Fred Thompson is supposedly jumping in to the republican presidential nomination process soon. My friend over at Elephant Biz is in love with the guy, so I decided to make a list of Fred Thompson's Top Ten Problems to provide a balanced perspective.
- He is old. At age 65 (he'll be 66 in August), he is entering the political dead zone.
- Speaking of old, he shares his August 19 birthday with Bill Clinton. That can't be good karma for him.
- Fred's wife, pictured here, is 24 years his junior. Can you say "trophy wife?"
- Fred's wife is running his campaign. That never works!
- Fred used to lobby for the abortion rights group the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association.
- Fred is lazy. During his time in the senate, he didn't really DO anything!We've seen how the lack of intellectual curiousity can kill our country (George W. Bush)
- Fred is NOT the good ol' boy from Tennesee that he would have you believe he is.
- Fred was a lobbyist for Equitas, a company that paid Fred more that 750 k to lobby on behalf of reduced payouts for asbestos-related claims due to criminal negligence.
- "I knew Ronald Reagan, Senator, and believe me, you are no Ronald Reagan." Trying to compare Fred Thompson to Ronald Reagan, as every good conservative will try to do, is a losing battle.
- He is an actor. Need I say more?
