13. And here's the repuke hypocrisy of the whole thing....
McCone of Silence could run with the TV star, and STILL run ads calling Obama a "celebrity".

6. The sheer excitement would be overwhelming.
Between McCain's droning and Thompson's droning, they'll put 80% of eligible Republican voters to sleep.

Bring that ticket.

44. Agreed.
The Odd Couple is one of my very favorite movies ever. In fact, I think I'll watch it this weekend, it's been awhile.

But you have to admit, the resemblance between the two pairs is uncanny. Perhaps a little scary.

32. Fred never got traction in the Republican primaries.
He had a few good moments, but only when he was awake.

For those worried about McCain's age and health, Fred is hardly reassuring.
