I stumbled upon this from Barking MoonBat Early Warning System. Boy, wish I’d actually watched this debate, would have loved to see the following exchange in real life. From a transcript:
CAROLYN WASHBURN: I want to take on a new issue. I would like to see a show of hands. How many of you believe global climate change is a serious threat and caused by human activity?
FRED THOMPSON: I’m not doing…
THOMPSON: I’m not doing hand-shows today.
WASHBURN: No hand-shows today?
THOMPSON: No hand-shows.
WASHBURN: And so, does that mean—is that yes or no for you? Do you believe that global climate change is a serious threat and caused by human activity?
THOMPSON: Well, you want to give me a minute to answer that?
WASHBURN: No, I don’t.
THOMPSON: Well, then I’m not going to answer it.
The following video captures Fred’s comments, but only after a quick sequence of Reagan’s comments during a past debate. Not sure I like the comparison between Thompson and Reagan, but it’s still worth a watch…
