Seems like Fred "Huckleberry/Foghorn" Thompson has his work cut out for him with the very conservatives he thinks he's leading. Too bad he's such a work-avoider. Check out the columns (no link) in today's WaPo by George Will and Robert Novak (now I have to disinfect my keyboard). Will likens Thompson to New Coke, the highly hyped new taste that was an Edsel-like flop. Novak thinks Foghorn is not being handled well by his minions (including his wife/campaign manager Juggs, er, Jeri). It's all marketing and image, isn't it boys?!
This is coming days after a "Phony Fred" website, put up by a Willard "Flip" Romney supporter, labeled Huckleberry a "skirt chaser," Washington insider lobbyist, and church-avoider, among other friendly nomenclature. We're guessing Huckleberry has just peaked in the polls.
