Fred Thompson is incredibly soothing. The content, of course, is, "POWPOWPOW!" Indeed, if you transcribed the convention, it would read something like the script for the Adam West-era Batman. After a long retelling of McCain's experience as a prisoner, Thompson intoned, "civilizations since the dawn of time have looked for this sort of character in their leaders." Which sort of raises the question: Should we just find the longest serving POW in the country and elect him president? Update: Hoisted from comments:
So torture builds character that leads to leadership.I can only imagine the sign above Gitmo:"Welcome future world leaders"
