Fat, lazy, old actor with cancer will begin hobbling from state to state in hopes of becoming the next incompetent president of the United States. Thompson hitting early-voting states By Sam Youngman June 22, 2007 Former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) will make trips to South Carolina and New Hampshire next week, The Hill has learned. Thompson has been flirting with a presidential run and in most circles his entrance into the race is already a foregone conclusion. Scheduling trips to the first and second primary states is sure to add to that speculation. A South Carolina GOP official confirmed that Thompson will be in the Palmetto State Wednesday for a roundtable luncheon with the state party. After the South Carolina stop, Thompson will travel to New Hampshire. There the former senator is scheduled to attend a fundraiser for Republican state senators and have a private sit-down with the Manchester Union-Leader newspaper, according to a state GOP official. The campaign trip comes after a Tuesday swing through Nashville, Tenn., where grassroots supporters are trying to drum up a warm showing for the presumed candidate even as he lands at the airport. “Wouldn’t it be wonderful for him to be greeted with a real Tennessee welcome so that anyone following his swing through these states will get the message (loud and clear) that this is a Favorite Son Tennesseans are proud to see moving toward the White House,” grassroots activist and longtime supporter Barbara Outhier said in an e-mail obtained by The Hill. Thompson has been putting pieces into place as only a candidate would — hiring finance directors and scheduling fundraisers. thehill.com
