Where is Fred Thompson?

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Mitt Romney was in Michigan, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada and then went back to Michigan. Rudy Giuliani visited Florida, Michigan, South Carolina, Alabama, Washington and New Hampshire. John McCain went from Michigan to Iowa to New Hampshire.

But where was Fred, as in Fred Thompson?

Besides participating in his first presidential debate in Michigan last Tuesday, Thompson was missing from the campaign trail. The former Tennessee senator and star of NBC's "Law & Order" was scheduled to be in New Hampshire this weekend, but canceled. New Hampshire voters noticed....

Thompson was supposed to visit a fundraising breakfast for Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta on Friday. But on Thursday afternoon, Guinta's campaign e-mailed guests to let them know it wasn't happening. The note cited "scheduling conflicts for the senator."

Thompson is scheduled to surface on Monday for a Fox News Channel interview, and evening remarks to the Conservative Party of New York.

Thompson has been to New Hampshire just once since he formally entered the race in September, and that was for a two-day trip that included visits to a chili cook-off, three bars and a rally. The New Hampshire Union Leader, the state's largest newspaper, said in an editorial last week that Thompson's pledge to campaign here often hasn't proved true....

1. It's my understanding that he has to sleep in his native soil

Or else the brackish ichor in his veins will dry to powder.

2. where's garlic when you need it?

LOL!

Seriously, if he's not up to it physically - and he doesn't look very robust - he should drop out now and save himself all the snides he's getting for being lethargic. Or, if he is up to it, he must've thought it'd be a cakewalk, as people like Chris Matthews chirped on the first rumor he was considering it. Dumbasses.

There's nothing pundits hate more than being made to look foolish - they worshipped his aftershave before he even slapped it on, and now they look idiotic for all the ridiculous slavering over him that went on for months. They'll never forgive him for that.

3. His handlers are following Mark Twain's advice ....

"It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."


They figure they should only roll him out when absolutely necessary.

7. This is serious, I think the guy's cancer has returned

And I know you all noticed how much make up he had on at the debates. Top Ten Idiots said it all when they said the republicans had their first non-white candidate. That make up was on so thick, it is a wonder he could talk.

8. Fred should just be called Senator Blubberbutt.
