Monica Hesse, a Washington Post writer whose name presumably sounds intelligent, has written a piece designed to paint Fred Thompson as a poor choice for US President because she thinks his first name sounds funny. Or stupid. Or not-sexy. If that is all they have on Fred Thompson, they might as well give up now.

Like Barack doesn't sound odd to some ears. It is lightning to the semitic listener, apricot brandy to the Hungarian. A Barack appears in the Bible as a military leader. Wolf Blitzer uses Barak as a less German sounding pseudonym. Blitzkrieg anyone? Do you suppose Obama's goofy parents named him for this Australian cat?

Fred Thompson's Secret Weapon
Fred & Jeri Thompson
It is beginning to appear that Fred Thompson is quite a hit with the ladies. The girls I know like him too. Hillary Rodham Clinton (Mrs. Bill, as she prefers to be called) isn't going to win the female vote by default, as she had hoped. Fred has the Secret Weapon!
---
Some folks are calling this article, Old girlfriends cast their vote for Thompson, in the Sunday UK Times 'British humor'. I don't think so, nor is it a 'puff piece', as Spree thoughtfully explains at Wake up America. Spree's point: women appreciate chivalry.
---
Red State's Pejman Yousefzadeh calls the endorsements from Fred's former wives and girlfriends: "An Endorsement Of The First Rank." Pejman adds: "if I were running the Thompson campaign, I would get the ladies mentioned in this story to do a commercial together for Thompson."
---
Captain Ed says of the g/f endorsements: "If a man can move through the dating scene in DC and Hollywood without picking up any baggage at all, he's probably got the chops for high-stakes diplomacy, too. At the very least, it shows something about his character that will reinforce his image as a straight-shooting good guy."
---
The Instapundit weighs in with: Forget The Old Boys Network, Fred Thompson mobilizes the old girlfriends network.
---
Aside: Read about Fred the blogger in the Noisy Room.

Comment: "There'll be resistance. Althouse, in a video with Annie Gottlieb, tried to get the word going that Fred is 'ugly'." (DadGum)
My Reply: Izzatso? Look who is talking.

Thompson Announcement Set For Nashville
Go Big Fred
A source close to the campaign planning tells WSMV that that Thompson planned to announce his candidacy on the steps of the historic Fall School Building Tuesday, but Thompson campaign officials deny that Tuesday's announcement is an official run for the White House.I'm thinking the Fourth of July, but I don't know why. I will support Fred, as I have since I discovered how perfect he is for the job. See the video. Check in with the Freepers. Look at these stunning photos of Fred's lovely wife, Jeri Kehn Thompson. She looks better than Jackie Kennedy did when she was in the White House getting the Bill Clinton infidelity treatment from JFK. I know, Monica Lewinski was no Marilyn Monroe, but then Bill was no JFK, either.
---
More: FredHead JM24 at Joe's Crabby Shack says: "This is Nebraska. Go! Big! Fred! just rolls off the tongue." I like the sound of it myself. I like it so much I made this little banner for Nebraska Fred Supporters. It is, like everything else in the Plains Feeder, free for anyone to use.

Fred Thompson on Leno tonight: an air of anticipation
Asked by Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" if he'd like the nation's top job, the former Tennessee senator said, "I've never craved the job of president, but I want to do some things that only a president can do.Video at Real Clear Politics: Fred explains his political 'coyness' to Jay.Previously: NBC First Read's Joel Seidman:
"So," Thompson added, "the answer is yes."
There is an air of anticipation that GOP presidential contender-in-waiting Fred Thompson will have something substantive to say tonight about his still-to-be-announced run for the White House when he appears on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.I'll be watching. Maybe Jeri Thompson will show up. Maybe Fred will announce his election plans. Arnold did.
---
Fred is doing well in the polls, despite not having officially announced his candidacy. The more folks see of Fred Thompson, the more they like the idea of having him in the White House. Learn more about Fred at the Fredipedia. Check out his official site, "I'm with Fred".

Draft Fred Thompson
Plains Feeder - Draft Fred
Read more about Fred and his lovely wife, Jeri (Kehn) at the newly updated Fredipedia. The more you learn, the more you will like the idea of sending Fred and Jeri Thompson to the White House. You can ask Fred to run here.

Everything Fred Thompson: the Fredipedia
Updated June 1, 2007: The old feeder has decided to endorse Fred Thompson as the Republican Party nomination for US President in 2008. Please visit some of these web sites and blogs. Get to know Fred. Then let Fred know you want him to throw his hat in the ring. Wouldn't you really rather see Fred and Jeri in the White House?
---
The old feeder is getting to the point where he might consider cutting a check to help Fred Thompson's unannounced campaign for the Republican Party's 2008 presidential nomination. You should know that the last time this tightwad gave any money to a political campaign was a donation to Ronald Reagan sometime after he narrowly lost the Republican nomination to Ford in 1976. I figured Jimmy Carter was making my money worthless anyhow, so why not give it away?
I have taken the liberty of copying in full this nifty list of sources for information on Fred Thompson and added some other stuff. You can find the Original, Definitive Fredipedia by Sturm Ruger, along with some well reasoned discussions at DraftFredThompson.com. It is a big improvement over the Fred & Jeri links Plains Feeder posted earlier.

Google: Fred Thompson's Wife is not Debra LaFave
As I mentioned in the previous post, the Plains Feeder has been getting an increasing number of hits from cats doing Google searches for Fred Thompson and his lovely wife, Jeri Kehn Thompson. This is all well and good, but...
Today, the Google Image searches for "Jeri Kehn" have produced results linking to one of the old feeder's posts about Debra LaFave, the naughty schoolteacher. This seems odd, since PF has published a nice picture of Fred and Jeri.
Could some twisted liberal geek that works for Googliath have tweaked the algorithm for this particular search? Official Google policy to obfuscate searches for Fred Thompson? Daily Kos readers skewing the results deliberately? Michelle Malkin suspects Google has a bias and ain't afraid to apply it to their search engines. World Net Daily and others agree.
---
For some very nice pictures of Jeri with a smiling Fred Thompson, see this post by Riley at Virginia Virtucon, reporting that Robert Novak mentioned in his column that Jeri is supportive of a Thompson candidacy.
---
Any guesses when Fred will announce? The Chuck Hagel announcement pool was a bust.

Riehl World View also noted a lack of info, "I don't know enough about his back story, but based upon what I do know, he's someone I could support. He's also someone I think would play very well to the electorate, potentially the closest thing to a Reagan I've seen around lately." This really got me interested. I did a little checking around the internets and thought I'd share the resources I used:
The Hill: Another Hollywood star steps forward for GOP By Alexander Bolton, March 09, 2007
Fox News: TV Star, Former Senator Fred Thompson Considers '08 Presidential Bid, March 11, 2007
A selection of Draft Fred sites:
Some folks aren't as enthusiastic, for example Why Fred Thompson Won’t be Elected President Posted by Bruce Barry, who calls his moves so far a "conservative panderfest", and AP's Hope Yen, Not enough "star" power in the GOP presidential field. (Hope, Yen, which is it?)
Below the Beltway has interesting comments on Fred for President.
The Krusty Konservative thinks Fred "looks the part" of President. I guess that is half the battle, these days.
Captain Ed notes Fred's efforts to distance himself from his former association with John McCain and the disastrous McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform fiasco. More at Wizbang Politics.
A commenter at Sister Toldjah says, "I just get all tingly at the prospect of Fred Thompson entering the 2008 race."
Fred versus moonbat: World Net Daily preserves an exciting exchange between Fred Thompson and Mike Farrell, aka B.J. Hunnicutt on NBC's "Meet the Press" program, March 2, 2003.

In June 2002, Fred married Jeri Kehn, the lovely lady in the picture. Read more about Jeri Thompson at blond sagacity's post For the Record: Fred Thompson's Wife.

Update: Yorktown Patriot - John Fund: Fred Thompson for President?. A meaty article that also mentions another possible criticism of Fred: "failing to back some comprehensive tort-reform bills because of his background as a trial lawyer." Just ask John Edwards how much this kind of criticism stings.
More Support for Fred from Doug Hagin at New Media Journal, with more links.
The sarcastic self-styled libertarians at Liberating Our Heritage try to pick on his wife, Jeri, by describing her as 'surgically altered'. There you will also find links to some other moonbat criticisms of her, like someone at Wonkette calling her a 'trophy wife'. They got nothin'.

Conservative Dad at Red State Kids notes that: "Fred Thompson is 6' 6" or 5 inches taller than Reagan. And a full 11 inches taller than McCain and 12 inches taller than Hillary Clinton." Not only is Fred's ideological stance the right one, but he is a man of stature as well. Our enemies will quake in their boots at the sight of this righteous Mensch. I can't see them fearing Hillary Clinton.
