Why NOT Fred Thompson for President?

posted Tuesday, 27 March 2007

People seem apoplectic because actor Fred Dalton Thompson's name has been mentioned as a potential Republican candidate for President.

Thompson has more experience in the Senate than Barack Obama, the darling of the US left. And he has all the other factors people list as desirable when they're talking about Obama. Hell, I'd even bet that he is "clean."

 "Not another actor in politics," they say. Of course when they say that, they're referring to Ronald Reagan, who became a politician after his acting career had faded. And they are neglecting all the entertainers who, without making the commitment to run for office will blather on endlessly and tastelessly with their political opinions. Sean Penn, for example, or (blech) Barbra Streisand.

Thompson is at least as qualified as Obama, and he doesn't have that "funny name" problem.
