Debate of the Day

After criticizing filmmaker Michael Moore in the National Review Online, actor, former Senator and potential presidential candidate Fred Thompson (R-TN) declined to accept Moore's invitation for a one-on-one debate on health care.

As I mentioned in an earlier posting, the Treasury Department is currently investigating Moore for taking September 11th rescue workers to Cuba even though the United States has repeatedly violated the Cuban-American Treaty over the last 100+ years. However, Thompson, being the man of principles that he is, would never ignore the trade embargo with Cuba, would he? Take a look at this excerpt from an April 23rd article on Thompson in "The Weekly Standard" (a conservative magazine owned by News Corp., parent company of FOX News):

"Thompson's work space looks just like what the home office of a successful politician or CEO should look like--though a little messier: a large desk, dark wood, leather furniture, lots of books and magazines and newspapers, a flat screen TV and box upon box of cigars--Montecristos from Havana."

Well, I guess I stand corrected.
