Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has some free medical advice for actor and former Senator Fred Thompson, one of his competitors for the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination.
Yesterday we ran THIS POST about how well Fred Thompson did in last night’s Republican debate. And we linked to a great video of Thompson going after Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee with an energy many Republicans wished he had shown at the start.
But now Huckabee has come back with a bit of advice for Fred Thompson.
And as…colorful…as it seems, it’s another indication of how well Huckabee knows how to use the TV tube. He comes across as an actual human being, rather than a primed politician delivering political talking points. He comes across as personable, likable and funny. This factor is crucial in 21st century America. Content matters…but so does the delivery system.
Here’s his advice for Thompson:
