Who would McCain pick for the Supreme Court? Why, Fred Thompson, of course.

This is an oldie (ahem), but a goodie. And major apologies for the link to WorldNutDaily. It was either them or FOXNews, and I went for the all-out insane source.

In addition to the film, McCain discussed (on The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno) several more serious items in the news, including the possible replacements for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who recently announced her retirement.

"I think Fred would be my candidate," McCain said, referring to the former Tennessee senator who was chosen by President Bush to help sift through candidates. "If I had his voice, I'd be president of the United States."

McCain also implied Bush might indeed select Thompson, in the same way the vice president was picked as a running mate in 2000.

From, ugh, http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45342 , posted July 18 2005.

Now, I want everyone here to sit back from all the carping going on at the moment and just imagine Fred Thompson sitting on the Supreme Court. Go on, do it.

I think you've reached the same conclusion I have: this guy is absolutely insane.

3. Fred would permanently recuse himself

Citing that he has a conflict of interest between doing his job and spending time with his trophy wife.
