His speech also apparently sucked. "It wasn't a rousing speech, but it takes courage to do something more thoughtful and philosophical in this sound-bite culture," said some chief of staff, which is a way of saying, "Well, his speech was awful, but I didn't want to bash him in the newspaper in case he's the Republican nominee next year."
Thompson didn't say anything mean about President Bush but bashed everything he's done. Also, an actual declared Republican nominee for president (albeit one with no shot), Mike Huckabee, made a Mike Vick/dogfighting joke.
