Bush Back In Power - Thompson Looming

(Fred Thompson) Lord Cheney pretended to give power back to Bush today after a routine colonoscopy. A brief scan of news sites suggests he refrained from bombing anyone while the president was being investigated. Rumors are circulating that one of the polyps removed was in fact Bush’s head.

Meanwhile, movement on the Fred Thompson front adds fuel to the speculation that he will indeed run. Thompson has secured the services of veteran Republican operative Rich Galen. No lightweight, the politically astute Galen is author of cyber column Mullings and provides political analysis on CNN. A sample of his thoughts.

Thompson will spend the rest of the summer strategizing with Galen to craft an early September launch. The other GOP contenders have cause for concern.

While Fred Thompson added Galen, Duncan Hunter has added former McCain staffer Patrick Anderson, a casualty of the McCain meltdown yet to be acknowledged by McCain. Never underestimate the power of denial. I speak from experience.

(Tommy Thompson) Let’s not get our Thompsons confused. We also have Tommy Thompson, governor of Wisconsin and not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. His panties are currently in a bunch because he thinks Mitt Romney is copying his campaign strategy, even though Romney’s schedule has been posted at Romney's Web site for months.
