Interviewing Fred Thompson

Rarely have I sat through fourteen minutes of an interview and learned less about a major candidate. But check it out for yourself. Here he is on Iraq:

"We must take every opportunity that we have and to exhaust every reasonable hope we have to not lose that."

On taxes, I'm with him. But he has no proposals to cut entitlement spending to the degree that we must to keep taxes low. He says Goldwater is his idol. So why isn't Bush his nemesis? No one has destroyed Goldwater's legacy as effectively as Bush has. Thompson seems charming if you need someone to while away a long evening - and you'll have to remind him of what's recently been in the news. But he also seems bored. And remarkably free of any specific ideas to run on.
