It's as if they put this candidacy together in Hollywood, but as usual they did not want to pay for a script writer. Perhaps he should just do a powerpoint presentation instead of an actual speech. He could run credits there at the start..... as the would-be President of the United States.... Fred Thompson. Casting by Lynn Stalmaster....

I'm really tired of the "Southerners are dumb" thing. The fact is, that Reagan and George Bush took a heck of a lot of Northern votes. How dumb is that?? Let us be kind to one another and not start the Civil War all over again. There are many brilliant Southerners, i.e., Duke University, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, etc.

...and he's butt ugly to boot.

I just think the whole Fred Thompson thing makes the Republicans look really desperate.

The M.f. puts you to sleep. I'll be damned. Think of how may people have been looking for a method of sleep for years. There is something to be said for that though; better than 24 hours of fear. This is the same presidential candidate that said Iraq had WMD before they went in. Dam.

It seems without a script, Thompson is just an empty suit with no substance. He should just give up and stay at home with his young wife.
Some Americans are real idiots. They think that an actor can be a good President. They cannot seem to be able to judge a candidate, his intellect, and capabilities. That is why we are stuck with an incompetent, arrogant, frat boy, who has made the biggest mess in US history.

But he'll make more on the speaking circuit after this. Just wait and see. The same with Gingrich, Guilani and everyother wing nut running. This is just good business.

As Grocho said "He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don"t let that fool you. He really is an idiot"

Some people thought he was a somewhat slow hill-billy.

Then he opened his mouth and dispelled all doubt.

We all knew Reagan wasn't presidential. After he ruined the economy and our trade policies with the 'trickle down' bullshit, our prescient stance was validated.

Now, here comes bubba gump with all the gee whillikers, gosh darns and all the unintelligible southern drawl one person could possibly stomach.

One can only hope America is smarter than to vote for this cretin.

On the other hand, the religious wrong don't like him at all. Might be a great thing if the republiconned fall for this schtick one more time.

America is SO OVER Southern-STUPID

Is it possible that we finally have discovered a candidate so lame that even the lamest American voter perceives it clearly? That's a victory in my book. We now have our bench mark. We know there is a definable limit to how low we will go in electing presidents. We simply won't be Thompsoned!

Crickets are chirping about your candidacy Fred, can't you hear 'em?

Kudos once again to Huffpost for printing the latest

campaign photo of Old Wrinkled Freddie.

The article bears out the truth shown in the photograph.

From the looks of his campaign, Thompson being

described "lazy" is quite wrong. He is "dead lazy."

The Great White Hope will be heading back to Hollywood

very soon though why anyone would give him a job

in film or television escapes me. Smart producers will

find new talent instead.

He says the same thing to his wife after collapsing from another 4 A.M. 'wakeup quickie'.

Time to stick a pitchfork in Fred, he's done....

I bet the actors who actually stared in "Law and Order" (Fred was on every few weeks for a cameo --he was a bit player-- hardly one of the team (Sam Waterson, etc) who carried the show for a decade of success) are pissed as hell at not getting their syndication checks....

Their income stream is cut off because this dork is "wandering aimlessly for the Presidency -in between his naps and dementia"

the creature from the black lagoon has no energy. he's just running to say he ran.

Wait till he breaks out his bible and start carrying a flag into every event. Hell he will probably drape his bimbo wife in a crown and give her a magic wand! The Republicans are a washed up bunch of old white rich guys, who love tellin everyone what to do, how to live and bombing the hell out of everyone. In their spare time they like to give those big tax breaks to their rich boot lickers and take away healthcare from kids. Good by and Good Riddance to them all!

Chattanooga, Tn anouther local Republican resigns in shame from the same city council that former Mayor Bob Corker Presided over.I like to call him Senator Walmart.
He and Congressman Zack Wamp are rubber stamps for GWB. Check their voting records. They were instrumental in the draft Fred Thompson plan. These I call the deliverance boys.You know, Christan when it suits them.
I here Bill Maher say all the time he just can't figure out why people in the South are so.....well dumb.
Get Zack Wamp or Bob Corker on your show and you'll see what I'm talking about. They are sooooooooooooooooooo full of shit and they and they especially Zack are all for Freddy. Personally I don't think he'll make through to become the candidate.But thats there deal.

Fred should stick to reading other people's material & give up auditioning for the President gig.

Thompson's been in show business long enough to know that asking for your own round of applause is equal to dying onstage. He'd have been better off by ending with, "Excuse me, but I have to go shoot myself in the face now."

zzzzZZZZZzzzz. I wasn't sleeping I was just resting my eyes.

Good ole Fred only rents an old pickup truck when he's campaigning.

You Guys have Gotta go to the "Rolling Stone" piece on Fast Freddy! This crowd sounds like the same one Matt Taibbi writes about:

"He gets audiences purring in a cozy stupor. Their eyes glaze over and they end up looking like a bunch of flies happily lapping up their own puke!"

No Sh*t! You'll love it.....

So independent voters were unimpressed. Maybe because they actually have a brain. Republicans will love Fred, he's stupid, greedy and lazy....perfect republican. Besides, he drives a red pickup and talks folksy southern, what more could we possibly need in a president?
