "look substantive" - how pathetic . . .

but I sense that is all he needs to do. junior's swagger got him into the big-house.

3. i know, but i hope americans would lust for a small amount of intellectual curiosity

this ain't gonna come from fred, believe me

[DrDan]

14. or mitt, or hunter, or rudy, or . . .

not giants of intellect

2. I think Thompson should shoot for...

look like you're not about to keel over dead.

[niyad]

4. LOOK? how about actually BE? I think he misunderstands the word substantive-- should he wear a

padded suit to add to his girth?

6. Codpiece? n/t

I too am going to put on the appearance of having more substance! Brilliant.

10. He'll wear a stovepipe hat.

11. This should be fun.

.... watching him speak spontaneously without a script in front of him. He's the most willfully uninformed candidate there is.

I can see him now "Well .... there you go again ... Well ... there you go again ... Well ... there you go again ... ummm."

I might tune in just for the comic relief.

12. Should he appear in a flight suit with a giant codpiece.

[damntexdem]

13. I thought his major goal was just to get someone to applaud him.
