Jim Geraghty has another Fred Thompson update (one in a continuing series).
And, from my inbox — my Brit post last night only made some love Thompson more:
On the Brit's dissing of Thompson....I could be wrong, but I read this as a snobby European thing.
Europe has much in common with American liberals in that Republicans are generally seen as stupid, and Republican actors are particularly stupid (especially as they don't see the liberal light that the rest of the arts community does).
This is the same stuff Reagan had to put up with..."stupid, vapid actors."
Ironically, Thompson is both more intelligent and more accomplished outside Hollywood than any of his detractors.
Yeah, and the old man still has it! How many other 50 year olds were out banging hotties half their ages. Women aren't attracted to a guy's looks, kid. It's all about self-confidence and the personal heat you're packing. At least Fred never played dress up and speaks with a lisp. Fred's a REAL man, not some cross-dressing New Yorker.
Unlike Rudy, Fred wears the pants in the family and stays out of his wife’s closet.
Is this crap really necessary?
Love this line.
If your whole post is from National Review’s KJL, I’m a little suprised...she has been praising Romney to the skies ever since he announced. Maybe she’s watching his poll numbers.
AND he isn't spending any money to get it!

Sounds like Fred might be Chuch Norris’ bro?
There's enough good men in the field and waiting in the wings to whip the Democrat's butts. I believe we might even take back the House and Senate.
Can't believe that Americans will stand by and watch our great country belittled by these traitorous wusses.

Thompson Analysis from Britain: [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
The talk surrounding a Thompson candidacy is more a sign of Republican discontent with the current slate of candidates than genuine enthusiasm for what he could bring to the race. While he may shortly jump in the ring, he is unlikely to trouble the leading contenders.
If a vacuous British word-smith creature of the night were escorted around the bars of Boston, would their Herculean leap across the bar to place their muzzle under the tap at the first pub that had Guinness indicate their genuine enthusiasm for the stout, or just be the result of their discontent with the choices on tap at all of the places they had tippled in up until then?
I would add celebrity status and mucho money to the list too.
My problem is not with those who say positive things about Giuliani. My problem is with those who call me a Hillary supporter when I dare point out facts about his record, and say I can’t vote for him.
My problem is not even with those who want to bet the farm on a candidate several different GOP constituencies can’t support — even though that is an objectively risky bet that may negatively affect all of us! My problem is with those who plan to throw those dice, but pre-emptively blame others in the likely case that their own gamble doesn’t pay off.
