Fred Thompson appeared with Jon Stewart on Friday night and completely disarmed the host of the Daily Show.
If Fred had shown more of this Reaganesque, self-deprecating wit on the campaign trail, he might have won the Republican nomination for President in 2008. And he couldn’t have fared any more poorly than the feckless John McCain.

May as well. Ronald Reagan worked out... not perfectly perhaps but it worked out and he was an actor and a in your face kind of guy.
Lo-ho-ho-ve Fred!
I thought he lost because New England Democrats were allowed to vote in Republican primaries and picked John Disdain. I live in Pennsylvania and we seldom have any say in Republican presidential primaries.
He would have so solidly kicked ass on what we now have in the White House...
But in the end, "the wisdom and inherent good judgment of the American people" gave us what we have now...
That made me LOL!
agreed, what a great line
