A Big Mean Redneck Waiting in the Wings

Get ready, Dems, Fred Thompson is on his way.

He's a shrewd, strong, silent type. He's John Wayne with a law degree. America can't wait for him to throw his hat into the ring. And he's the only real threat the Democrats face in the coming presidential races. He's waiting in the wings, letting the lesser Republicans get beaten into submission by the pundits before he strides in to save the day.

That said, let's be honest. American's prefer a strong, authoritative father figure over a nagging mom with big calves. Even if you hate your drill sargent dad, when the ruthless gang of bikers have your little sister and mom tied up in the master bedroom while they make you bark like a dog in the living room, you pray your dad will get home in time to go Stacey Keach in 9th Configuration on their asses.

But don't forget, Fred is also a big mean redneck and a lawyer. If you want a laugh and an insight into all things Fred Thompson, check out John Saleeby's take on him as an interesting motherfucker. I couldn't have written it better.
