One wonders what makes him — and his supporters — think that he is, in any way, up to the job.

Um, because they're using Dubya as a yardstick?

Dick Morris doesn't like Hillary either.

With Dick Morris, it's all about the publicity. While I enjoy some of his commentary and he certainly has knowledge on political subjects, I'm never sure if what he says is what he believes or says what he believes will get the most 'play' for him.

I feel somewhat dirty to be agreeing so whole-heartedly with Dick Morris but, that column isn't unlike what I was saying to some friends a couple of days ago. Thompson's worst nightmare would be for him to get the rethug nomination and for Hillary to get the the dem nod. Hill and Bill will not play fair. Fred would get a new one ripped most every day. Secrets that he has long forgotten will be unearthed by unlikely and apparently unrelated sources. He would eventually run home crying. In the unlikely event of his victory in such a contest, he would be so bloodied as to be a lame duck from the very beginning.

In the final analysis, even if there are Armani labels aplenty and tons of money was spent, an empty suit is still an empty suit.

... is an empty suit. Their permanent political apparatus can run the country while Fred strides into photo ops, hits his mark perfectly, and emotes what's on the teleprompter.

Liberty and justice for all.
