Platitude Pudding

The disappointment with Thompson is growing.  Quin Hillyer at The American Spectator refers to his campaign’s offerings as “a themeless pudding” and goes on to say about Fred’s campaign style:

Platitude follows upon platitude upon platitude, until you start to give the sense that you’re a creature that would look utterly ungainly if you tried to actually implement real policies — a platitudinous platypus, perhaps, unsure if you actually have the right equipment to swim in the rough political waters.
