where's the outrage?

Fred Thompson: 'Being a POW doesn't qualify anyone to be president'

Sound familiar?

Oh, and before anyone says "that's unfair - Thompson went on to say that it does show McCain's character - you didn't' show that part"... Yeah, and when Bob Schieffer and the rest of the media were excoriating Wesley Clark for saying THE EXACT SAME THING Thompson said last night, no one bothered including the rest of the quote in which Clark said that McCain's POW experience made him a hero.

I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in Armed Forces as a prisoner of war. He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and he has traveled all over the world.

So tell me again how what Thompson said was any different than what Clark said. Anybody from CBS care to weigh in?
