Senator, attorney, character actor, Fred Dalton Thompson brought much needed gravitas to the race for the Republican nomination. From the months of breathless anticipation waiting for Fred to enter the race, to his electrifying speeches to packed houses, he gave the Republican race a boost that history will show saved his party, and dare I say it, this country.
God, I could barely write that without throwing up.
In reality, despite the adoration of the right wing blogosphere, who just about christened him the next Ronald Reagan, his campaign could not even get off the ground. He gave hints about entering the race for months, finally announcing on that bastion of conservative thought, The Tonight Show. He failed to raise much money, and despite the presence of his buxom trophy wife Jeri, his appearances on the campaign trail were about as memorable as his role in Curly Sue.
Disclaimer: I did not know he was in Curly Sue before I looked him up on IMDB. To be fair I could have mentioned other roles such as the voice of Sir Trenton in Racing Stripes. Or his critically acclaimed guest spot on "Roseanne" as Keith Faber. Ok now I am just being cruel. Sorry Fred.
Nevertheless, Fred's exit from the race will surely sting his devoted and braindead supporters on freerepublic.com, who used him as a vessel for all of their hopes and dreams. It will be interesting to see how they try and spin his exit as yet another MSM attack on their chosen one. Most likely, many of them will refuse to believe it, just as they refused to believe the liberal media lies about his foundering campaign and general corpse-like demeanor.
To them I say, stand strong true conservatives, one day a new Fred will arise to return the GOP to its former glory.
Also, Season Five of Law and Order will be out on DVD soon.
