Cold War relic Fred Thompson appears to have the same talent for 'diplomacy' that Bush has famously used to create enemies everywhere. After Fred suggested that Cuban immigrants pose a terrorist threat, Hillary Clinton charged that the Republican is no friend of Cuban Americans.
Hillary made her point in, um, Florida.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida - Taking a swipe at a potential GOP presidential rival, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday criticized Fred Thompson for suggesting illegal Cuban immigrants pose a terrorist threat.
"I was appalled when one of the people running for or about to run for the Republican nomination talked about Cuban refugees as potential terrorists," Clinton told Hispanic elected officials. "Apparently he doesn't have a lot of experience in Florida or anywhere else, and doesn't know a lot of Cuban-Americans."
Thompson: "They're Coming From Cuba"
A video clip of Thompson's remark immediately circulated on YouTube and has drawn considerable attention in Florida, a key early primary state home to many Republican-leaning Cuban Americans.
