After a lengthy sermon that covers just about everything but global warming, Fred Thompson chuckles, “there’s Alan Keyes’ position on global warming.” It gets laughter, and Keyes seems irritated. He then says he wants to stop “the hot air coming from politicians.”

Ron Paul Tancredo: “Doctor, heal thyself.”

For one shining moment, I’ll call myself a Ronulan.*

Thompson is sounding like he’s decided this debate’s format stinks, and so he’s going to protest by mocking the mockery it has become. It’s the most life he’s shown in a while.

UPDATE: A reader tells me it was Tancredo. I was pretty sure it was Paul, but I’ll have to check the transcripts…

ANOTHER UPDATE: A second reader contends it was Tancredo.
