Maybe he can be in the next Indiana Jones movie if there's another one, and play Indy. Isn't he younger than Harrison Ford?

The former Republican presidential candidate is seeking a return to his acting career, having recently signed a deal with the William Morris Agency, Reuters reports. Thompson, a former senator from Tennessee, starred as New York District Attorney Arthur Branch in the NBC show "Law & Order" until last year when Republican Party insiders convinced him to mount a presidential bid. |

McGovern: Hard to elect female president
__________________By MARY CLARE JALONICK, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 7 minutes ago Former Sen. George McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, said Tuesday it would be easier for a black man to be elected to the White House than a woman. The former South Dakota senator has endorsed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom he has known for decades since she helped campaign for him. She is in a close race with Sen. Barack Obama for the party nod. "I have a feeling that in this country where we're at today in our thinking, it's going to be harder to elect a woman than to elect a black man," he told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "I wish that weren't true ... I'd love to see Hillary as president." McGovern says he occasionally chats with men who don't think a woman is ready for the responsibility. "Some guy will say, 'Well, I think that's too big a job for a woman, I don't think she can handle those terrorists,'" he said, adding that he seldom hears the same thing said about a black man. "I think we've never had a woman so well-qualified that's on the national scene," he said of Clinton. McGovern, who centered his 1972 campaign on his opposition to the Vietnam War, has been critical of the Iraq war, calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney earlier this year. He said Clinton and Obama have reasonable plans for ending the conflict. He says he likes Obama but didn't know much about him when he endorsed Clinton last year. "I think very highly of him now," McGovern said. The former senator, who maintains a home in South Dakota, was in Washington pushing lawmakers to add more money for international food aid to a multibillion dollar farm bill. McGovern has long been an advocate for the hungry and helped start a program that donates U.S.-grown crops for school lunches in impoverished countries. |

Someone should tell McGovern, it's harder to elect a candidate that outwardly lies regardless of gender.

Outwardly lies? Are inward lies different? John McCain has never lied, not once in his life? We all know Mitt hasn't, no need to even bring that up. I bet even Barack Obama has lied ![]() |

And knock it off with the ignore list stuff. It's an empty threat, because it means absolutely nothing to me. (I suspect it means roughly the same to others here you're "threatening" as well) I know you'll still click on the posts to read them anyway. Your ego's too big to be left wondering. ![]() |

I don't condone Senator Clinton telling this story the way she did, and apparently numerous times. But Senator Obama has apparently "misspoken" about some of the legislation he was involved with. Doesn't excuse hers or make it right, but just to be fair. There is some exaggeration and "resume padding" going on on all sides. |

As far as alleged sexism proffered by some here, Hillary happens to be a person that has a radio-active personality, the same way Newt Gingrich does. Most women, even conservative women aren't "ga-ga" for Newt even though those conservative women may agree with him in principle. So going to the sexism card is tired, lazy and weak. The woman has chosen to sell out her dignity, calculate and lie when she thinks she can get away with it and who stays married to a fellow that has as much integrity as a used car salesman. Nothing sexist at all, just cold hard facts. dbs |

That was YOUR statement, and diemen is right. Nothing you said above has anything to do with that. Nor does your entire past history here of double standard sexist comments about her (and posting of witch pictures, etc.)-THAT is tired, lazy, and weak. When and if you can criticize her without all of that maybe people will take it seriously. |
