Today former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist endorsed Fred Thompson – who isn't running – for President of the United States. Frist saw him on Law and Order and knew right away, without needing to actually see the actor in person, exactly the right diagnosis.
I've not talked with Fred personally about a potential run, so I am basing my thoughts simply on ... knowing the people across America want a genuine leader who represents them.
He hadn't talked to or seen Terry Schiavo, either. Apparently this guy just likes to make decisions based on what's on TV that day.
[in all fairness, the real quote says, "I've not talked with Fred personally about a potential run, so I am basing my thoughts simply on knowing him well, having worked with him in policy and politics everyday for 8 years, and knowing the people across America want a genuine leader who represents them." But it's funnier my way so I did a Fox News edit.]
