I have to confess that I have not watched the "Tonight Show", since Johnny Carson left it; I cannot stand Jay Leno, David Letterman or "Nightline" when Ted Koppel was doing it, the broadcast channel late night shows. But that is a personal preference.
I did watch tonight for the Fred Thompson announcement and was reminded, by the low class pop culture introduction and the crude entertainment value, why I detest the program. Again, personal preference...
I also watched the Republican Presidential candidates debate this evening and the poorly constructed aftermath produced by Fox News.
The opening question of the debate unleashed an eight candidate broadside concerning Sen. Thompson's decision to announce after the debate, declining to participate in the New Hampshire debacle.
The opening statements and eventual announcement were staged questions and answers, as the media often does, with Leno fawning to Thompson in a predictable manner and the former Senator basically only answering two questions, that of the war in Iraq and the other, wider concept of the global war on tyranny.
Sen. Thompson justified the war in Iraq and Afghanistan as necessary, suggested Iran needed containment and supported the eminent necessity of global participation against the larger war on terrorism, by the free world at large. Also predictable.
After watching the candidates debates, both Republican and Democrat, I have arrived at a conclusion that the top three candidates from each party, Giuliani, McCain and Romney, Clinton, Obama and Edwards, are all six, intellectual lightweights without political substance.
I stand by my prediction of several months ago that Thompson and Gingrich will be the Republican ticket and that the Democrats will have to draft Giuliani and Romney as their ticket to even have a contest.
Mainline Republicans and Democrats are intellectually bankrupt with massive baggage burdens from an ideological base.
It should be an interesting five months ahead until the Primaries, and then another nail biting eight months after that until the General election in November '08.
