The usual suspects will find it alarming, everyone else in the world will cherish it as the cheeky goof on the media that it is. Hilarious.

If only he had said his child, it would have made a huge difference.
IMO, if I had her, I’d feel the same way.
MadisonConservative on December 14, 2007 at 11:39 AM
Awesome
Zetterson on December 14, 2007 at 11:41 AM
HAHA. I’m liking fred more, again, every day.
lorien1973 on December 14, 2007 at 11:41 AM
What he should have said is, “Actually, I have two.”
Allahpundit on December 14, 2007 at 11:41 AM
This will drive the femenists crazy.
natesnake on December 14, 2007 at 11:42 AM
Rudy’s angling for the Pulp Fiction vote.
saint kansas on December 14, 2007 at 11:42 AM
“Actually, I have two.”
They’re a matching set.
natesnake on December 14, 2007 at 11:43 AM
Shouldn’t that be idou alpha? Sheesh.
JiangxiDad on December 14, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards (laughing): “I hate these questions because they always require more thought than I have to time to give them. Prized like long term or short term? My running shoes are very important to me.”
Douche
natesnake on December 14, 2007 at 11:46 AM
HA! Perfect.
sunny on December 14, 2007 at 11:47 AM
I dunno, I thought the running shoes answer was a better joke.
Oh wait, that was a real answer….
World B. Free on December 14, 2007 at 11:48 AM
Too late.
BKennedy on December 14, 2007 at 11:48 AM
I must admit Obama’s answer was pretty good:
sunny on December 14, 2007 at 11:48 AM
Excellent. I needed a good laugh today.
Matticus Finch on December 14, 2007 at 11:49 AM
Zing, Zing, Zing, Fred!
New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: I’ll own this country soon enough. Oh, wait, better not say that.
Oh and having seen a certain two in person, um how am I going to put this…there’s no there there.
RushBaby on December 14, 2007 at 11:49 AM
(o)(o)
Great answer by Fred.
dedalus on December 14, 2007 at 11:49 AM
Har!
Michelle on December 14, 2007 at 11:50 AM
I agree. Obama’s still a socialist and all, but I honestly would feel a teensy bit better having him as the worst case scenario versus Silky or Hilldawg.
MadisonConservative on December 14, 2007 at 11:50 AM
I LOVE him!!! That’s the awesomest answer given to a completely stupid question. Everyone else is so serious and trying to be slightly profound. Except Edwards, who was just stupid.
Fred deadpans it and I love it!
mjk on December 14, 2007 at 11:51 AM
That made my day.
the goddess anna on December 14, 2007 at 11:51 AM
John’s is right on the spot. He’s got a similar temperament.
Spirit of 1776 on December 14, 2007 at 11:52 AM
He is certainly the most skilled at setting a paper sack full of doggie doo on the MSM front porch, lighting it, then ringing the doorbell and chortling from a distance. I find that quality quite appealing.
a capella on December 14, 2007 at 11:53 AM
What’s the proper syntax?
- The First Twins
- The First Mamories
- The First Fun Bags
- The First Milkers
I’d hate to be caught in a situation where I get it wrong.
natesnake on December 14, 2007 at 11:53 AM
HAHAHAHA! Oh, that is priceless!
MCPO Airdale on December 14, 2007 at 11:54 AM
That picture is of Jeri in the dress that made cs devens head explode. What happened to Fred!-hating cs?
KelliD on December 14, 2007 at 11:56 AM
The Glacier is as cold as ice, as always.
Seriously, at least Fred made a joke, Hillary doesn’t seem to value anything. At least “The mirror” could be played off as a joke.
Also natesake:
The First Guns (or Bazookas).
Just cause the Southern Boy likes his Guns, ya know.
BKennedy on December 14, 2007 at 11:56 AM
Nice! Fred’s the man!
Man, Hillary can’t give a strait answer to anything can she? I’ll venture a guess of her most prized possession…her ego.
CP on December 14, 2007 at 11:57 AM
Hopefully his has been thoroughly cleaned.
Esthier on December 14, 2007 at 11:57 AM
The First Guns (or Bazookas).
Duly noted.
natesnake on December 14, 2007 at 11:57 AM
Hillary: Your testicles.
saint kansas on December 14, 2007 at 11:59 AM
I love it!
CurtZHP on December 14, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Good answer from Fred. Could the picture of Fred and his “trophy” be any more wide angle? Not that I’m complaining ….
Aardvark on December 14, 2007 at 12:01 PM
Or:
Hillary: My opponents’ FBI files.
saint kansas on December 14, 2007 at 12:01 PM
Hillary: Your testicles.
I think you mean
Hillary: “My testicles.”
amish on December 14, 2007 at 12:02 PM
Hillary: The “W’s” from all the keyboards in the White House.
aero on December 14, 2007 at 12:03 PM
Hillary’s answer should have been:
Trophy Husband.
Always Right on December 14, 2007 at 12:03 PM
Hillary (conspiracy answer): The gun that killed Vince Foster.
Hillary (sexual reference): My assistant.
Hillary (investment answer): Cattle
blah, blah, blah
sunny on December 14, 2007 at 12:06 PM
And Fred is not the front runner why?
liberrocky on December 14, 2007 at 12:10 PM
Fred is the one!
jeglinas on December 14, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Dinnerjacket doesn’t stand a chance.
President Fred…what is your most prized possession.
‘That photo I have of Dinnerjacket, with a baseball stuffed in his mouth, an old pair of running shoes, and looking at his pocket watch in that cell in Gitmo’.
Go Fred! Go!
Limerick on December 14, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Here’s another Jeri pic for cs…
Cuffy Meigs on December 14, 2007 at 12:18 PM
ABSOLUTELY love this answer. Go Fred!
tickleddragon on December 14, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Oh, and that “doggie poo on the doorstep of the MSM”… best line of the day yet for me!! Good one.
tickleddragon on December 14, 2007 at 12:20 PM
HAHA. Nice. I hope the MSM runs with it. Fred will jab them mercilessly.
Theworldisnotenough on December 14, 2007 at 12:22 PM
Pretty much describes her entire campaign, doesn’t it?
Hollowpoint on December 14, 2007 at 12:23 PM
IMO, the perfect nomenclature. Appropriate and patriotic:
His (well, her) Purple Mountains Majesty
Darksean on December 14, 2007 at 12:27 PM
For:
Certainly a better choice than:

Speakup on December 14, 2007 at 12:31 PM
This man could easily be the best American President of modern times. Unfortunitely we rarely elect “the best.”
Griz on December 14, 2007 at 12:33 PM
Fred gave the best answer in the last AP quick-answer round, too. If you missed it, it was about nick-names.
aero on December 14, 2007 at 12:38 PM
Who is this Fred Thompson you speak of? I think he should jump in the race for the White House.
chief on December 14, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Hillary was obviously caught off-guard, having been asked a question that wasn’t focused-grouped or precision-polled - whatever the correct term is.
the AP reporter was promptly terminated.
Dork B. on December 14, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Her programming doesn’t allow for sentiment. The question locked her up until she was rebooted.
Frozen Tex on December 14, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Fred gave the best answer in the last AP quick-answer round, too. If you missed it, it was about nick-names.
lol
amish on December 14, 2007 at 12:45 PM
I was goint to go with:
Hillary: “The heads of my enemies mounted on the wall of my office.”
But, I have to hand it to an earlier post - my favorite so far:
Excellent work!
Dork B. on December 14, 2007 at 12:46 PM
What they REALLY wanted to say!
Rudy “My mistress”
Hokeybee “Chuck Norris”
Edwards “My stylist”
Biden ” Hairplugs”
Romney ” MILLIONS and MILLIONS”
Obama “Oprah”
Kucinich “Are you kiddin me? Have you seen my wife?”
Fred ” The millions I have saved being bald. Have you seen what Edward’s hairdos cost?”
Gatordoug on December 14, 2007 at 12:48 PM
Isn’t this why he gets so little coverage? They’re scared he’ll make them look stupid. And he will.
NellE on December 14, 2007 at 12:51 PM
He’s winning me back…
Vizzini on December 14, 2007 at 12:52 PM
…..
Out of the park…
ChrisM on December 14, 2007 at 12:52 PM
Csdevin has moved over to Little Green Footballs, where he’s making the same comments he always made here. Problem is, at little Green Footballs, if Charles disagrees, you get banned……..sooooooooo, cs might be back
speed911 on December 14, 2007 at 12:57 PM
OMG Edwards said “running shoes.” To keep those calf muscles lookin’ sexy. The only thing better than that would be “my comb.”
Mark Jaquith on December 14, 2007 at 1:12 PM
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards (laughing): “I hate these questions because they always require more thought than I have to time to give them. Prized like long term or short term?
My running shoesThe backs of all the kids I climbed over and doctors I crushed to get where I am are very important to me.”Fixed.
crazy_legs on December 14, 2007 at 1:19 PM
Gotta love Fred
msipes on December 14, 2007 at 1:20 PM
He did have the best one there too.
And, again Hillary had no answer, though I could think of a few.
CP on December 14, 2007 at 1:20 PM
Groan. So, we weren’t a big enough audience for him, or not enough of us were buying what he was trying to sell?
Like I said in another thread, it’s past time for the attack dogs to turn the full force of their anti-Fred fire hose against Huckabee now. They were spending all their time and energy attacking the wrong guy.
aero on December 14, 2007 at 1:21 PM
aero,
He’s also shown up over at Aces a couple of times, but he hasn’t gone crazy over there yet, I’m pretty sure he knows the morons would kill him and eat him if he did.
ChrisM on December 14, 2007 at 1:38 PM
Hillary thought about and ran a couple of choices though her head, but she knew no one would believe it.
My faithful husband
My beautiful daughter
So she just said nothing.
TheSitRep on December 14, 2007 at 1:40 PM
…unlike Chihuahua, Mexico
argh
maverick muse on December 14, 2007 at 1:46 PM
Im loving my “Fred 08″ Sticker more and more each day!
heatherrc77 on December 14, 2007 at 2:29 PM
Nonsense- he doesn’t ban that often, and when he does he generally has a very legitimate reason.
Hollowpoint on December 14, 2007 at 3:11 PM
Fred’s hilarious. Anyone who can make the MSM eat their words is ok in my book!
Hillary actually followed that age old rule of courtesy: If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all… Though I doubt she meant to be nice, she was just caught off guard by a positive question.
4shoes on December 14, 2007 at 3:27 PM
So what’s the deal with csdeven, did he get himself banhammered at HA, or what?
Bad Candy on December 14, 2007 at 4:30 PM
Once a lawyer, always a lawyer. Refusing to get pinned down and giving a non-committal answer.
Sneaky and shallow. Qualities to look for in a President. /sarc
Mallard T. Drake on December 14, 2007 at 4:33 PM
Also, I didn’t know Fred had a Grandaughter. Who is that with him? (I jest.)
BKennedy on December 14, 2007 at 4:35 PM
No. I’m just lurking here once in a while. Laughing my butt off at the csdeven haters for the most part. I haven’t been around here for 2 weeks or so and they’re STILL my 8itches. lol
I spend a lot of time at AoS and TH. LGF is way too big and it’s hard to keep conversations going. I did get banned at redstate though. I had three browsers going and thought I was posting at AoS and used some colorful language. That guy has no sense of humor at all. :-)
csdeven on December 14, 2007 at 4:50 PM
nice. If I were him, I would say the same thing.
jdsmith0021 on December 14, 2007 at 6:58 PM
You do know that you have a very strange funny bone…right…
doriangrey on December 15, 2007 at 12:25 PM
Yup, LGF is what, back when I was still in the music industry, we would refer to as a rough crowd. You cant say just any old stupid $hit and get a response, you have to think about what you are going to say because they have literally “heard it all”.
