Fred's funds run out
By Libby Spencer
The Politico is reporting that the Thompson campaign has run out of money and won't be airing any TV ads in Iowa. Fred will now be forced to rely on his personality and his bus tour to win over the Iowa voters. Considering the previous reviews of Fred's on the road performance, one might think this is not going to be a winning strategy.
Hard to believe that only a few short months ago Fred was being touted as the savior of the party. It would appear his campaign was simply never able to overcome the loss of momentum caused by his long tease on testing the waters in the beginning and his on the stump style just didn't ignite the necessary enthusiasm needed to fire up his supporters.
But he does have a few left. There's a fundraising blogburst going on even as you read this. Unfortunately for them, I think, like the campaign itself, it will be to little, too late.

I thought it was a bit ironic to hear Fred bumbling in that Avuncular backwoods dialect of his about how we're not ready for a woman president just shortly before the religious right in Pakistan killed Benazir Bhutto.
Of course this is the genius who's now blaming the mortgage crisis on Mexicans because can't speak English well enough to communicate with their bankers. Can you imagine how this Gomer would deal with the incredible complex economic situation that faces us today?
Fred is either very stupid or insane or insanely stupid or just a sly fox feeding the anger of the rabble just as most of the demagogues that made the 20th century such a horror did.

Freddy T.'s "personality". Now there's some hilarity for you.
