Play of the Day: Thompson's snow day

Fri Dec 28, 7:48 PM ET

Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson often schedules walking tours during stops in small Iowa towns, and he didn't let deep snow change his plans Friday.
Wearing a cowboy hat and leather jacket, Thompson trudged through ankle-deep snow as he made his way around Oskaloosa's town square, chatting with people at a coffee shop and the county courthouse.
"It looks like business goes on even in the snow," he told two people working at computers in the courthouse. "An inch of snow back home and we go to the house."
Earlier at a stop in Pella, Thompson said he enjoyed a chance for one-on-one politics.

The Fred is so awesome, the snow melts before him then parts like the Red Sea so he can walk forward.

Down here, the schools, government, banks, etc are closed just on a forecast of snow the next day. If the snow doesn't come, they stay home anyway.:rotflmbo:

I'm glad me and Thompson are from the same state, because I know exactly what he's talking about! :D

Fred is awesome! Good sense of humor often goes hand-in-hand with class.


And yes, I LOVE the hat, too. :thumb:
