Happy Birthday Fred.

Thanks for making no effort to win the 2008 nomination which was totally up for grabs.

You’d have been a fine candidate had you woken up prior to the South Carolina primary.

Yeah, Fred really didn’t seem to try all that hard to win the nomination. Still, he’d have made a fine President.
