In the swampy soup of hopefuls for the 2008 presidential election, there is a man with a funny name. (No, not that one.)
We're thinking of the one named Fred (Thompson).
Say it out loud. Do it. Fred. Fred. In the South, Fray-ud.
Fur-red-duh.
It has the tonal quality of something being dropped on the floor, something heavy and damp-ish.
Waterlogged paper towel.
Fred.

Aunt Acid isn't the one cutting the name I don't believe.
The article is? She is just quoting the article.
A name doesn't make the man.
I could care what his name is, so far he is my choice!

Relax Auntie!
This is just a little filler piece. Paper's use them all the time, trying to keep the paper light, but thought provoking. Like the "Is Mondale too ugly to be president" stories of the 1984 election.
This is not an editorial position of the Post, I suspect. Nor is it front page.
It'll be fine.
Besides, the Democrats will probably win anyway.

Isn't he broke? Let's just stay the course with our President Bush!

Yes, it's stupid and insulting.
And your point in attacking someone else based on their name is.....?
