Here’s Fred Thompson, the laziest presidential candidate ever whose entire platform was to chase Mexicans in his red truck and then kick ‘em in the butt, offering for some reason his take on economics, for eight minutes. He raises a number of good points about our economy being founded on bad credit and overconsumption. He does this from his rich mahogany office with a fancy cigar in his mouth. That is all.

I would like to kick Fred right in his old, saggy, wrinkly, nutz.

Fred Thompson so unmotivated, he has the neighbors yell at the kids on his lawn.

StephanieInCA December 2, 2008 at 2:53 pm

Are you sure that’s Fred Thompson? It looks kinda like Rosie O’Donnell in that horrid video blog.

NoWireHangers December 2, 2008 at 2:54 pm

Maybe Hollywood Fred can save the economy by cashing in the gold hidden in his droopy facial labia.

Dave J. December 2, 2008 at 2:55 pm

“I’m Fred Thompson, bringing you some holiday cheer. No, I’m not talking about that kind of cheer.”

Er, what is “that kind of cheer”? Handjobs? Thank god, then, that he’s not talking about THAT.

NoWireHangers December 2, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Gross, over at RedState they’re masturbating in the comments about a Thompson/911 ticket.

Serolf Divad December 2, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Why hasn’t someone parodied there horrible, embarrassing videos?

metropolitan December 2, 2008 at 2:56 pm

oh geez, i can’t believe we passed this guy up for president.
i’ll be kicking myself in the ass for the next four years.

Serolf Divad December 2, 2008 at 2:58 pm

[re=189147]Dave J.[/re]:
Yeah, that’s the first thing that went through my mind, too. Though maybe he was referring to a fifth of “Old Granddad” whiskey. Or maybe he was referring to a handjob after polishing off a fifth of “Old Granddad.”

Lordy, the Red Staters need a reality re-alignment..

SayItWithWookies December 2, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Eight minutes?! Fred Thompson wants me to spend more time watching him drool than he spent campaigning?

Shamey December 2, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Wow, down home folksyism and big city sarcasm do NOT work well together…

Couldn’t Dipshit McGoo have his wife read this while displaying her udders? ‘Cause then it might be worth watching. This way….meh.

HHHMMMMMMMM…..

He’s too lazy to even say the word economy. He calls it “the ‘conmy”

Can’t wait for him and Sarah Palin to co-chair the GOP.

shanemcgowan December 2, 2008 at 3:03 pm

Unwatchable.

Anonymous Office Zombie December 2, 2008 at 3:06 pm

Bwhahahahhaaa! Fred Thompson’s been to Washington, so he understands the complexities and intricacies that might be over the head of the average, non-Thompsonian genius.

The GOP is staking their future on cornering the down-home folksiness market.

CuntryFirst December 2, 2008 at 3:06 pm

So what LazyBoy is saying is that if gubmint didn’t spend America would be as prosperous as rural Tennessee.

Send that man a Super Tuber with a colorful bow. Might cheer him up.

Would have been a much better video if they were killing something in the background, and like, draining the blood out of it into a big bathtub.

pondscum December 2, 2008 at 3:15 pm

Didn’t this asshat retire from politics? Can someone please make him STFU already?

Styrofoam Boots December 2, 2008 at 3:16 pm

I was going to watch the video but thankfully it was said in the write up that it was 8 minutes long. Whew!

Mongo December 2, 2008 at 3:16 pm

Doesn’t it look like he’s selling soap?

So…

He spends what? Five minutes grossly distorting Obama’s position and then offers no other solutions? The problem is I agree with the whole living beyond our means got us into this point but he’s just such a shitbag.

Yeah, dipshit, the WPA was just giving half the people shovels to dig holes while the other half filled them in. Did you enjoy that electricity you had growing up in Tennessee? It must have magically sprung from one of those holes, Fuckbrain. We need public works projects not phallus sucking shitbag actors making fun of them.

sezme December 2, 2008 at 3:54 pm

He’s like a sleeping pill in human form.

Woodwards Friend December 2, 2008 at 3:54 pm

Did he have a bowel movement at the start of this internets video?

Heywood Floyd December 2, 2008 at 3:57 pm

You mean the sophistication of the new economy doesn’t involved feeding ‘fat guys’ doughnuts?

sezme December 2, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Oh my gods, I made that comment like hours ago and he’s still there stone cold yammering away! He’s like that narrator in the Rocky Horror Picture show who everyone shouts “you have no neck” at.

Godot December 2, 2008 at 3:59 pm

I’m not sure why he’s attributing the economic policies of the Republican Party to Barack Obama and then attacking them. I thought HE was the Republican, not Obama?

Chief Grinning Eagle December 2, 2008 at 4:18 pm

[re=189211]nurple[/re]: The reason Fred’s a bad actor is – like Tom Cruz – he always plays himself in each role he takes. That bothered me less before the Scientology thing got out about the latter. A good enough actor will have you wondering for at least a few seconds who it is in that role? That’s how it was when I saw Mia Farrow in Broadway Danny Rose. Once I knew who it was (Allen’s then wife no less) then I had a sort of warm self-congratulatory feeling at the same moment I was thinking – wow, she’s a better actress than I thought!

That was not Rosemary with the thick Jersey accent.

Woody always plays himself more or less, but at least he’s funny.

Fred Thompson isn’t even known or liked for movies he made if he made a few appearances. Wilfred Brimley defended Jack Lemmon for shutting down the nuclear plant. Wilfred Brimley forever! Fred Thompson isn’t Wilfred Brimley. Wilfred Brimley is a a good actor. He makes Ronald Reagan look nothing but an old Fart. Come to think of it why isn’t Fred Thompson selling borax? I want to hear him selling Lava or something. “Only one thing gets these hands clean Mr.” “Neo-conservatism.”

If I’m channel surfing and there is a re-run of “Lord and Daughter” with Sam Waterston in it, I might actually watch it for three or four minutes. Show me Fred’s ugly mug, I’m off to watch Charlie Rose or Colbert someone else who is a better actor.

For a second I thought he was going to discuss Jeri’s tits.

Keram2 December 2, 2008 at 5:26 pm

But what about the millionaires in New York that work in SMALL buildings? HEEENNNGH, Fred? What about them?

LuckyJim December 2, 2008 at 5:28 pm

Enough, already.

Stack ‘em, rack ‘em, and pack ‘em Fred. Man, it’s been a long fall since he appeared with WALNUTS! in Die Hard 2 (Die Harder!)

I can see the campaign now – a rambling mumble fest of inchoate vague ideas voiced with “geez-whiz” conviction.

ladymacbeth December 2, 2008 at 7:09 pm

ok, so i understand fred understands more about the economy than my lady bits could ever understand (besides shopping). however i also understand from pretty much every ecomonist out there who understands the economy and who has studied the economy and understands how to deal with The Economy Tanking that this is EXACTLY when we should be deficit spending our way out of woe.

mumbles to self: ladybrain cannot square circle.

this is an old man ironic *wink, wink* rant…something which is allowed those who need help with their diapers…

the best way to stop one of these rants is to offer the old man a fudgescicle…believe me, it works..
