Hahah ... Fred Thompson Responds

Michael Moore challenged Fred Thompson to a health-care debate. Here is Fred's response. Funny as hell.

Typical Republican non-sequitor. Yes, what Castro did to that documentary guy was bad. But Thompson didn't say anything about health care.

funny? I suppose, but typical non-answer by a Republcian.

I think you missed the point.

Thompson was under no obligation to reply. He's not in office and doesn't speak for the GOP.

What he did do was respond in a way that was both humorous and contemptuous of Moore at the same time. That's very artful.

I thought it showed class and gamesmanship. This was another publicity stunt by Moore and Thompson responded appropriately. Although, arguably, he shouldn't have responded at all if taken seriously.

I repeat: This was not an invitation to a serious debate. It was a publicity stunt. And Fred played it perfectly.
