Lazy Fred Thompson on SNL (Video)

Darrell Hammond gives us the famously lazy Freddie Thompson on Saturday Night Live. The uninformed and uninspiring Freddie Thompson explains that he kinda wants to be your president, but it's hard work. Meanwhile Freddie is preparing for his first debate -- tomorrow night. We hear that expectations are so low that Freddie may win if he just shows up and refrains from drooling.

NY Times - On Stump, Low-Key Thompson Stirs Few Sparks:

Twenty-four minutes after he began speaking in a small restaurant the other day, Fred D. Thompson brought his remarks to a close with a nod of his head and an expression of thanks to Iowans for allowing him to “give my thoughts about some things.”

“Can I have a round of applause?” Mr. Thompson said, drawing a rustle of clapping and some laughter.

“Well, I had to drag that out of you,” he said.
