[lit-ideas] Re: Fred Thompson on Michael Moore

Ha!  Fred Thompson -- he's a good old boy, for sure -- a fellow Tennessean, no 
less, albeit born in Alabama and now residing in McLean, VA..  He's a great 
admirer of Ronald Reagan whom he much resembles being a B actor with a D mind.  
Good old Freddie.  He's never seen a tax cut for the rich that he didn't like,  
he loves guns, has no problem with global warming, but, boy, does he hate 
abortion.  One might suspect he's a Southerner, those bulwarks against 
enlightenment.  But nevermind his politics who could ever forget his brilliant 
perfomance in Fat Man And Little Boy (1989), and his poignant potrayal of 
whoever that was he played in Curly Sue (1991) -- it certainly rivals Reagan's 
performance in Bedtime For Bonzo.  But there I go judging people again instead 
of just saying "how odd!"

By the way, for those who don't know why Freddie starts off his "response" 
with: "You know, I've been looking at my schedule, Michael - and I don't think 
I have time for you."  It's because on May 2, 2007, Thompson wrote an 
article[23] critical of Cuba's government-run health care. Filmmaker Michael 
Moore responded May 15, 2007 with a challenge for a health care debate.[24] 
Later that day, Thompson responded with the video.  Like me, Freddie would 
rather be cute than clever. (Wiki)

  Michel Moore is preparing to release a new "documentary" on the U.S. health 
care system.  He traveled to Cuba for some of his filming.  Fred Thompson
