Fred Thompson. How to run a campaign.

Once considered the GOP's Lord and Saviour as the second coming of ~~Jesus Christ~~ Ronald Reagan, Freddie "Fred" Thompson (aka Frankenberry) and the loyal fanbase who urged him to quit his day job on TV and re-enter IRL politics to save the party from certain defeat at the hands of any Democrat with a pulse in the 2008 US elections, are currently looking like the fools who swore the Emperor was wearing new clothes in the old fairy tale.

Once a lazy Senator with a reputation for failing upwards, this gruff Reagan Republican had spent his recent years phoning it in as NYC's District Attorney in TV's long-running legal procedural Law & Order.

His remaining base.

When other candidates are enjoying non stop spotlight and glorious discussion of the issues, Fred Thompson has been relegated to the Skid Row of Political campaigning. Basically, no one gives a fuck anymore.

“	'We need to be a nation of high fences and wide gates.' A man in the audience called out in agreement. 'You like that?' Thompson asked hopefully. "Alright," he continued, looking for some momentum. 'Can I get a round of applause?' A few long seconds later, the crowd obliged.	„
—CBS News December 31st 2007. Even his BASE can no longer get it up.

History:TL;DR

Fred Thompson. He should have gone to Vegas with the kind of luck he has..

“	The lazier a man is, the more he plans to do tomorrow	„
—Fred Thompson -in his high school year book

Fred Thompson is -in a word- lazy. By all accounts, he was a lazy boy, a lazy teen, a lazy US Attorney and a lazy Senator. Even when courting his blue-blooded first wife, he was half-assed about it leading her father to question his acumen,lack of ambition and suitability for his daughter.

School

Fred Thompson (left). Doing Nothing..

At high school, his football coach in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, told reporters:

“	He was smart, but he was lazy. He probably could have been a straight-A student if he'd applied himself.	„
—Coach

He was a clown, known for tossing ice in the cafeteria, making paper airplanes and throwing pennies at the blackboard when the teacher wasn’t looking.

Legal Practise

Fred Thompson: The Hair Days. The lights are on but ain't nobody home.

During the breaking Watergate Scandal in the early '70s, Freddie served as leader of the Republican side in the Senate's investigation of President Richard Nixon's involvement. Years after Nixon's eventual impeachment, The Freedom of Information Act released tapes of the Nixon team's secret discussions about how much shit he was in.

In a May 1973 recording, Nixon shared his concern about whether his own party would go after him with then-chief of staff Alexander Haig.

“	He's talking to Fred Thompson.	„
—Haig

“	Oh shit, he's dumb as hell...Fred Thompson	„
—Nixon

In a later conversation Nixon and lawyers were still describing Thompson as not so smart but at least he was beginning to play ball.

“	We've got a pretty good rapport with Thompson. He came through fine for us this morning.	„
—Nixon counsel Fred Buzhardt

“	He isn't very smart, is he? But he's friendly.	„
—Nixon. A nice way of saying retarded

.

The Senate

With eight years in the Senate, his legislative record was almost non-existent. A former adviser is quoted as saying:

“	While the Senate is filled with ambitious men who aren't in a rush to get home at night, Senator Thompson kept a lean formal schedule, did the bare minimum to get by and then hightailed it to the Prime Rib or the Capital Grille.	„
—Aide

The Run For From '08

Official campaign poster

Before being pressured to run for the Republican nomination in the middle of 2007, he was a lazy lobbyist and lazy character actor after he quit representing Tennessee in the Senate because it was too much hard work.

Even Fred Thompson doesn't think he will become president. Chatting to a television reporter, a quip from the Hollywood actor cemented the impression that his heart is not in the 2008 race.

Whist trying to motivate his studio to hurry up and interview Freddie, a Fox News exec said:

“	The next president of the United States has a schedule to keep.	„
—Carl Cameron

Standing beside him, a deadpan Thompson interjected:

“	And so do I!	„
—Frank Fred

In fact, he had absolutely no ambition to be the President of the USA, he was just too lazy to argue with those around him who were pushing him to run.
