his adult diaper bag.
From TPM Election Central:
Thompson, meanwhile, enjoys the support not just of his ex-wife, but his ex-girlfriends, too. The Times quotes old flame Lorrie Morgan, who spoke of the man in rather favorable terms. "I think he has a great chance of capturing the women’s vote. He’s majestic. He’s a soft, safe place to be and that could be Fred’s ticket," Morgan said, offering the following rather graphic kicker: "Women love a soft place to lay and a strong pair of hands to hold us."
The HELL?!?! Fred Thompson is freakin' Grandpa Simpson!

It's not always good to be soft.

If I had been eating jello, it would have landed

Lorrie got paid. Money, diamonds, or round trip ticket to Paris.

Majestic? Is Morgan speaking from an oxygen tent at the Ronald Reagan Retirement Home?

Oh good God. When will the madness end? Just shoot me now. EWWWW.

That's what they think is majestic?
ARE THEY FUCKING BLIND????? Pike's Peak is majestic.
Goof fucking grief.

I don't think Grandpa Simpson deserves that kind of abuse. Two more plausible lookalike candidates for Thompson are:
1. The Crypt Keeper (pointed out by me in pic #4)
2. Dan Aykroyd's weird judge character in Nothing But Trouble, as pointed out by the crew at Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Nachos.

I do not understand people who think that this man is remotely attractive to anyone, let alone a sentient female. Ick, ick ick.

I don't understand this continuing belief that women vote with their hearts, not their brains, and are swayed by looks.

Where does Lorrie Morgan get off, saying what "women" want?
Posted by: Nora | June 25, 2007 at 05:59 PM
An old time bit of snark about the younger woman who married the old,rich man was that she "liked it soft" with two very different implications. Is this what Lorrie is trying to tell us?

Holy fucking hell. Other than that, I'm speechless.

To me, he looks like the old man, Kane, from the Poltergeist movies. Or a fatter version of Skeletor (Chertoff) without the beard.

He looks more like LBJ than JFK, that's for sure. But apparently both were very successful with the ladies.

How could any woman stand to gaze upon that puffed and flabbulant visage hovering above them as he pounds her with that age spotted giggle hose and those sagging onion bags he calls his nuts, good god can anyone tell me?

I can say, categorically, that I have never been that drunk.
And Capt. Guano -- loved your description, but must take issue with one point: far from pounding away, I suspect ol' Fred is more often faced with the regrettable situation of attempting to push a wagon uphill with a rope.

Spork had a link to a bit of David Lee Roth gossip, and, by misreading his post, I came to a creepy discovery.
Here's the comment.

I think he got his acting career break as a stand-in for Grandpa Al Lewis!

I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than cuddle up with Fred!

Uh, reference to a post above, "LBJ doesn't look like Fred Thompson, give me a break."
Re: Soft place... I have a different view on what's a "soft place to lay."
YUCK!

Holy crap, it does, well, smile. I think.
Yeah, you stoopid crackers - listen to gravy soaked homilies for four years while the Corporatists redistribute what's left of the wealth upward.

That is supposed to be a qualification for president? Hell we would do better to have an ordinary guy in office. No aspersions against ordinary guys whatsoever, but damn the field of candidates are really, really bad this time out. We should shelve these and start again, this time no billionaires or millionaires allowed. Everyone of them should be psychologically profiled before being allowed to address the american public.
