Hurricane Fred Fast Approaching

It has begun. I saw a "Fred Thompson for President" bumper sticker yesterday in the parking lot of The Hungry Bear (Woodland Park, CO), where I was enjoying a plate of perhaps the second best biscuits and gravy on the Front Range.

The RNC thinks he's on his way to save their sorry asses. Good luck. I think America's interest in him will be a passing fancy, unless there's some domestic terrorist activity or international threat right before the primary. All the other Republican candidates who've announced their candidacy or not, except maybe Joe Leiberman, are going to genuflect before him and vie to be his running mate.

Careful, boys. Fred don't partner up with no sissy Jims.
