Fred would stare the asteroid down, and the asteroid would turn around and aim itself at some other planet, preferably one with muslims and illegal aliens on it.
Better Fred than dead!.........
“• Fred Thompson: He would announce his intent to mosey on down to the Pentagon and see whether the generals had any ideas about dealing with the doggone thing.”
Or....
Fred would announce his interest in maybe dealing with the problem, but he’ll let us know in a few months. In the meanwhile, he’s taking a nap. Secretary of Defense Hunter and the Generals came up with a plan to destroy it, but Fred says, aw shucks guys, there’s plenty of time.
Boom.
All the Democrat candidates would blame Bush.
I don’t think candidates should use asteroids.
Rusty Griswold: Hey, ya’ got Pac Man?
Cousin Dale: No.
Rusty Griswold: Ya’ got Space Invaders?
Cousin Dale: Nope.
Rusty Griswold: Ya’ got Asteroids?
Cousin Dale: Naw, but my dad does. Can’t even sit on the toilet some days.
And John Kerry, though not a candidate this time around, would point out that he served in Vietnam.
Don’t you get rid of those with Preparation H?
Fred Thompson would say, “Damn it, McLane, I told you to stay out of the tower. This is a restricted area!” Then Bruce Willis would have to land on the asteroid himself and plant a nuclear device...wait, I think I’m mixing up two movies.
If it’s a big rock, you gotta deflect it. If it’s a missle headed for NYC, guarenteed to knocl down several bldgs. and kill millions, let it coome on in. We can’t have no missle defense!!!
Ron Paul: “Our continued presence in space has most certainly upset the asteroid. If only we were to completely pull out of space the asteroid would have no reason to want to hit us.”
Ass steroids? The Hildebeast flatly denies ever having used them!
“• Duncan Hunter: He would say, “See? I told you we need a border fence.”
Sweet! lol
FREDeralist!
FREDinator!
FRED state!
FRED, White and Blue!
FREDDY or not...
Barry Walters and the rest of the “Greenies”

would be jubilant at the prospect of half the
HUMAN earth abusers being wiped from it.
Just not them.
Thompson would consult with generals an technology experts to come up with a set of plans and contingency plans. While this was going on, the media tells everyone that Thompson has "waited too long" to get started and should be "doing something" about the problem right now.
When Thompson announces the plan, he lays out the problem, the results of doing nothing, and the risks involved with the plan. He is immediately branded as a "failure" before the plan is even put into action.
Meanwhile, over at Free Republic, while most folks understand and support the decision and make their preparations, a few obnoxious vocal minorities start with their squawking.
One group will claim that the asteroid impact will "clean out the RINOs once and for all. Another sect will be relieved that it will prevent a Clinton from ever being in the White House again. Ron Paul supporters will claim it's our own fault, and that doing anything about it will simply invite more asteroids to attack.
I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
