Fred Thompson, the darling movie star of the Republicans (who are Strict Constructionists and would NEVER get the US Constitution WRONG) says at one point "The Fourteenth Amendment gives Nick & Doug the right to face their accuser."
WRONG!
It's the 6th Amendment that confers that right.
Now, you'd think that a dyed-in-the-wool conservative - who HATES what the 14th Amendment stands for (the party has gone on record they'd like to strip the 14th Amendment from the Constitution) would know that it's about Equal Protection and has NOTHING to do with what rights an accused has.
And yes, I realize he's an actor who was just delivering his lines, but THINK PEOPLE! He should have known it was wrong. It's obviously a blooper - but would a former Senator who flies a flag out his butt to prove how patriotic he is like Thompson allow himself to be caught in a blooper like that - which would and SHOULD be embarrassing to him? OF COURSE HE SHOULD HAVE!
I LOVED THIS EPISODE for this very reason - it shows just how idiotic that Republican hypocrite really is. I'm glad he's finally off the air and relegated to trying to bilk senior citizens with reverse mortgage ads on late-night TV! Oh how the mighty have fallen!
HA!
