Freddie on Fox

Just saw the interview on Hannity and Colmes with Fred Thompson in a replay. He was the real winner of the Republican debate.

One of the things that draws me to Fred is his basic horse sense and the no nonsense manner in which he speaks of America at a crossroads. It definitely is. He's not very telegenic and he's not particularly slick in speech--I don't even care much for his acting abilities--but he's saying the things the others aren't but should be.

In some ways he comes across as the wise uncle or grandfather among a bunch of children, perhaps oversimplified but perhaps who we need now. If he runs.

MORE 6/6/7

Video of the interview at Hot Air, in case you're among the .0005 percent of surfers who come here before going there.

As an aside, while there don't miss this exchange between Hitchens and Hedges. Speaking of which, it's too bad we couldn't have seen Hitchens versus Hitchens on stage, in which case I'd be forced to root simultaneously for and against both of them in alternating fashion.
