papa it really sounds like it may be your nap time. The "good people" happen to be every resident of Massachusetts, who are still cleaning up after him. Funny for a guy who was hardly ever in the corner office he sure did leave a mess behind.

so there's not a single resident of mass. who'll be singing his praises, eh? i'm just curious because if the "good" people won't be singing his praises, that would imply that anyone who does is "bad." like i said, i'm fuzzy on the whole good bad thing so maybe you can help me.

There may be some, but given the fact he left the state with a HUGE deficit they may be hard to find. Several of my friends who did vote for him, are now sorry they did.

I have a brother-in-law who's a Sandwich resident (who "winters" in Florida for six months and one day per year) who still SWEARS by the fact that Romney was a great governor who was hamstrung by the Democratic leadership of the state.

He also says the only smart thing Deval Patrick did when running for governor was "be black." When I pointed out that he was only the SECOND black governor in the history of the country EVER, he just shrugged as if the fact that he's black is the OBVIOUS reason he was elected.

So I don't put my brother-in-law in the "good" category.

Off topic, but has anyone listened to Chris Matthews going on about Miss Thompson? I keep waiting for him to spit in his hand and start pumping away right in the middle of the show:

"Does [Fred Thompson] have sex appeal? I'm looking at this guy and I'm trying to find out the new order of things, and what works for women and what doesn't. Does this guy have some sort of thing going for him that I should notice? . . .

"Gene, do you think there's a sex appeal for this guy, this sort of mature, older man, you know? He looks sort of seasoned and in charge of himself. What is this appeal? Because I keep star quality. You were throwing the word out, shining star, Ana Marie, before I checked you on it. . . .

"Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man's shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved? Do you smell that sort of -- a little bit of cigar smoke? You know, whatever."

If you cue Madonna's "Justify My Love" before you read the third paragraph, it all becomes clear.

Oh, yes they are, m'dear.

The right wingnut bloviators are pushing their whole "masculine" routine into major overdrive.

The thing about Thompson is he's so grumpy. He's a bit like a better fed Abe Vigoda. Not sure how well he's going to handle a national campaign.

Freddy is a slimey lobbyist. I can't wait to see his "personal" life unravel.

I know this thread is about Mitt, but one question about Fred Thompson. How did he go from being a senator to an actor on Law & Order? Please no smart jokes!!

This is from Wikipedia Dottie -

The 1977 Ray Blanton-Tennessee Parole Board scandal later became the subject of a 1983 book, Marie, by Peter Maas. Director Roger Donaldson bought the film rights and travelled to Nashville to speak with the people involved with the original case. After meeting with Thompson, Donaldson asked Thompson if he wanted to play himself in the movie; Thompson agreed. The resulting film, Marie, was released in 1985. Donaldson then cast Thompson in the part of the CIA Director in his next movie, No Way Out, in 1987.[14]

Thompson would go on to appear in many films and television shows, including Wiseguy, The Hunt for Red October, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Days of Thunder, Cape Fear and In the Line of Fire. A 1994 New York Times profile described his character roles in the following terms:[5]

"The glowering, hulking Mr. Thompson has played a White House chief of staff, a director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a highly placed F.B.I. agent, a rear admiral, even a senator. When Hollywood directors need someone who can personify governmental power, they often turn to him."
In the final months of his U.S. Senate term in 2002, Thompson joined the cast of the long-running NBC television series Law & Order, playing Arthur Branch; in the spring of 2005, Thompson concurrently played the role on the original series and the short-lived sister series Law & Order: Trial by Jury. He has also made occasional appearances on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law and Order: Criminal Intent, and was in the pilot episode of Conviction. Thompson filmed his parts during Senate recesses.[15] On May 30, 2007, he asked to be released from the show.

Thompson also starred for one season on the popular 90s sitcom Roseanne, where he starred as Roseanne's tough and unfair boss, Keith Faber.

Thompson is sometimes credited with being on the TV show Sex in the City, however according to Thompson on The Tonight Show, he was never actually an actor on the show. However he is on a TV set during a single scene in an episode.

Chris Matthews went through a phase a few months ago during whihc he repeated referred to Giuliani as a "hot Daddy-type."

Um...Chris? You trying to tell us something?
