1. Good. Since talk radio assholes like Laura Ingraham have established that entertainers should

"shut the fuck up" about their little political opinions, guess that means he can shut his yapper now.

[BzaDem]

2. Wow that is very interestin..........zzzzzzzzz

[Warren DeMontague]

4. Ew! Is that drool?

Yuk!

[bridgit]

3. He'd be great for the part where crotchety ole Harry gets covered by the ash of Mt Saint Helens

[zbdent]

15. don't worry, sir, we don't need a stunt man ...

[Wetzelbill]

5. that's a good place for Fred

He's been in some good projects, I'd rather see him in a film I like than say in office somewhere, undermining everything I believe in.

6. heh

Fred the Dead

better back to the boob tube than back to the Senate.

[Tennessee Gal]

7. That is right where he belongs.

He is a much better actor than politician.

In fact, he appears to be too lazy for anything else.

[WCGreen]

8. That's not saying much...

He is a presence that can memorize lines...

that hardly makes him an "actor"...

9. The republic party,

thought fred was the reincarnation of ronnie raygun!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

10. Hope he gets the lead in that Foghorn Leghorn biopic

[No Elephants]

11. When did he stop acting?

[Sherman A1]

13. Precisely

He never quit acting, just moved from one role to another. Something akin to St. Ronnie..... Who I believe could have done very good in the role of "The Nation's Grandfather" if it had been one we could have elected him to hold. Telling soft stories and being sorta sappy... Something in which he was great.

12. What? The cartoon voice of Foghorn Leghorn?

[mmonk]

14. I thought that was what he was doing anyway.
