Waterloo, Iowa
AFTER A TWENTY-FIVE minute speech and taking three questions from voters at the Waterloo Arts Center in Waterloo, Iowa, Fred Thompson decided to entertain one more. At first, this seemed like a mistake.
A woman with a mullet stood, and in a husky voice, asked him whether it wasn’t time for another tea party. Thompson seemed both confused and amused. But she was angry and she was just getting started. Before she was finished there would be a couple references to “the Arabs” causing the United States so many problems, an invocation of the Queen of England, a lengthy disquisition on oil, some talk of taxes, and a second reference to another tea party.
