Romney Camp Linked To Attack Site Calling Thompson "Moron," "Skirt Chaser"

The Trail:

A top adviser to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney appears to be behind today's launch of a new Web site attacking GOP presidential rival Fred Thompson.

The site, www.phoneyfred.org, paints an unflattering picture of Thompson, dubbing him: Fancy Fred, Five O'clock Fred, Flip-Flop Fred, McCain Fred, Moron Fred, Playboy Fred, Pro-Choice Fred, Son-of-a-Fred and Trial Lawyer Fred.

Shortly after a Washington Post reporter made inquiries about the site to the Romney campaign, the site was taken down.

Before it vanished, the front page of the website featured a picture of a regal Thompson dressed in a frilly outfit more befitting a Gilbert and Sullivan production than a presidential campaign. Under the heading, "Playboy Fred," the site asks the question: "Once a Pro-Choice Skirt Chaser, Now Standard Bearer of the Religious Right?"

Great. Let them start eating their own. Thompson's just a dumb rich hick but Romney's a frightening operator. This is going to get ugly. What fun.

Beat me to it. I can hardly wait for Steph Miller's "Republicans eating their own" segment.

Well, Romney's a dog-torturer and he collects midget S&M porn.

As long as we're being fair here...
