Fred Thompson rocks

I got sent this a few days ago but I'm not sure the UK blogosphere has seen it yet. Bloody brilliant. Fred Thompson isn't a candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination yet but could join the race. He criticised Michael Moore for going to Cuba and defending Castro's dictatorship. Moore missed the point and responded by challenging Thompson to a healthcare debate and accusing him of breaking the law by smoking Cuban cigars. This was Thompson's response, cigar in hand:



Moore's counter is so utterly joyless. It confirms the brilliance of Thompson's little video:

"Why would a potential presidential candidate provide photographic evidence of himself committing a felony?" the director told us last night before he showed his film to the 9/11 workers he'd brought to Cuba. "Someone should tell him that 'Law & Order' isn't just a TV show, it's real life. I hope the federal government will take the proper and necessary actions against him for violating the law."

Err, me, The Times?

Ha! New job. I haven't been keeping up to date properly. That statement was poorly advised given how out of touch I am.

My dad showed me this a couple of days ago.

I just about fell out of my chair.
