Did anyone else see a clip on maybe CNN in which that breathless twit Mike Allen of Politico
referred to Fred Thompson as "the original Papa Bear?" Did I imagine that? I was busy and the teevee was on as background noise and I just happened to focus on it for a second when I heard that comment and checked to see who made it. I think Allen was talking to Blitzer.

Sorry, it's been a busy week and the days have kind of run together.
Anyway, I just wondered if anyone saw that smarmy sucker from Politico. It looks as though Politico has found their bear.
