Cornpone Returns

I understand that Fred Thompson is itching to act now that he’s not a Law & Order regular anymore, but does he always have to do the phony “Oh, I didn’t see you” move in his cheesy web videos like this latest? Fred’s not offering anything more than warmed over conservative crap with his southern act (although that’s the region where the GOP has its remaining strength), but he insists on being a drama queen with it.

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.

Since When Is A Comparison To Fred Thompson A GOOD Thing

12:51 am EST April 16th, 2008 | Republicans | 9 Comments

In John McCain’s Bush 2.0 tax plan he rolled out Tuesday, former Fred Thompson staffer Sean Hackbarth sees echoes of old mint julep himself. Considering the way Thompson shuffled and ambled two inches in the campaign before falling flat on his face, how is this a good thing?

Of course, these are the guys who seriously think privatizing social security is a good thing. Yes, put our senior’s future in the next Bear Sterns or Enron. Brilliant! Go with that.

Grandpa Fred Thompson Continues To Disappoint

5:14 pm EST October 5th, 2007 | Uncategorized | 5 Comments

Fail, time and time again.

Thompson’s appearance last weekend at the annual conference hosted by Teddy Forstmann in Aspen was “embarrassing,” several attendees have told the Huffington Post, as he botched current events questions and suffered from verbal gaffes.

Amid a gathering of high-profile media, business, and government figures, Thompson made the strange claim that the Islamic group Hezbollah is in Afghanistan (it’s based and run out of Lebanon).

Asked whether he would carry over the people and policies of the Bush administration, the Tennessean offered a less than substantive reply: “I would keep the good things and let go of the bad things.”

And peppered by former Secretary of State Colin Powell as to why Thompson and other Republican frontrunners seem to be brushing off the African-American vote, the former senator “could not give a cogent answer,” a source told the Huffington Post.

Fred Thompson: I’m Not A Churchgoer

Oh, Fred, the religious far right can’t like that.

Talking to reporters later, Thompson, a former Tennessee senator, said his church attendance “varies.”

“I attend church when I’m in Tennessee. I’m in McLean right now,” he said referring to the Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., where he lives. “I don’t attend regularly when I’m up there.”

Thompson said he usually attends church when visiting his mother in Tennessee and isn’t a member of any church in the Washington area.

Romney vs. Thompson Heats Up

10:56 am EST September 6th, 2007 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Flip Flopping Mitt Romney and Hollywood Actor Fred Thompson are clearly vying over the same batch of the Republican base – the lunatic religious right – and as such you can probably expect some elbows to be thrown. In this instance it’s the Romney campaign’s all-but-unofficial blog hack Hugh Hewitt who essentially screams from the top of his lungs: “DID YOU KNOW THAT FRED THOMPSON HAD CANCER? YES, LIFE-THREATENING CANCER! CANCER, I SAY!”

Pass the popcorn.
