Thompson's hair color was not only off the mark, but his lack of knowledge about our brave military who have died/gotten injured in Iraq demonstrates very clearly that some are qualified...others, like Thompson, are not.
The Repubs have a problem - none of their current candidates measure up, including McCain who wanted to dispel the notion that he's a tired 70yr old but instead appeared to have overdosed on cafine before the "debate".
The Decider/Commander Guy has already set the bar low for Repub candidates, so someone with bad hair color and no knowledge of what is going on in Iraq could actually win the Repub nomination.
