LOL........ entertaining read in the midst of all this bloviating going on.

Howlin, click the link and read....

Fred Thompson hasn't declared, but should. He has been waging a stealth campaign simply by appearing as a guest host for Paul Harvey. He sounds like a man with his boots on the desk and a star on his chest. As a veep, he would make John Edwards look like Peter Pan. For the debate, Edwards might as well show up in green tights.

I just love James Lileks. He is simply funny, and I think there is some truth in a great deal of his humor, especially in this piece.

I also liked the line about Mitt looking like he came from the presidential quarry, and the later one that no one would be surprised if he turned out to be an android. HA!

Also the description of McCain was spot on!

And I think Howlin can appreciate the visual of Edwards in green tights. Snort!

LOL..........I love that!

A penetrating analogy. Lileks has nailed it.

I wish Thompson would declare, as well. But, though he's never said so, I get the impression Fred Thompson wants nothing more to do with Washington.

That counts in his favor, so far as I'm concerned. But it's an attitude that isn't going to foster a candidacy.

Thompson spent ten years in the Senate. And, for his troubles, he got to see Trent Lott and John Glenn at their slimy, cynical worst. Not to mention a front row seat in the "Bubba Does D.C." performance. I suspect, if I'd endured what he endured, I wouldn't have any interest in running for higher office either.

That's good enough for a re-post ... I like the prospect:

I scanned the current Pajamas Media Straw Poll .. sorry, it's a little fuzzy.

Can't believe Kucinich is ahead of HER .. and surprisingly, Thompson leads Tancredo, McCain and Hunter.

Fred Thompson was one of those "conservative" senators that did not vote to convict Bill Clinton.

He was one of my senators, and was not that impressive.
