From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
"Every time you're somewhere, that means you're not somewhere else," Fred Thompson said to reporters after he filed here in New Hampshire.

funny, no matter where I am I seem to be somewhere else -- nuanced

somewhere you are, somewhere else you are not -- Yoda
Fred seems to be a Reagan clone, including the Alzheimers
I think we've found Bush's heir apparent...
I make the motion that if a certain person is not here, then it must be because he is somewhere else.

Oh yeah old man you are something else, we don't know WHAT! We don't want to know!
What are you on thompson?
Profound Fred, profound.  He must be reading a book on "Bushism's".
Same inane comments and policies, just a little older.
asad, i think you mean

"bush's beer apparent"
:0
And the corollary:

Every time you're somewhere else, you're not here!

No need for a primary process, the Republicans have their winner!
nuanced, brilliant...that's it.
And some people say Senator Thompson lacks depth!
Let's not forget another piece of wisdom fit for a presidential race drop-out: "Where ever you go, there you are."
What a deep man.
Come on ya'll!  If Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama had said this you'd scratch your wise bearded chins and nod in agreement.  Laugh a little at yourselves too and realize that Yogi Berra had his own kind of genius.  Face it.  Fred is a wonderful,honest southern gentleman and you just can't stand it.
I was always not somewhere else when I was here, so where do we go from there? my dog howled when i told him this one, keep it up freddie, you can't get there from here.
"Fred is a wonderful,honest southern gentleman and you just can't stand it. "

See? You shouldn't have got us used to lying little sleaze weasel election thieves. Now we don't care.

Blow back from your America-hating repug orgy? Who knew?!
"Fred is a wonderful,honest southern gentleman and you just can't stand it. "...I like him as a southern gentleman, let's keep him in the south and the heck away from any legislation, administration and sharp objects. Put the OLD dude out to pasture where the rest of the caNTservatives will be in 08....
