Glamour Grandpa Fred Thompson moseys on out of the Republican race; Wins Louisiana hours later (!?)

I imagine he'll resume his long-term career as a lobbyist/Hollyweird actor.

I never understood the enthusiasm amongst so-called conservatives for Thompson. He was transparently lazy & unfit for the job. I think that because he was a self-identified conservative and an actor, conservative morons just lept to the childish conclusion that he was the 2nd coming of Ronald Raygun.

Thompson might have actually had a fighting chance if he would have given his hot 2nd wife a more prominent role in the campaign ;-) His campaign should have also created campaign ads where he pretends to be a President who cross examines 'terrorists' in the kangaroo court at Gitmo. Wingnuts love that sort of razzle-dazzle; that's why they're so easy to dupe.

It could have happened if Thompson was actually capable of having an original thought & wasn't so goddamn lazy.

UPDATE: It seems Thompson would have won the Louisiana delegates hours later if only he knew what the hell was going on. More evidence that he was totally unfit for the job. More evidence that Wingnuts love incompetence as long as the incompetent *sounds* tough & authentic.
