Fred Thompson’s Consolation Prizes For Not Being Elected President
Napping and throat clearing his way to a three-hundred-and-forty-ninth place finish in the Republican primary was apparently not enough to allow Fred Thompson to save the Republican Party in 2008.
So he gave up, turned his old campaign website into an Italian house of gambling, and then proceeded to take a very long nap.
But now, he’s back!
And even though he can’t be president, he still gets to do two things that are almost as awesome:
1) Replace Bill O’Reilly on the radio, and record himself snoring loudly (but all folksy like!) for an hour each day.
2) Act in this amazing, life affirming commercial with Charles Barkley:
He may not have been able to save the Republican Party, but at least Fred Thompson got to save radio and television!
