Damning Fred Thompson With Faint Praise

Hey! Kinda sorta presidential candidate Fred Thompson (R-Law & Order) was in town last Friday, speaking to a bunch of people about how he’s going to run for president eventually.

His speech also apparently sucked. “It wasn’t a rousing speech, but it takes courage to do something more thoughtful and philosophical in this sound-bite culture,” said some chief of staff, which is a way of saying, “Well, his speech was awful, but I didn’t want to bash him in the newspaper in case he’s the Republican nominee next year.”

Thompson didn’t say anything mean about President Bush but bashed everything he’s done. Also, an actual declared Republican nominee for president (albeit one with no shot), Mike Huckabee, made a Mike Vick/dogfighting joke.

    Thompson should hire Alycia Lane to write his speeches while wearing a bikini. Maybe they’d suck less… oh wait…

    just go to fucking church where you belong and stop talking about “rousing” speeches.

    So much for the theory that if you do your schtick in back to back posts it might be funny (having proven on endless previous occasions that alone, they are [also] not funny).

    Maybe it is time to shake things up, maybe try “go to fucking Alycia Lanes Bikini and stop talking about Church!” Or you could just pull your head out of your ass and shut the fuck up.

    Ya, I like the second one.

    Thompson looks like he has one foot in the grave.
