Today's Fred Thompson moment is brought to us courtesy of a 9/11 truther. They got one idiotic question in about Fred's being a member of the Council on Foreign Relations which he handled admirably and coolly with the title above.
But the video below does give you a good idea why Fred is on the way up. He's calm, he's cool, he thinks on his feet and he gives solid answers, without giving away the store. In short, gravitas, he's got it by the barrel.
"I have the benefit now of being the main target of the Democratic party." Ha! Fred won't be announcing anytime soon. He doesn't need to, as he's doing fine.
Don't miss the unintentionally hysterical ending, where the truther gets escorted from the building. Love it.

1. "I am now the main target of the Democratic party?"
Really Fred? What did you think happens in politics? You just get to walk into the presidency?
Maybe Fred isn't such a big tough macho guy after all. Maybe he just plays one on TV.

2. I don't know, but in this clip it seems that only friendly questions, and questioners, are accepted.
But he wants to be president of ALL the people.
