FRED ON TV ALERT

[TheRobster]

FRED THOMPSON will be on the TONIGHT SHOW with Jay Leno TONIGHT. In the Central time zone that is 10:30pm.

Everybody watch. He could announce.

Hunter could have done exactly what Fred is doing and positioned himself for maximum exposure. The thing is, he hasn’t been willing to think outside the box and get himself noticed. That’s his own fault and nobody else’s.

Ding ding ding. Quoted for truth. You echo something I said a while back.

[Petronski]

Yeah, you got me too.

Methinks you are conversing with a DUmmy plant...
just a wild guess!

[Yaelle]

If he had announced today with Leno at 4, wouldn’t we have heard it already? We heard about Schwartzie’s announcement MINUTES after he did it at around 4 pm PST. Thompson didn’t do it.

[A CA Guy]

He’s announcing July 4th.

[monkapotamus]

"You are correct Sir!"

[condo_living_is_nice]

I’d say you’re right p_r_s, in that he hasn’t done enough to position himself away from the rest of the GOPer-RINOs. Too darned bad, IMO.

Hi, just heard on the ABC news break on radio that Fred was asked if he will run and he said “there are things that I think should be done and the only way to do that is to be President- yes” . Sounds like a YES to me.

[Politicalmom]

You’ve been hanging around perfect_rovian_storm and Petronski too much. :p

[Petronski]

Sounds like a YES to me.

That CAN'T be. I was given very specific expert assurances!

[Politicalmom]

Yes. I already saw an article stating he did NOT announce. I didn’t want to post any spoilers. :)

[SuziQ]

He’s probably there to discuss the HBO movie in which he’s playing President U. S. Grant. I believe it debuts on Thursday. I’m sure there will be no end of winking and nudging done by Leno about the race, but I doubt Fred will announce in that venue.

[Balding_Eagle]

I hope not. His announcement venue should reflect his conservatism.

[Lightcutter]

Hopefully he won’t announce anywhere near that liberal Leno...

Of course he is tight with the bigwigs at NBC, so he might throw them a ratings bone!

Leno is about as funny as roadkill.

His writers have had some big fun with the Paris Hilton hijinks!

It's been out for a couple of weeks already. I've been waiting for one of my spendthrift friends who pops for HBO to invite me over. I'd bring the beer!

Hey Petronski it’s too early (ITE). ITE is my favorite phrase about Fred, the other nominees for President and the Red Sox. Too early to get too excited about any of the above. I will not fall into the Democrats plan to push early and people lose enthusiasm.

[Petronski]

It is very early, but Fred is the closest thing to what I require from a conservative presidential candidate (electability included), and I haven’t found anyone else in the race to give me any hope.

Anybody hear what was said during the Tonight Show pre-segment? I just missed it.
