Is it me, or is the Tennessee Stud looking a little tired and drawn? You won't see this guy riding a horse or chopping wood like Ronald Ray-gun. Freddie's dead, that's what I said...

Loved some of the comments above! Especially Fred-neck. God forbid we should have to suffer through another 4 years of moronic sloppy thinking. We've had it with that. Of course, the other cast of Repub characters don't offer much either. My other "God forbid" applies to Guliani who is the biggest phony on the planet. Just ask New Yorkers who hated him as mayor. What a motley crew!

Lethargic Fred doesn't go fast; he goes half fast.

Talk about a dud. There was a big buildup and enthusiam for Thompson and then the announcement date was put off several times. Finally when it happened, Thompson seemed ill informed and disinterested in the process.

I think when he realized that he was not going to be annoited as the nominee, he lost interest. But the process had gone so far that he did not want to look like a fool by withdrawing.

So instead he now looks like a fool while he is running.

The amazingly phoney --even for galactic sized phonies--build up for old Jubilation T. Cornpone fit to a tee the old saying about the mountain that brought forth a mouse.

I think the country has had its fill of southern idiots.....even tho the current idiot isn't really from texas, which isn't even really the south.....

Check out the hit piece on Fred Thompson, including a few things the media never talks about. To read it go to thirdrailradio.blogspot.com

The thought of Fred-neck succeeding Dubya is just too much to comtemplate. If the Dems can't get it right this time, I think (hope) moderate voters will desert both parties to begin forming a new Moderate Party immediately after such a debacle.

Fred Mertz will be out of the campaign by the end of the year.

Probably won't matter who the Republican nominee is if Hillary is the democratic nominee. Think she had her "Dean Scream" moment when she met with Chris Wallace. That cackle will be played over and over and over for a year.

"...only now discover that the man's a bit directionless and lazy. But as the Newsweek story demonstrates, all of that was part of the prologue, had anyone bothered to look."

This I think is key. The info was out there. We all saw these charges of 'laziness' even before McCain had his big bomb. Heck, my political debating buddy at work and I think he is such a non-entity that he only came up once months ago, it was about the charade of his Red Pickup.

Fred Thompson is a waste of a good suit. He did absolutely NOTHING for the state of TN as Senator, not even represent it. Between his ears is a script of GOP talking points, and little else. I'm not surprised he couldn't answer simple questions about current events. They haven't emailed him his opinions on them yet. I call him "Dead-Head Fred."

Fred Thompson is, you know, an ass-wipe. That's about the best anyone can say about him.

Who cares about a friggin pickup truck? That's a symbol? Of what, exactly? The boobs he purchased for his wife are more of a symbol than a pickup. Geesh.

Maureen Dowd calls him "Flintstone Fred," but I call him "Cred Thompson." He drives around in a beat up ol' red pickup truck--what more do you need to know? That he was chauffeur-driven by an aide to within a mile or so of the campaign stop before taking the wheel of said truck? That he was a Nixon apologist as chief minority council for the Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (the "Watergate Committee")? Wait, I'm changing that to "No Cred Thompson," beat up ol' red pickup truck or no beat up ol' red pickup truck.
