Holly Bailey of Newsweek agrees with Lane and it could cost Fred 10-15% in fines...Not a nice way to start off a campaign. Breaking the law for the L&O/Aqua Velva man.

well, there goes that perception of "being not so bright" that Nixon inserted.
Jeez, y'know, it never even occured to me that Fred was stringing out his official announcement (while still maintaining a high profile as a "possible" candidate) to squeeze as much L&O name recognition as legally possible. He's cagier than a polecat in a henhouse, that Thompson feller...
Just another law-bending to the point of breaking Republican dirtbag.
Way to start out your campaign, Freddy.
"...the minute you walked in the room..." Baaa---BOOM " ...I could tell you were a man of distinction , a real big cheater, , , HEY , BIG CHEATER..." WHAA WHA WHA WHAAAAA...che-e-e-e-e-t , a little time with me ..." Dum Dum Du Dum Du DuM !
Ahhhh, but can't you just smell the English Leather?!?

Illegal?? How could it be illegal? He's a Republican. They make the laws the way they want and Alberto Gonzales stamps them with his seal of approval, and they claim executive privelage if asked.
And he looks very unhealthy to me. He is one of those "grey" people. Waxy and wan.
Just as he was acting as a candidate before he was a candidate, now he's acting like the president before he is the president. And we all know that the law doesn't apply to the president.
He is destined to be an asterisk to a footnote.
Chrissy Mathews must be in tears.
The guy is ancient, he's got cancer, how long would he last. Then we would have his vp as a president. What are they thinking? Maybe, it is their long range plan to get another neocon in as president.
freddy knows this is wrong. Any one giving this fool money should be ripped off.
repugs will naturally break the law
I'm still thunderstruck by the very idea that anyone would *want* this guy as their candidate. I mean look at him. He's one big nothing.
Perhaps Fred can pay the fines using funds he raised for the Scooter Libby Legal Defense Fund.

LOL.. hysterical!
Republican: (n) - a political entity that, if given the opportunity to skit financial laws, will do so at every opportunity.
do you all remember the thread from the other day about the different types of flamers?
go to lane hudson's letter to the fec to read the letter and get a bit of comic relief -- read the comments.

hudson must have been mentioned on some right wing site cause there was a swarm of trolls...with some really (unintentionally) funny things to say so do read the comments.
you can see several of the flame stereotypes represented there.

HAHAHAHAHA
he looks slimly to me, like a typical repug.
Looks like Thompson got caught for being too much of a presidential wannabe tease...
The part about his organization allegedly raising fund money for that possibility...
Should make his eventual "official" campaign debut that much more interesting with an investigation hanging over his head....
This man would make a teriffic president, I mean he is already breaking the law with aplomb. And he is tall. And he smells good. And his wife is a Pole-ish dancer. And he is a Hollywood actor.
What more can 'Mericans expect?
Breaking the law should make him electable!
cheating so soon? wow, he hasn't even started. he's perfect!!! melanie morgan must have a hard-on over this.
When will "The Gucci Loafer" admit he's running for president?
Maybe never.
Why?
Easy!
Can you imagine The Loafer running for any reason?
Of course not, he'd blow a valve damn near as quick as Dirty Dick!
The best GL can manage would be a slow stroll, as we see from his visit to the butter cow.
Fred "Gucci Loafer" Thompson: He may get there eventually, but don't hold yer breath, pilgrim!
everything old is new again! ah he smells like ronny reagans corpse
once the judge gets a whiff of this guy he'll through the charges right out of court! - Tweety Bird Matthews
LMAO -- not sure whether I prefer "The Gucci Loafer" or "Frederick of Hollywood!"
[...] Not to be outdone by Rudy’s penchant for jack-assery, it seems that Freddo has seemingly violated FEC election laws by raising more money for his non-campaign that most of the other GOP front runners. At this rate, [...]
What a musky smell of embarrassment DeadHead Lazy Fred gives off.

soothsayer-I hadn't seen Gucci Loafer, but I like it. How about the Hollywood Idle?
Edwin @ 6:
Oh, that's just the Aqua Velva and the Brylcream that gives him that "grey" appearance.
Anyone that would vote for such a poor excuse of a politician as Fred Thompson seriously needs to stop and think hard as to WHY??
There's nothing conservative about Thompson.
He is already breaking the law, in fact he is screaming out loud and hard "I WILL ignore the law if I'm elected" and he is already showing his prejudices and ignorance.
He will do nothing more than dig the US into an even deeper hole than it's already in.
Why would anyone even consider this nobody for the top job?
People ignorant enough to vote for this clown don't deserve a vote at all.
Yeah for Lane Hudson!!!!
I am so proud that someone from the net roots movement and blogosphere keep on showing this country what is really going on.
Can you imagine if sites like this didn't exist, we would be kept so in the dark depending on Tucker Carlson and Lou Dobbs to deliver the news to us.
Good going Lane...........and the rest of you..now get outta here
jack jett
ha ha! you gotta love it when someone comes quietly out of left field and totally sticks it to da' man!
PNAAC: probably smells more like old spice.
Kudos to Lane Hudson. He's quickly becoming one of the best political bloggers. Commitment phobic Lurch Thompson needs to quit his fake "quest for the White House" aka stall while his agent gets him a better tv series deal than he had with Dick Wolf
I am a Republican and I have been waiting for someone to file an FEC complaint for sometime. This campaign is nothing more then an actor to go out and get people to worship him. He looks horrible and has no business running IMHO. Will someone explain to me how the co-author of CFR can have so many conservatives supporting him? They have turned into pretzels.
What's with the Senator from OK? He knows full well he was backdoored on Chinagate by Thompson throwing in with Glenn but he comes out for someone who looks horrible and cannot make a speech that is not underwhelming. Fox News reported on Thompson's lackluster performance at the VFW today when he cannot even read a speech.
Why is he running? He is not qualified to be President and is not ready for prime time. Anyone that supports Thompson should get a reality check. This man is losing weight rapidly and cannot seem to keep his mind on even his written speech. He was totally out of it at the VFW speech. What are his supporters thinking?
nirak @ 20:
Damn right!
If anything this will recommend him to the Rovian "winning is everything" demographic.
another gay tie
maxbaer (a replica only) @ 29:
Fred Thompson stars in "The Gucci Loafer." Opening in theaters sometime this month...or pretty soon now.
I coined it over at Hullaballoo, but it was so obvious that I couldn't TM it... ;-)
freddy the freeloader is another cowboy who is all hat and no cattle. just what america needs
This trick on the FEC by Thompson didn't go unnoticed. Another of his tricks did. His riding in a golf cart at a state fair. The old geezer has some medical problems he's not being forthcoming about. He rides because he can't walk for lengthy duration.
[...] waited too long. Now his psuedo campaign is the subject of an FEC complaint. Some members of the media have endorsed the [...]
He looks like a dead duck.
"Breaking the law for the L&O/Aqua Velva man."
He looks like he reeks more of formaldehyde. Oh, and that day old Depends smell..........
Tony Snowjob has metastatic cancer. Fredrick of Bollywood also has metastatic cancer. Neither one of them will be around in 09 so might as well let Fredrick play around like he's going to be president.
His wife is young enough to be his daughter and he couldn't even walk the state fair in Iowa he's in such bad shape. Oh yea, he's going to make a wonderful President, much like the current president George W Booosh. Just what we need to finish off America.
