Fred Thompson Renting Out D.C. Apartment For Inauguration: Report

The New York Post reports that former Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson is one of the many D.C. residents looking to make some money off of Barack Obama's inauguration:

FORMER Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is cashing in on next month's inauguration. A source tells us the ex-Republican presidential candidate and part-time actor, who did 142 episodes of "Law & Order," is offering to rent his luxury one-bedroom condo in Washington, DC, for five days. The price: $30,000. "It has a balcony overlooking the inaugural parade route, the Navy Memorial and the US Capitol, and comes with a reserved parking space," said our insider.

Will it include the tear stained pillows?

Just sell the apartment. It's not like he's going to needing an apartment in DC any time in the future.

The best thing about Fred running for President was that he's off "Law and Order". Go away Fred, and stay away. Nobody cares what you say.

I thought Foghorn Leghorn was an OLD cartoon.

LOL! An old SNL fan, I gather.

This is despicable. As if this millionaire needs the money!

I've got friends in DC, who are offering their place to friends for FREE, when there's a ton of cash they could make.

[joeythetrollslayer]

He's gonna need all the cash for lawyers, you know those pesky lawsuits, good ol boy networking stuff. Ask Trent if ya need to know more.

Alright.... now who up and woke Fred? You KNOW how cranky he gets when you tear him away from his "trophy wife" and make him do stuff. Like actually campaigning when running for President. LOL. He probably thought the job entailed just reading for it. Poor Fred, they STILL speak in low mournful tones at the riechwing blogs in reverence. Why don't we have a fat slob on the Democratic side we can obsess over and... oh wait... that's a rethug thing. Sorry!

[kwoodberryesq]

Sheesh and I used to like this guy on Law and Order! Should have known by virtue of the accent he was a sleaze!

Fred: But I was in Die Hard!
Homer: Die Hard 2.

Probably one of the best monikers ever. I bet Bill Hick's IS spinning (and laughing at Bush Jr.!)

[surfcitysteven]

Two different Bill Hicks monikers on the same page. Think I'll listen to Arizona Bay or Rant now. Good stuff.

[Roman777]

Thompson = GOP creep.

[SanityNowPlease]

Creature from the Black Lagoon? You decide.

Hell! I live in Baltimore and am tempted to pit an ad out for two of the spare rooms in my rowhouse!

God, he's one ugly man.
