New plan: impeach President Bush, have then-President Cheney appoint Fred Thompson Vice President, have Dick Cheney resign. Honestly:
The hundreds of demonstrators the Kremlin has had beaten and arrested in the last few weeks alone, we are told, were not pro-democracy activists but common criminals – like world chess champion Garry Kasparov… [Putin]‘s lambasting us for yielding too much power. One example of this excessive power is the missile defense radar system we want to install in Poland and the Czech Republic — to give the free world early warning of a missile attack by terrorists or a rogue nation like Iran. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that the Russians have been supplying Iran with both nuclear and missile technology while using their UN veto to block sanctions that would force Tehran to back down.
Peter Robinson stakes his reputation as a speech writer to comment that “it’s good – I mean really good. Not just the content, although that’s marvelous, but the style. When you read the commentary, you can hear Thompson’s voice.”
Yesterday’s scientific poll of Republican leaning votersy has the Republican race tightening up with Thompson falling back into 4th place. Yesterday’s unscientific poll of center-right blogosphere has Thompson facecrushing everybody. All that will be moot the day he announces, which might not be until July.
Plus: Andrew Sullivan celebrates Fred Thompson’s skillz with the ladies. That is, indeed, skillz with a z. Because you people rolled your eyes when we dropped that line over the weekend, so now you get it again.
