On the Tonight Show, the slowest moving transition from non-candidate to candidate justifies his choice to share the screen with Jay Leno instead of John McCain and Mitt Romney.

Per Ruthless People, "Frederick of Hollywood"!
Was it past his nap time?
Fred looks sleepy.
Hmmmm always hear people referring to those awful "Hollywood Types" that express concern and opinions..same folks put a "Hollywood Type" up for Pres.
When old men lose a lot of weight in a short time they always look older. Fred must have dropped a whole lot.
Hey everybody, "Do The Freddy!"
For all those Freddie And The Dreamers fans.
The LA Times has a great hit piece on Thompson and how he basically married into success....very interesting story
Jay Leno is no meano when it comes to "interviewing." I thought that I was watching a senior citizen softball game.
The Freddy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rt4VSKvU8Q
All talk, no substance. We've had too much of that already. Walk on by, Fred.
How can he be president? His fucking head is melting.
What a tool. What does that mean, its a lot more difficult to get on the Tonight Show? Was he just gratuitously stroking Leno's ego, or was he saying something about his access?
He's right about the debates, but I don't see him offering to go mano a mano with Ron Paul either.
Rusty Shackleford @ 10:
I love your King of the Hill reference in your name.
I live in OK and thats one of the best cartoons of all time.
Thompson is just a CFR shill. He was also a lobbyist for GE.
Doesn't Leno have to give the other candidates equal time?
And the Applause light goes on!
So we now have a former district attorney running alongside a guy who played one on TV. And who can forget his heroic role as Admiral Joshua Painter in The Hunt For Red October!
Maybe I need to spend a night at a Holiday Inn Express and declare my candidacy.
What great news...
This will torpedo Mitt and Rudy down south, and Mitt, a nasty boy
if ever there was one, will not like being in third place, and will
start firing lots of mud around.
Love to see the debate between Judith (don't call me judy), Fred's
teenage bride, and Romneys Wifey (my boys also serve in Iowa..
that's the same as Iraq, right?)
I wonder if Mitt and Rudy are now going to develop a drawl, like
Hillary did on her swing through the south....
This is just SO much fun, watching these clowns try to out macho
each other...
Ugggh... already saw this movie.... Didn't care for it much the first time and they at least had a buff dude who didn't look like he just got back from a holiday in Cambodia....
Looking like a worn out cancer victim is not the best public image to try and work when ya want to end up president.... But then all the guy really has is a gruff voice which does have a sort of faux J.E. Jones thing working.... But if voices were the prime criteria to judge by, I'd say Obama's voice can kick Freddy's voices ass.....jus sayin....Not really the criteria I vote on personally....
Truth is, Fred is not the best choice or even the third best choice from either sides perspective.... Still if his presence can delute and scatter the GOP vote... well, more power to em I guess....
Either way the fucker will never get my vote.. I don't care how many pr experts he hires to 'burnish' his image.... He's a tool now, he was a tool when he was in the senate before... He's shown he will always be a tool as well as a third rate actor.
And, contrary to the idea that he would at least be a good T.V. president... No...But big whoop... we don't want or need to have a good T.V. president anymore, we want a good president period.... One with their head screwed on straight, with the 'whole' nations interests at heart, not one specific party ideology... But Freddy woundn't even work as a good T.V. president... Ya need a Harrison Ford for something like that... He barely pulls off the sage D.A. role.....
I hope this play of Thompsons leads to a long career peddling junk on late night infotainment T.V.....maybe pushing skin creme or wrinkle reduction crap.......JD
Just imagine how sick he looks WITHOUT his makeup.
Thompson is a phony and his policies are dangerous. If you watch the whole interview, he peddles the same BS about his pickup truck (driven by a staffer before and after campaign stops while rich Thompson drove his Lexus) and he also offered a dangerously simplistic "good guys and bad guys," "civilized"-and-not folks dichotomy.
"my great grandfather went to college with Fred Thompson"-John Quincy Adams
Batocchio @ 19:
Republic voters only care about the image, not the reality.
Tell them Fred is a rich lobbyiest, not some truck-driving local, and their
eyes glase over.
Tell them "He's just like Reagan" and they start drooling and wet their pants.
Pathetic.
He just lost the state of New Hampshire just to plug The Tonight Show.
Patthemokey @ 8:
Gawd, that was awful.
I'd say all hat no cattle, but "all jowls no teeth" seems more appropriate. :)
pete @ 18:
Like this?

hollywood fred is just what this country needs, a former lobbyist, a man that slept thru his time in the senate, then left to work as an actor (corporations pay attention!! *hint* he will do an excellent job of looking into the camera and acting like his policy decisions are for the best interests of the public. believably, mind you, as he is a good actor), and then was completely indecisive and apathetic at running for the presidency...
yeah, just what the country needs...
/sarcasm off
But does he smell good?
When I closed my eyes and listened I was reminded of a cross between a bible saleman, a wholesale paint dealer and a tollkeeper on the turnpike.
Free Aqua-Velva for the kiddies!
WashStateBlue @ 21:
I wonder how that is any different than Democrats calling Bill Clinton and Barack Obama 'rock stars'. No drooling going on with them I take it?
dennis @ 30:
There is no sin in admiration.....so long as there is some basis in reality. There is with President Clinton, and Senator O'Bama.....not so much with this fake tool

miss_kitty @ 27:
Whatever he's slathered on it's to cover the old guy smell...
Can hardly wait to see more pics of him and his young wife...
Yeech....
A pox on those vid posters upstream who didn`t post sensitive stomach warnings ...
... like I`m doing now, for this. And now I must hurl, because no one hates G&S more than I do.
Vitam Vas @ 31:
He is a real tool.
Riveting! He is oozing charisma! Theres your next prez America.
Separated at birth?
http://members.tripod.com/DarrinV/store.gif
Dear God, he's on CNN right now. He's very ill.
baby jesus has been working on this missing chromosome problem,
but was unable to help Freddie
dilly @ 35:
He's oozing... but I'm pretty sure thats not charisma!
I have an announcement: Fred Thompson is a BORE. He is also bor-ing.
dennis @ 30:
Duuuuuude, your cognitive dissonance is deafening...
Sweet. Next time I'm having a hard time sleeping, I can just pop in this snooze-fest. Hollywoood Fred has the intellect of a toilet seat, and the insight of a glof ball.
New Depends -- absorbs twice as much charisma!
ldzppln @ 13:
Fred hasn't announced yet. He is announcing the he will soon announce, that he will announce at a later date.
Deputy Dawg.
Rethugs are pitiful.
Legalize @ 42:
Hey, watch your mouth, fella.
That's a dastardly slur against toilet seats and golf balls.
Weaseldog @ 44:
Frederick of Hollywood is just a little behind the curve, their campaign will announce shortly that they are already making plans for his victory party on Election Day, November 31, 2008.
Ok I gotta say does he have makeup on? is that how "well" he looks with makeup ? good lord, somebody give him a transfusion...seriously he looks too ill to run....like someone just woke him from his nap....or he needs a nap...I would pay $5 to see him and Ron Paul debate though....( he actually looks older than McCain...and that is saying something..)
Just back from lunch with a group of my friends(even tho many are Repigs) and we
disCUSSed Freddie. Could not believe what I was hearing..."they" said that Freddie
was sooo presidential(based upon his acting in L&O, and movies); he was a "father-like"
image; has a nice deep voice; in nice and tall; and that he would be better than most
of the other Repig candidates. Also, "they" informed me that his likeability and character
will go over extremely well in the South(mentioning Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
and S. Carolina). Wow...had no idea that a presidential candidate must meet such low standards in order to receive the nomination..at least in the Repig Party. Could not believe
what I was hearing, but then these are the same, exact, identical people who voted for
bush-lite.
If being a ponderous, self-important bore were a qualification for the presidency, Fred would be leading the field by 50 points.
I'll vote for him only if Pauly Shore agrees to run for VP
Lapdog Leno lets any Pug on to spread their propaganda swill.
The cowardly chickenhawk Dennis Miller was on days before that to promote his new 3 hour hatefest on AM talk radio. What a fat pig.
Lapdog Leno couldn't lap it up fast enough and there was drool coming from the corners of his mouth.
So actor Fred Thompson makes the decision, big whoop..
A HOMO CAPITALIST AUTHORITARIAN ASSHOLE INTERVIEWING
A LAZY HOMO FASCIST DIRT BAG.
WHATS THE QUESTION
Gucci Loafer! Fred Thompson looks comfortable in his skin. Like a good ole' hound dawg.
Problem with ole hound dawgs is, they don't do much but just lie around and snore. They don't run much neither, and they just as soon don't want to hunt. But they sure do look comfortable, yes sirree...
I've kinda had my fill of these so-called home-town folksy guys that you can have a "beer with."
Next!
Old Billy @ 23:
Thank god James Brown saved us from that kind of music!
Karen Hanretty is on the tucker carlson show, representing the Gucci Loafer's campaign, and she is so woefully incompetent it is hilarious. There wasn't even an "opposing viewpoint" presenter - just softballs from the bowtied wonder! Its worthy of a C&L clip.
If hiring Ms. Hanretty is any indication of his management and leadership skills, Frederick of Hollywood should just stay in bed for the next 15 months.
I was hopeful to see that most of the republican constituent weren't impress with any of the candidate in the debate, and Fred is so far under the water anyway. Ron Paul has one good point on the issue of foreign policy. I wish he brought up the reason why we are in Iraq. Under the embargo Saddam was getting desperate and lower the price of oil in the world market. People say that the French were taking advantage of that, but it doesn't change that fact that they wanted to control the oil of other country. Not so much about free trade that the republican party like to stand on.
We have jobs. Who has time for "candlelight suppers", to get to know them in depth, with each and every wingnut candidate? All it took was 1:25 to see your ugly mug on Leno to know I'd never vote for you. There's one down, 19 more to go. (Oh, yeah, 9 other GOP already crossed off. This is way easier than you think Fred.)
That man makes my skin crawl.
But then, all the repubs do.
.
The sad thing is, Americans fall for this shit. They elected an actor, Ronald Reagan, to make them feel good. They elected Bush, essentially an actor, because they wanted to feel "clean" and "moral." (Script for GWB provided by Karl Rove).
So they will probably elect another actor to feel good. Pathetic nation.
Y A W N
isn't it weird how one week the dude is not ready to announce and then along comes some people saying he is breaking the law by running a shadow campaignetc. etc. and within days he is ready to announce. i sure hope the way he handled all this preannouncement b.s. will continue to be investigated. some how some way repubes must be taught that they are not above the law and that gaming the system is not what we expect from our leaders, be they actors or real.
We already have an acting President.
Why does Thompson think we want another one?
Thompson is a week-old fish, with milky eyes and a smell, in a suit.
Maybe they can tart him up with some rouge and red lipstick.
He sure can't compete with Ronnie with that frizz of dead hair on his head.
Thomas Stone @ 63:
Bush was NOT elected either time, in case you were in a coma.
As for Reagan, he was NOT elected because he was an actor -- Ronald Reagan had one of the first rightwing radio shows and was a popular figure because of his ability to be charming and reassuring, something that Thompson will also not be able to compete on.
I notice he didn't mention that he's a cannibal.
Do you suppose that will hurt him in Kansas?
Jay Leno's first question, "Fred, how long have you been dead"? "Well Jay, that is something that will come out in the campaign".
He has raised very little money, his staff keeps quitting, and he has no organization to speak of in Iowa or Michigan or New Hampshire. Maybe he does in SC, but I doubt it. He has already lost.
chazaroo, that's hilarious.
'It's too soon in the cycle to commit to acknowledging my deceased status. The voters need to get to know me first.'
Jay Leno is an Uber-Republican. I used to watch his show until he started becoming more and more nasty in his jokes about Bill Clinton. Even years after Bill Clinton was out of office and long before Hillary announced her run for President, when George W. Bush was making the job easy for other comedians, Jay Leno usually stuck to the same tired, old, irrelevant Bill Clinton jokes instead of going for the obvious and current jokes about Bush. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was up for re-election as Governor of California, Jay gave Arnold time on his show but not the Democratic opponent.
Jay Leno says he doesn't side with either party, but his actions say that he does.
Snore.
Dennis @ 73:
He's mostly just lazy. And incredibly greedy.
I'm so happy Thompson is republican. He's just more of the same. Anyone who ever again votes republican needs to get his head examined. They're the party of rapid extinction. Bush saw to it.
washstateblue,
Hillary did NOT use a southern accent, she read a short passage with inflection, but for the rest of the speech she spoke normally. I hate these untruths...thought we were supposed to be progressive?
Where'd my comment go?
"Riveting! He is oozing charisma!"
His plan on healthcare? The deck of cards economy? The fact that our school system is third or fourth rate compared to other countries (all using various forms of public education, not free market non sense)? Our foreign policy? More of the corporate directed same? All of this is secondary, cause he gives one hell of an interview.
Either the person who said this was being sarcastic, is too dumb to vote or is a reporter for the corporate media posting here on break. A person with a working brain outside the DC bubble doesn't vote for president based on "charisma", if they have the capacity to think logically that is.
