FICTION OR REALITY?
If Fred Thompson throws his hat in the presidential ring it could be a Reaganesque moment since Thompson as an ex-US GOP Senator from Tennessee currently has a career as a hard nosed politically savy DA on TV's Law & Order. `
Given the disarray and desperation within the ranks of the GOP faithful over their current choices for '08, it's ironic that the party might go for someone with screenplay credentials. Could it be that the rank and file of the Grand Old Party prefer fiction to reality?
Reagan invented the doctrine of plausible deniability during the Iran/Contra scandal so the GOP's embrace of fiction is ironically consistent - however intellectually bankrupt and moribund. One trusts the voters in '08 have learned their lesson that it's dangerous to let fiction trump reality. Just remember who was in charge on 9/11 and the number 3300 and counting!
