Huckleberry Fred-- Has He Peaked? Already?


Seems like Fred "Huckleberry/Foghorn" Thompson has his work cut out for him with the very conservatives he thinks he's leading. Too bad he's such a work-avoider. Check out the columns (no link) in today's WaPo by George Will and Robert Novak (now I have to disinfect my keyboard). Will likens Thompson to New Coke, the highly hyped new taste that was an Edsel-like flop. Novak thinks Foghorn is not being handled well by his minions (including his wife/campaign manager Juggs, er, Jeri). It's all marketing and image, isn't it boys?!

This is coming days after a "Phony Fred" website, put up by a Willard "Flip" Romney supporter, labeled Huckleberry a "skirt chaser," Washington insider lobbyist, and church-avoider, among other friendly nomenclature. We're guessing Huckleberry has just peaked in the polls.

"We're guessing Huckleberry has just peaked in the polls."

Ironic since Fred's pole probably hasn't peaked since 1987. He looks as virile as Barbara Bush.

Okay Babs looks pretty virile. How about Jonah Goldberg?

I caught your comment over at Jon Swift.

el tiburon - Yeah, Babs is probably the dominant partner in that relationship. As for Pantload, his pole will never peak.
