Tired Fred Thompson

3:26 pm EST September 12th, 2007 | News | 2 Comments

Hollywood actor Fred Thompson has said “cut!” and already taken a break from campaigning. Already. From the DNC:

Less than a week after a lackluster announcement tour, former lobbyist turned GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson is already tuckered out. Instead of hitting the ground running and talking to voters about the important issues facing our country, Thompson is taking a break and does not have any events scheduled for today. Thompson, who is already playing catch-up due to his late entry into the race, has had a relatively light schedule this week making only scattered appearances. In addition, Thompson’s campaign continues to be beleaguered by criticism that the campaign is low energy, boring, unimpressive and that he’s not ready to put in the hard work needed to win.

“At his current pace, Fred Thompson will still be trying to catch his breath while voters are casting their ballots,” said Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Amaya Smith. “Americans deserve capable leadership that’s ready to meet the demands of the highest office in the land. So far Thompson is proving that he just doesn’t have what it takes.”

Frederick of Hollywood is also playing loose with the facts.

    I hope he wins the primary, because there’s no way he’ll have enough strength to run in the general election after that.

    Hell, I’m still hoping Newt will enter the race. There are still a lot of unhappy Republicans looking for someone new and a Newt Clinton battle would be funny and an easy win.

    I glanced at the teevee while making dinner tonight and they were showing a clip of Freddie and it sure looked to me like he just had some Botox work done on his face (how many gallons you think it would take?).
    I’m going to keep a close eye out next time I see him on the tube.
    It would be really funny if news got out that Freddie has time to get Botox shots, but not enough time to pay his respects to God on Sundays.
