Fred Zen
Uh, Fred -
That's the sound of one hand clapping.
-
Was that for his speech...
...or his acting?
-
Crap's Last Tape
Looks like the mantle of Saint Ronnie doesn't sit well on his shoulders after all. And frankly it's a relief that people are already cooling to him. I've had enough actor Presidents to suit me forever.
-
Poor Fred!
Poor Fred! It sounds like he isn't turning out to be quite the savior that many in the GOP were hoping for.
-
stick a fork in that turkey, it's done ...
unfortunately, I don't think they've got around to writing out or otherwise killing off (never to be heard from again, oh please) his L&O character yet ... oh joy.
-
Worship me! WORSHIP ME!
I'm sure Fred will demand even more worship from his minions, the American public and other world leaders if he becomes the Leading Man. Dare I say it: he could the single-most candidate who's actually WORSE than the current POTUS!
BTW: You have to imagine John Lovitz's devil character saying "Worship me! WORSHIP ME!" when reading my Subject line.

Dawn of the Dead*
Click on the New York Times link and look at the photo; Thompson's "audience." Most are probably there for the free coffee and/or kolaches or because that was the day's "Mystery Destination" stop on the retirement home's bus schedule.
Throw in McCain and Ghouliani and you'd have a real Halloween monster mash: a mummy, a vampire and a corpse, all running for President! Is this a great country or what?
(*with apologies to George Romero)

GO BACK TO LAW AND ORDER FRED
Apparently Thompson does not realize that he is in the real world now not on a TV set where adoring fans watch the show.
He looks like someone the cat drug up and the kittens refused.
-
Look on the bright side...
It's probably not too late for him to get back his old job as head of air traffic control at Dulles.
-
I think the rustling and soft applause
was given by the audience to wake Thompson up. Then someone placed a mirror under his nose to see if he was still breathing...
-
Dear Fred
Go back to acting. The crwods there applaude when the director indicates for it.
-
He may not be dead yet, but it sure doesn't look good for Frederick of Hollywood
Gotta remember, we're still more than a year away from the elction. And I see some high-priced mercenar.... uh, campaign consultants, being brought in to revamp the guy. Jimmy Carter was thought to be at a dead end when he made his "ethnic purity" remark about neighborhoods in 1976, and the same was said about Ronald Reagan in New Hampshire when he amused the reporteres on his bus by telling what is known out in the heartland as a Polack joke.
Still, those two at least had a bit more campaign experience in them and a lot more life in them.
-
Oops, scuse me....
I meant to say that I COULD see some high-priced talent coming in to pump some air into ol' Fred, not that I do.
-
Fred, don't ever leave us!
You can't write comedy this good. Seriously!
"Clap for me!" "That sucked; I had to beg for it."
Come on. I've got half a mind to send some money just to keep the laughs a comin'. I mean, sure Bush was funny, in a over-confident, dumb-guy kind of way. But the problem was Bush was really like a Frankentstein's monster--yeah, shades of "Young Frankenstein." Sure we got our laughs, but we always knew the malevolent son-of-a-bitch (And I'm not using profanity but referring to the circumstances of his birth.) would rip our throats out if given a chance.
At least for now, I have this hope that Thompson could be a jowly Foghorn Leghorn, one too lazy to cause too much trouble. So to put it in an idiom Fred would appreciate, I hope his campaign hangs on for a while, the good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise.
