Given the number of times the Republican candidates accused each other of being Hillary Clinton at the debate yesterday, expect Rudy and Mitt to come out with statements about how this aligns Thompson with the Clintons of the world!

Jewliani??? Seriously? You are a ridiculous human being.

Well good for Thompson for telling it like it is in this case. It is the first time I've ever heard him say anything intelligent--and that includes the Watergate Hearings.

Every other major candidate for President in both parties ought to join Thompson in this. Anyone who has ever faced such a decision understands very well how utterly inappropriate it is for the government to be involved in any way. Even the courts have an extraordinarily limited proper role in these matters.

In every other respect I think Thompson has shown himself to be pretty much of a doof, but on this I say let's give credit where credit is due.

Is it possible to debate politics without resorting to bigotry? What is with the "Jewliani" comment? Perhaps you thought you were posting to Rush Limbaugh's website. Take your insults somewhere else, please.

This is the first sensible thing I've heard out of Thompson's campaign.

It does make me wonder, however, how someone who'd confronted a similar situation could possibly claim he was not familiar with the Terri Schiavo case. He had to have been lying.
