So Frederick of Hollywood thinks he will win because...

[salin]

folks have seen him on Law and Order. Seriously. From a NYT article:

If Mr. Thompson was subdued on the stump, he was more animated in an interview as he discussed some of the criticism of his early campaign effort. He bristled at the notion that his campaign had had anything but a strong beginning. And he suggested he was being held to a different and tougher standards by “the pundits” than his opponents because, he said, he was defying the rules by getting in so late.

“That’s what happens when you go against the grain and test a new theory out,” he said. “Some may be vested in the notion that you can’t get in this late, that I’m trying to just say, ‘well, they’ve seen me on “Law and Order” and that will carry me to the presidency.’ They just don’t think that is right.”

Old Fred is a true contemporary republican - he wears his contempt for the citizens on his sleeve.

1. Let's elect Lisa Kudrow for President, then.

Well, I've seen her on 'Friends'.

And I think she would be a better President than Thompson.

2. No kidding!

and "Stinky Cat" would be an interesting campaign song.

6. Ooh, ooh, ooh! Viggo Mortensen!

I've seen him in a few movies.

3. Don Knotts was pretty "Law and Order." He's dead, but he still has a better chance than Fred. nt

4. Subdued on the stump?

More like he IS the stump.

And what an attitude. “That’s what happens when you go against the grain and test a new theory out”.

What's new about that? Second-tier Hollywood star becomes darling of the gated community?

Fred's a bust. All those conservatards who are waiting for the second coming of Ronald Reagan are finding out he's still as stupid and arrogant as the first one.
