Fred Thompson is going back to Hollywood
By John Amato Monday Mar 24, 2008 12:02pm
I'm still trying to figure out who ran the worst campaign in the history of politics in the last 50 years. Was it Thompson or Giuliani? (OK, that's a little harsh) It had to be Rudy the front runner, but Fred ran a close second. Anyway, after his humiliating defeat, Fredrick is heading back to Hollywood.
Former Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson is returning to his career as an actor and signed a deal to be represented by the William Morris Agency, the talent group said on Monday.
The 65-year-old actor and politician was a candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. president before dropping out of the race in January after garnering little support. Arizona Senator John McCain is the presumptive Republican nominee.
Maybe Dick Wolf will create another spinoff series: L&O: Lazy-boy Intent. About an aging DA that's just too tired to show up in court. Or, something...

But they left no forewarding address.
Yeah, oh Freedo will be playing 60-something Indiana Jones's grandpa.
How about a TV show about a failed plastic surgeon trying to work on his own face?
Poor Mary Matalin....rootin' for sag face, sleepin' with serpent head.
His next gig should be playing a dead guy in the hospital bed on HOUSE or SCRUBS.
God he needs to wear a tie to cover his turkey neck.
Turkey neck or double chin the choices we have to make.
Hollywood and Bollywood
Todays most popular superficial visual clue.
Tyra and Britney
WOW! Crooks and LIARS... and not one thing about Hilarious'Clit's sniping adventures in Bosnia. Nice!
$10 says his next role is that of President of the US.
WHO.CARES?!
Hey, maybe they will remake the real McCoys.

Don't you have anything important... or at least relevant... to care about??
Late night infomercials in your future Fred....JD

Selling cheap plastic kitchen gadgets with "Chef Tony"?
Good luck Freddy.
After all the smack@ you talked about liberals and Hollywood- you'll be lucky to get Ben Stein's spot for eye drops.

If you ask me they are too good for her. She deserves worse.
I think it's a mistake to say Fred "ran" a campaign. "Moseyed" maybe, not "ran."
Schpuntz @ 9:
F*ck off.
does he get to keep the red truck?
Oh god, go away old man. Just go ride off into the
sunset somewhere and play golf for the rest of your life.
.
Instead of backing McTorture, Thompson backs Hollywood.
.
Lyndon LaRouche's campaigns are recognized as the worst in modern times. Okay, after 2008, the second worst.
Well, he can always play the little brown jug with the Viagra Jug Band...
Schpuntz @ 9:
How'd this get past the SiteMaster?
Fred's and McBush's new movie-"No Campaign for Old Men".
I can doze off and be incredibly boring and lifeless as well -- where's MY acting contract??

Hillary didn't ask mccain if she could borrow his bullet-proof vest.
HAHAHA... however to really capture the true spirit of the Fred campaign, olde Dick would have to have lazy writers, lazy PR people, lazy directors, lazy everything. Basically, NBC would end up showing a picture of a confused plotted plant taking a nap and it would end up on air, 4 or 6 weeks late, in the wrong time slot.
He never left, he's been acting all along......
ysbaddaden @ 28:
Ha! Yeah, he was so well-padded on his 'casual stroll' around the market in Baghdad (escorted by an armored batallion) he looked like the Michelin Tire man.
I think Giuliani ran a worse campaign simply because he was actually trying to win. Old Fred pretty much admitted he was running just so his new trophy wife could get some attention.

"So are you going over to the Rightie blogs to complain about their lack of coverage of McCain’s continuing delusion that Iran (Shia) is allied with Al Qaeda (Sunni)?" Annoyed Canuck
Great idea except they will not let those kinds of comments on their sites. You might get it on but it will be scrubbed off ASAP. That's how they run the media. We only get news that the MSM thinks we need to know. Shameful for the Fouth Estate but it's the state of the state in Amerika these days.
Poor old Fred should be looking for nursing homes in S. California so he can be lodged with his fellow Bollywood, wine drinking, cheese eating "liberals". hehehehe Time for some Aricept, grandpa Fred.
Are they planning any more zombie movies? I hadn't heard.
Schpuntz @ 9:
We all seem to have missed it the first three thousand times it was posted here. Try thicker foil.
caption: Fred Thompson, Creature from the Black Lagoon.
If you count his neckrings, you can get a free popcorn.
The MSM is really devastated about this. Fred was going to save America, the world, and most importanly, the GOP. He was the guy, the Aqua Velva man! Newsweek even did a cover story about him called "Lazy like a Fox". The jist of the article was that Fred seemed like he was lazy and stupid, but he was really a genius and quite brilliant.
It was basically Bush redux. The MSM haven't learned a damn thing from the last 7 years.
Dick Wolf took advantage of Fred entering the campaign to make sure Fred couldn't come back to "Law & Order" by promoting Sam Waterston's character to the DA role.
He'd be a shoo-in on a remake of "The Munsters" if they hadn't already done one...
SO??!!!
I love Law and Order but I can't stand Fred Thompson !. He spews his twisted view of right wing justice on this terrific show and it makes me sick . I just watched the episode were he claimed that Reagan's Iran/Contra scandal was a left wing conspiracy and I ended up spitting coffee all over my living room.
If he gets that new show, I hope he lives out the season. This guy looks sick, pasty, UNWELL!!!! He already looks like he is the waxworks likeness of himself.
"Maybe Dick Wolf will create another spinoff series: L&O: Lazy-boy Intent."
I prefer to think he'll star in Law & Order: Special Needs Politician.
Oh well, I enjoyed his rather hilarious role as "presidential candidate."
Hey kid...pull my finger.
We don't want him either.
Back to Hollyweird?.........he never left!
Perhaps he can be the voice of SpongeBob's dad...Wringly old decaying bastard Bob.
Good Lord, that man is only 65? I would have guessed much older than that.
WHY did he ever run??? I can't figure it. He knew he had no chance of winning, he didn't put in any sort of running effort, and he didn't add anything to the conversation. So, why?, what did he hope to accomplish? I don't get it.
Schpuntz is absolutely right. Barack "I don't like American names" Obama and Hitlery lying through their teeth to try and bolster their woefully inexperienced and unqualified records while poster children for prophylactics drool their sniveling insults.
"At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats." - P.J. O'Rourke
Winghunter @ 51:
Interesting, I didn't hear about a Creature of the Black Lagoon remake remake in the works. All Fred will need some green spray paint and web extensions between his fingers and toes. Talk about a role he was born to fill.
No, actually what was said is he's going back to Frederick's of Hollywood for some more leather corsets and whips for his trophy-wife.
I can hear the phone call from theWm. Morris agency right now.The agency-"Hey Fred We just got a cal for a hillbilly,inbred,old,ugly fuck in a new Stephen King movie. No make-up required".
