Robert Novak's "important neutral Republican" sources all hate Hollywood Freddie Thompson because the famous movie star did not hire them or ask for their help when starting his campaign to be our TV president. So they have all told Novak,in private, that Thompson's campaign has "crashed and burned on takeoff." They do have a point: the man didn't really make a big splash with his Conference Telephone Call Announcement (the Tonight Show thing doesn't count, because he'd already announced basically and he didn't even ride a motorcycle). But Republicans still intensely hate all their other candidates for being closet abortionists and adulterers and Mormons so Freddie still has a chance, even though he very well may also be one or all of those things himself.
