Former Rethuglican Presidential hopeful Fred "Sleepy" Thompson announced his retirement from politics today, surprising many who thought Sleepy had retired some years ago. Nonetheless, Sleepy will return to his "acting" career, where he always played himself holding different jobs.
His campaign for President was seen at first as the salvation for the Rethuglican Party, but quickly deteriorated when Sleepy proved to be a less than energetic campaigner. He also put his audiences to sleep, which is not smart politically. He will be missed by Democrats everywhere.
