Thompson tweaking Hillary on the campaign trail<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson on Wednesday teased<\/span> Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, saying “there is no woman on the horizon that ought to be president next year.”
\nThe former Tennessee senator was challenging potential caucus-goers to choose the best man to help fend off what he described as an assault by a Democratic Party that is “just salivating” to lead the country into a welfare state.
\n“Who are we going to set on the road – what man are we going to set on the road – to lead us and to stand against this assault?” he asked, emphasizing the word ‘man.’ He couched his comments by saying “I say the word man advisedly. Now I’ve got a daughter that’s going to be president some day, I know it, and I am all for a woman president, just not this year, not next year.”
\n[…]
\nFresh off of a Christmas break, Thompson joked about taking advantage of too much holiday bounty. Tugging on his black leather jacket, he said “I found that when I got my campaign clothes back on, that somebody shrunk my jacket … I don’t know who washed it behind my back, but somebody apparently did.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m shocked that the reporter didn’t say “attacked.” Go read the report I left out his weird football analogy that I didn’t get (I don’t watch football so I rarely get football analogies).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
