Fred Thompson

The shamble. The disinterest. The plodding. The thick, ridiculous accent. Yes friends, failed candidate Fred Thompson is back on the scene!

Former GOP presidential candidate and close McCain friend, Fred Thompson, is set to join the presumptive GOP nominee during his visit to North Carolina next week. Since losing the South Carolina primary on Jan. 18, Thompson has been absent from the limelight-even choosing to drop out of the race via written statement.

Remember kids: McCain/Thompson 2008: Because Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau couldn’t make it.

    And he’s old too! And doddering. Just like Grandpa McCain! HA!

    Hey, speaking of senior moments, look who else has been having them, although I’m not sure what his excuse is:

    “Did Senator Obama know to whom he was speaking? Likely not. That’s been his problem lately on the campaign trail–not knowing exactly where he was. He even made a joke about it in Hickory when he tried to recall where he had just met someone whose story he wanted to tell. “We were down in–where were we?” Quickly he came up with Winston-Salem, and everybody laughed. Monday in Wilmington, however, not only did he seem not to know Wilmington but the date and time, saying that it was “March” and “nine months to November.” The fact that his audiences are largely composed of die-hard fervent loyalists usually masks this underlying dis-connection.”

    Contrast with Hillary:

    “But it’s worth noting that Senator Clinton always knows exactly where she is and to whom she is speaking. On Sunday in Wilmington, for example, her opening remarks touched in quick succession on several important things about the town: the glorious setting on the Cape Fear River, its connection to the military, the upcoming commissioning of the new submarine North Carolina there next weekend, and the fact that “this country has been very good to me and to many of you,” for people who are lucky enough to live in Wilmington are lucky indeed.”

    Damn those anti-Obama/pro-Hillary idjits on the Huffpo.
