No wonder Mitt Romney sicced attack dog blogger Hugh Hewitt on Fred Thompson. They’re scared (and sloppy).
A top adviser to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney appears to be behind the launch of a new Web site attacking GOP presidential rival Fred D. Thompson during his first week on the trail.
The site, PhoneyFred.org, painted an unflattering picture of Thompson, dubbing the former TV star and senator Fancy Fred, Five O’clock Fred, Flip-Flop Fred, McCain Fred, Moron Fred, Playboy Fred, Pro-Choice Fred, Son-of-a-Fred and Trial Lawyer Fred. Shortly after a Washington Post reporter made inquiries about the site to the Romney campaign, it was taken down.
I hope they don’t cannibalize each other causing Giuliani to win.
Based on recent photos they failed to point out “The Creature Fred”.
All they have to do is dye him green, slap on a couple of gills and have him slink out of a lagoon and they could cast him in a reprisal role for which he is photogenically suited.
The AP says the site was created by an independent author named donehue and was disavowed by Romney’s campaign.

From the linked aticle:
“…[W]e discovered it was created by an individual who works at an Internet firm who parked the site temporarily on the company server space of a firm whose financial partner is a consultant to the campaign — Mr. Tompkins.”
What an amazing coincidence. What do you suppose the odds are on that?

The movie was in B&W, so they can use his normal gray coloring.
Here is a good likeness.
