cue the Law and Order theme.

 

[JackyJackBN]

Cue the D_B theme.

 

[BigSleeper]

Guess he didn't have a plan.

Fred, why now? Why not six months ago?

 

[Mr. Homer]

Fred in 08 — I guess not. Mark it down: The GOP has no chance at taking the White House.

What is wrong with good-old reliable conservatism? Why does it have to be sexy? Or awake?

It's hard to generate that desirable lean-and-hungry energy when you're buried under lobbyists' checks.

 

[Mr. Homer]

Have I mentioned yet the GOP has not chance?

 

[Boomer7]

Stack 'em and rack 'em.

 

[Second Thoughts]

Any word on another campaign adopting his wife for photo shoots?

Mrs. Fred was pissed about not being the hottest potential first lady. No amount of botox and trickery could make that skank comparable to Elizabeth Kucinich.

Not to mention when you've got ADD and can't stay on task, Breaker of Leopold and Loeb.

Hardly a ripple in the big picture.

Every election needs a crackpot with no shot.

I guess that role now falls to Huckabee.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Thank God...

 

[JackyJackBN]

I guess that role now falls to Huckabee.

So this means you're giving Ron Paul a shot?

*******.
There goes Canberra.
Now I'm back to voting on the merits.

 

[forever_town]

Did anyone NOT see that coming?

Fred Thompson didn't. Otherwise, he wouldn't have quit his day gig.

 

[nafselon]

I think you have at least show you want the presidency a LITTLE. Thompson listened to too many people who told him how easy it would be and he'd be like Reagan 2K8. His effort wasn't going to motivate anyone to vote for him.
