E!! The True Conservative Story™

Remember when the Left snarked at Bush for the orchestration of various photo opps with the U.S. military? 

Apparently Obama’s PR people have decided to adopt the practice.  Including pre-screening and special-stamping military personnel based on who they voted for in November.

Here’s a great piece on it (on Hot Air).

Those acquainted with me pre-E!! know I was a Fred Thompson supporter before he dropped out of the presidential race.  I believed then (and still think) he was the most reliably Conservative of all the GOP candidates in all the areas that matter most. 

One of my favorite things about Fred was that he wasn’t overtly enthusiastic about getting The Job.  This annoyed a lot of people and probably cost him a spot in the top 3, but I considered his reserve – i.e. his lack of zeal for politicking - a big plus.  It was (and will continue to be) my contention that our pick should always be the man most qualified to lead but least lustful for power and the public eye.

Thompson’s analysis on the Russian invasion of Georgia and other international issues today is just excellent.  Be sure to read his conclusion, with which I thoroughly agree and would add:  the White House driveway is a dangerous place for Obama to practice his driving skills.
