I think old Fred was Huckabeed!

Fred Thompson = Quick Draw McGraw minus the excitement.

He shoulda stuck to bit roles in actions flicks, where his lack of acting chops didn’t show so much.

If Fred Thompson quits campaigning, how would we know?

And will they even bother to wake him up for the press conference?

Oh, but he showed so much promise! The man’s like the Second Coming of Reagan! Or at least the exhumation of Reagan.

If Fred Thompson quits campaigning, how would we know?

OOOOH — a Zen koan. I love those!

It’s like Schroedinger’s cat, or the “Soldier in White” from Catch-22. We won’t know if he’s alive until someone tries to wake him up. Right now, he’s in a ‘undetermined quantum state’

It bears repeating. I HATE this new format. Go back to the old one. Your traffic is down, posting is down, comments are fewer. Please. This format SUCKS. I realize the holidays have something to do with it, but I spend less time at FDL main as well also due to the suckiness of the format.

Thompson is truly a man for the ages (75-99).

Who’s Fred Thompson?

I will surely miss the Thompson twins!

DUN DUN!

The best thing about him running is that they finally got him the hell off Law & Order. He was a serious drag on the show!

If Wrong Said Fred drops out, then Jeri will challenge Judi G. for the right to ride another set of bald old man coattails to the White House.

Jeri is going to be soooooooo pissed!

Now, there’s a question for the gambling-inclined:

Who will post a faster time between her husband dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination and the filing of her divorce papers – Judi G or Jeri T?

Indeed Plummet, and the bra that holds them off the floor.

OOOOH — a Zen koan. I love those!

So, he’s not dead or sleeping, he’s meditating?

Absolutely. This format sucks the soul out of these blogs. I even have to click a link to see what the bassets are up to.

I can see the argument that the FDL front page needs this format due to the frequency of posts. I’d still disagree with that position. But I see no reason to use this format for the individual bloggers. Why make them all look alike?

Aside from the inconvenience of having to click to find out if the post continues for 2 lines or 2 screens, the biggest problem with the format is this:

The ads are the only images of any size once you drop below the header.

This new format is like reading a newspaper page where the only graphics and photos are the ones placed by advertisers.

It is depressing.

Fred Thomspon ran because the GOP was desperately looking for -anyone- who would excite the conservatives.

The GOP pulled out, what, 10 possible candidates? Well if you fire enough bullets, eventually one is gonna hit.

Fred Thompson was one of the bullets that missed. Big deal. It was GOP money that was flushed down the toilet anyway.

I’m just amazed to see that that one guy is still making up Fred Thompson Facts. Wotta maroon.

I’m not sure if this is premature. It certainly looks like Rudy is dead, tho.

Fred ain’t runnin’. He’s walkin’.

hahahahahaha. I kill me.
