The Rebuttal

So, Fred Thompson, a potential 2008 GOP presidential candidate was challenged by Michael Moore to debate him on the issue of Health Care. For those that don't know, Mr. Moore will be releasing a new film named "Sicko" that examines the U.S. Health Care System in a fairly "moving" way. To film the movie Moore went to Cuba and such actions caused various politicians on both sides of the aisle to criticize him for going over there. Thompson in particular was very vocal.

Noting Thompson's fondness for Cuban cigars, Moore stated in his explanation of why he traveled to Cuba to film his movie, that Thompson is in no position to criticize him as he Thompson enjoys the support of wealth health care lobbyists. Moore went further and challenged Thompson in a one on one debate about health care.

This is how Thompson responded to Moore:



You decide as to who wins this one......

All I have to say is, this is one heck of a way to respond! Very clever. Most politicians would simply have either ignored Moore or issued a press release.

VERY NICE!

We heard he also offered to help Moore search for his other lost submarine.
