With apparently nothing better to do with his time right now, Fred Thompson decided to get off the couch and do some of that thing called "campaigning." Looks like he's decided it's time for the bottom feeders of the GOP to be heard by the voters of South Carolina:"There's an argument going on in the Republican Party right now," Thompson said to about 300 listeners crowded into a Golden Corral restaurant on Anderson Road. "We're down a little bit to the Democrats, so do we need to be more like the Democrats? I don't think so. Call it populist, whatever you want to call it. It always winds up more government."Ha ha ha! Fred Thompson, you're so funny!
Merchants presented him with gifts as he walked down Congress Street. Children asked for his autograph, and Mayor Eddie Lee proclaimed the day as "Senator Fred Thompson Day" in York.
After hearing Lee read the proclamation listing reasons why he deserved it, the senator offered a unique thanks.
"I'm Fred Thompson, and I endorse this message," he joked. "Last time I said that it cost me a lot more money."
UPDATE
One of the commenters on this story seemed to think that I'm only picking on Fred because of the way he looks, talks, acts, etc. I want to assure everyone: I snark on substance, people! Here are just a few reasons why Fred Thompson should not be allowed anywhere near the White House:

I like Fred but where has he been? Think this is pretty funny. Former Reality star and former congressional candidate Raj Bhakta goes out in search of Fred Thompson on the campaign trail. funny stuff. here's the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=34eIaC7rWjU
check it out for a laugh.
The bigger laugh here is the bottom feeders of punditry have attempted to parrot in on the MSM spin.
BTW, is Rajah Bhaksata another parasite pundit, does he have his green card handy??

Well chomp, chomp, chomp. I calls it as I sees it, and I'm not impressed with the idea of Fred Thompson running this country. Sorry, Wingnut -- I mean Winghunter.
This is the first time I've written anything here about Thompson. Interesting that I'm getting these kinds of visitors. Methinks the Thompson fans are feeling a little desperation going into South Carolina.
