Thompson clears his throat too much

According to the New York Times, Fred Thompson just makes too many "harumphs."
It’s a bug.

At least that’s what Fred D. Thompson said between harumphs about his very noticeable harumphing this morning in a campaign appearance here at a local restaurant.

But if it is some sort of bug, it is a mighty persistent one, as it is a tic that everyone from television producers fretting about their audio to members of the audience at his speeches have noticed since he declared his candidacy for the presidency back in early September.

What the fuck!? Honestly, I haven't noticed him clear his throat once until this fucking article pointed it out. Not once!

They even have audio attached to the article, you know, just to prove it. The caption for the audio is: "Mr. Thompson’s repeated throat clearing and coughing has received some attention." Attention? From where?! Oh, you mean attention that YOU JUST FUCKING MADE UP?

Also, look at the guy! Fred's not exactly the healthiest looking old dude. I'd imagine a guy like that has put lots of crap down his throat over the years and has to continuously clear it out.

Is this what we should be fucking concerned about when picking the fucking president of the fucking United fucking States of fucking America?!

It's bullshit articles like this one that make this website completely justified.
