This should lock up the Matlock vote

Snoozy has-been Fred Thompson was supposed to cut an endorsement vid for his pal Newt Gingrich. But as Fred did so often during his short-lived campaign for the GOP presidential nomination, he plopped down in his recliner with a glass of scotch and was soon swept away by the sandman.

The Gingrich people called about the delay, but no matter how hard trophy spouse Jeri Thompson shoved the old fart, shouted in his face or shook him by the lapels of his green, crushed-velvet smoking jacket, Fred snored on. This is what poor Jeri spliced together to get the Gingrich campaign off her back:

The Gingrich people didn’t even notice the difference! Well, not really. But Fred has an interesting “Mirror Universe” Spock vibe in this Hannity clip.

A masterful compilation, Betty!

“I have come to the growing realization that Newt Gingrich is the guy who can articulate what America is all about,” Thompson said of the former House speaker on Fox News.

Then he went on to come to the growing realization that it was Monday, the growing realization that a ham sandwich wouldn’t be an unwelcome addition to the Thompson corpus about now, and the growing realization that the warm sensation he was feeling was triggered by his cocker spaniel’s tongue licking his hand.

No word on whether he got the sandwich indicted.
