Is Fred Thompson On An Ego Trip And Does Running For President.....
make him more marketable in Hollywood once he drops out or loses?

What does the prospect of saying you are running for President do to his marketability as a star?

3. You are correct
those with 1% and 3% are definitely on an ego trip. Why are they wasting money, time and effort.

4. I don't think so
Kucinich, Gravel, and even Huckabee; I think they all sincerely want to change the country.

6. Huckabee has no reason to run, except that he lost a shitload of weight
and thinks we all should too--God told him so. He's an insincere piece of shit.

8. Okay,
I think his ego has led him to believe the rest of the country wants what he sincerely believes he has to offer.

9. Kucinich, for all his faults, is sincere--Fuckabee is a pandering
political opportunist. There is not a sincere bone in the man's body.

5. freddy-boy is DEFINITELY on an ego trip. He presumes to anoint himself
the "new reagan." If THAT'S not a republi-CON ego trip in gold-plating with pink ostrich feather pasties and gold lame Elvis platform boots doing the hoochie-koochie at Lady Lucifer's Pole Dancing Academy, I don't know what is.

7. Well, he is about 312 years old
So I don't think Fred has a whole lot of marketability left. But he's got that "Hey you kids, get off my lawn!" look down pat.

12. If it's ego, it will be a short trip.
The guy is an empty suit.
