Fred vs. Michael

This is laugh-out-loud funny -- and devastatingly effective politics...

This morning, Michael Moore (the revolting "creator" of Fahrenheit 911) challenged Fred Thompson to a "Presidential" debate. This is wacky on several counts, including the fact that Fred Thompson isn't even in the race yet, and the fact that no candidate in their right mind -- on either side -- would debate a mindless, slimy, jiggling ball of self-righteous ignorance like Michael Moore.

Most candidates would simply ignore the squeals of a such a pig, figuring they wouldn't want to raise the likes of Michael Moore up in anyone's estimation (including his own) by deigning to respond. I'm pretty sure most PR flacks would recommend that approach. Which makes it all the more surprising to see this video response by Fred Thompson just a few hours after Michael Moore's "challenge".

If Fred keeps up this kind of fast, sharp, no-holds-barred politicking, he just might end up with my vote. He's got my interest and my full attention right now...
