The Law & Order candidate

   The potential antidote to the surprising Mitt Romney juggernaut -- the actor and politician named Fred Thompson -- finally visited New Hampshire yesterday to a great and furious clamor. He briefly touched upon the importance of security, free speech and tackling bloated government bureaucracy during a stop in Bedford. When he left, Republicans who had come to hear his prophecies lamented to the press that they wished Thompson had spoken longer. In the school-yard romance of the New Hampshire primary, did he have them at hello? One thing's certain: Thompson, who promised to be back, knows when to leave a stage.

Yawn. How come no one cared when this genius retired from the Senate?

Don't you remember? We were both there with him! Oh, those bills we almost passed!

[Dan]

btw, Dear Primitive One, what part of "a great and furious clamor" lacks sarcastic snark? One more Hollywood type, perhaps a reformed porn star or recovering alcoholic, and we've got ourselves a race.

[Shawn Macomber]

I don't know. Which part? I am SO confused.

If this porn star thing is your attempt to draft me into the race...well, that was eons ago and it was never supposed to end up online.
