Presidential candidates representing the old fuddy-duddy white male party are spending time at the Family Research Council's Value Voters Summit in D.C. this weekend.
Everyone is talking about "how awful" Tennessee's wannabe president Freddie Thompson is.
If Elected, Freddie Would Pray
Thompson drew soft, sympathetic applause throughout, bringing the crowd to its feet by admitting he had no idea what he would do with his first 100 days in the White House but knew what he would do in the first hour.
"I would go into Oval Office and pray for the wisdom to know what's right. In my first hour I would pray for the strength to do what's right," he said.
He might be ill
[Thompson] spoke with his chin often buried in his chest, his voice largely monotone, and he cleared his throat or coughed repeatedly, prompting some to wonder if he might be ill.
“He didn’t look good,” said Ronald Sell, 63, a musician from New York City.
Mr. Sell said he initially had high hopes for Mr. Thompson but left disappointed and wondering why as an actor, Mr. Thompson did not “at least have his lines memorized.”
“If he was the candidate, we’d be in trouble,” Mr. Sell said.
He Might be Acting
"That sounds great, but is it real? Or is he acting? That's what you don't know."
"What a sleeper. Not as charismatic as you'd think an actor could pull off."
Way too many views of the top of a bald politician’s head
Even Fred Thompson emerged from his cave long enough to make an appearance yesterday. Thompson’s tendency to look down and read his remarks provided the audience with some of the most prolonged views of the top of a bald politician’s head in recent history. When you feel compelled to use an index card for lines like, “We must have good laws. We must do our best to stop bad laws,” you have been spending too much of your life filming 30-second bits of dialogue.
What do you call it when the guy who never goes to church is the best hope the fundies have?
We call it karma.
If Elected, I Will Have The Hottest First Lady In U.S. History
