Nixon expressed concern that Thompson was not "very smart."I knew that he was lazy and had a reputation for not doing much as a Senator, but while I never liked Nixon, I certainly wouldn't question his judgment on someone's Intelligence.
"Not extremely so," Buzhardt agreed.
"But he's friendly," Nixon said.
"But he's friendly," Buzhardt agreed. "We are hoping, though, to work with Thompson and prepare him, if Dean does appear next week, to do a very thorough cross-examination."
Five days later, Buzhardt reported to Nixon that he had primed Thompson for the Dean cross-examination.
"I found Thompson most cooperative, feeling more Republican every day," Buzhardt said. "Uh, perfectly prepared to assist in really doing a cross-examination."
Later in the same conversation, Buzhardt said Thompson was "willing to go, you know, pretty much the distance now. And he said he realized his responsibility was going to have be as a Republican increasingly."
So let's see. The Republican field for the nomination for President at the monent consists of the dumb crook, Giuliani who will sooner or later self-destruct because he can't control his own statements; Romney, the good-looking wealthy guy who will take any opinion he thinks enough voters will buy to vote for him; the over-the-hill McCain who has the most sense of the bunch and no real chance of winning (probably because he DOES make so much good sense), and the lazy dumb actor who is offering himself as Reagan-lite.
My money is on Fred. He wants to replace a lazy dumb oilman and son of a President. I wonder who he will choose as his own Cheney?

I'd say he will make it for no other reason than for the fact that he isn't so bright. He's not bright but he's a decent actor with a likable face. In other words, a shoe in for people with a taste for power behind the scene
