Go get ’em Fred

Posted on August 31, 2007 | Comments Off on Go get ’em Fred

It’s official, with this news release, though the formal to-do, via Webcast, no less, isn’t until next Thursday. Some say this will lure overweight and shrill AlGore back into it, but the inconvenient truth is he’s a has-been–even for those Dems who know Obama is too young, and Hillarity too soiled with Slick Willie’s reputation. But are we really ready for President Fred? Do enough people care about the unfriendly profiles Fred is getting and will get in the MSM? I doubt it. Fewer people all the time pay attention to big media anymore. Are there enough Fred Heads for him to get nominated? I think probably yes. But why give up on Rudy? Could they be persuaded to run with each other? Would Rudy agree to play second-fiddle? At least with Fred in, it will get a lot more interesting.

A Fred to be read

"Realism? Yes. But also idealism, which is what makes us different from our enemies."

Especially when some polls already have him leading Rudy and the rest of the pack.

Oh, Fred

Posted on June 6, 2007 | Comments Off on Oh, Fred

Just chanced upon a picture of Fred and the Mrs for the first time. Had not seen her before. His "child bride" as his detractors put their 63-40 age difference. Indeed, she has liability written all over her commodious decolletage. Getting her into modest clothing would be a good idea, but it may be too late. Maybe nobody will care, but crotchety old prudes like me. I fear they will, and old Fred will flame out. Envied, I suppose. But not president.

UPDATE  For those who don’t care, or at least not that much, Fred is taking contributions.

Close the borders

Posted on June 1, 2007 | Comments Off on Close the borders

Now Peggy Noonan is saying it–or maybe said it before but I missed it–in criticizing President Bush for ad hominem attacks against party detractors of his immigration bill. Maybe Fred’ll close them. I haven’t been a Republican voter long enough to know whether it’s true that when you lose Noonan, you’ve lost the GOP. Mysticchords’ John Salmon thinks she’s a poor analyst, but Instapundit started saying last fall she was leaving Bush behind and taking the conservatives with her.

Go Fred

"Politician-turned-actor Fred Thompson plans an unconventional campaign for president using blogs, video posts and other Internet innovations to reach voters repelled by politics-as-usual in both parties, he told USA Today."

Fred on the immigration bill

Posted on May 17, 2007 | Comments Off on Fred on the immigration bill

“With this bill, the American people are going to think they are being sold the same bill of goods as before on border security.  We should scrap this bill and the whole debate until we can convince the American people that we have secured the borders or at least have made great headway.”

Announce, Fred. Announce.

Or is there a bill?

And I don’t mean Fred, Texas. Imagine. President Fred. FOF. Friends of Fred. Better Fred than… Gotta love a candidate who makes his transcript available beforehand. Keeps the media honest. Go Fred.

UPDATE  His hometown wants him. Fred wants to win in Iraq, as well as to enforce the US-Mexico-Canada border.
