Fred Thompson is off to a sluggish start. Perhaps he's being overly managed - with too many advisers giving too many prescriptions.
It's time to restore the balance of Fred's mind, body, and spirit ... to right the flow of Fred's chi... It's all about good energy... Watch and learn ...
Mo Rocca has appeared on a bunch of shows, including 'The Daily Show,' 'I Love the 80s,'...

1. Aw Mo,
I don't know how many times you can patch a flat tire.
Fred followed, with brief interruption, in the entrails of Adam Schiff as Law & Order's witty one line enjoinder to his maverick Assistant D.A.'s.
Pump him full of all the health supplements you want, but, like an 80's Dodge K, I wouldn't take him cross country.
Personally, I thought that experience in the hot tub with you and Ann Coulter might have invigorated him, but some people are just in it for the soap.

2. Where is everybody?
Has everyone turned shy all of a sudden?
As for Thompson, I think he should try hot bubble baths. (Or am I just having a flashback from Mo's trip to Berlin?)
The baths will help relieve stress and help Thompson stay focused on his Presidential mission.
It really helps to use an aromatherapy soap with a scent like lavender and Dawn dish liquid, so that the bubbles will last.

Too funny! Your comment came in while I was typing mine. So nice to see that we're on the same page, it must be the "Mo thing"! (I mean his MOjo, get your mind out of the gutter.)

For Fred's case of lethargy I perscribe a stick of dynamite up his
ass. That should do it!!!!

5. Dynamite might work but...
I'm thinking more along the lines of some kind of shock collar.
His campaign advisors can buzz him whenever he starts losing energy or focus during a debate, speech, or interview.
Let's zap our way towards a better America!

FINN, great idea. It is the gift that keeps giving. That is if, you want
him to stay in the race. As for me, his ear stays the rest of him
has to go. What's the point?

7. Maybe Fred should lay off Mommy's Little Helpers.

8. All that new age nonsense isn't going to help Fred. However, his zombie-like presence during debates is harming him, not to mention he's got the personality of somebody with a lobotomy.
No, Fred needs to get hip with the young crowd. Seriously, what facebook loving, Xbox 360 playing, beer guzzling 18 year old college student is going to be impressed with the car wreck that is Freddy? He needs to start catering to the youth of today by getting in touch with his inner… 45 year old.
I don’t know, when you’ve been on this earth since the Jurassic period and you still net a hot intellectual trophy wife, you’re just a rarity in and of yourself.

11. wtf what is the mechanism that causes the negative ions to make people feel better ?

12. Aw Mo,
Okay,
Full Disclosure: Dynamite doesn't work. Don't try this at home kids.
Red Bull doesn't work either. They might as well package a drink for people over sixty called "Hearty Attack."
Their best bet is to pull a "Spocks Brain" episode in American History. Elect a weak puppet president, Romney will do, and then have Thompson controll him from an undisclosed location.
What? This has been done before. Cheney/Bush...
Oops. Nevermind.

I AM HERE! I AM NOT SHY!
I have been stuck at work for the last 36 hours since a violent windstorm pulled down trees and powerlines blocking access and not allowing the night crew to relieve daytime! (oh-and emergency generator only power so no computers) Thank goodness I had my gym bag in my car but I am tired. I just needed a Pick-Mo-up before I go to bed!

14. My dearest Mo,
I used to wear yellowish-orange safety specs when I worked with glass (a fun hobby). I always thought it was the thrill of creating with dangerously hot viscous materials that made me want to run for office.
I have switched to didymium glasses, they are darker and have a bluish-green tint to them. Perhaps I will have the desire to become a roadie for Yanni.
One can only hope...
Andrea at 5:58PM on Oct 19th 2007
15. "Pick-Mo-Up"? AWESOME, Andrea. That's a perfect name for some sort of bon mot I send out on cell phones on a daily basis. Ka-ching!!!
