Fred Finally Makes an Announcement

Scott Ott put together a funny story at ScrappleFace.

Former Sen. Fred Thompson today finally ended all the speculation by announcing he will, in fact, seek the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2012.

“It took me a while to make up my mind,” said Mr. Thompson, the star of TV’s Law & Order, “but if we’re going to mount a serious challenge to President Clinton in 2012, we’d better get a move on. I’ve got to assemble a national organization and raise some big bucks, and we’ve only got 50 months or so before the primaries.”

The former lawmaker, and make-believe law enforcer, will turn 70 just three months before the 2012 general election, but he said he’s now “almost as healthy” as septuagenarian Sen. John McCain, and he expects to feel even better by 2012thanks to President Hillary Clinton’s national health care program.


Wonderful way to poke fun at Thompson's delay "strategy."
