Is Dat You, Foghorn?


We thought former Rethug Senator and extremely laid-back Presidential "campaigner" Fred "Foghorn Leghorn" Thompson had gone off to that rocking chair on his porch in Tennessee to spin folksy yarns for the young 'uns and assorted farm animals. But no, Foghorn is back, expressing his opinion that the war in Afghanistan "is lost." This wouldn't be noteworthy except for the fact that it's a 180 degree reversal from Foghorn's position in 2007 (when Dumbya, the Dick and the Rethugs were in charge), when he stated that Democrats were "encouraging our enemies" by saying that the effort in Afghanistan was doomed. What a difference 2 years, and a Democratic President makes.

What's most surprising (aside from the fact that someone gave him his own radio show) is that Foghorn was able to lift himself out of his deep lethargy to express an opinion. Unless he was merely talking in his sleep in front of a microphone. . .
