What, he can't work without a script??
The English Leather-soaked horndog climbed out from his trophy wife's cleavage only to totally disappoint audience of voters.
When Fred Thompson made his debut on the presidential stage here this week, he left some Republicans thinking he needs more work before his nascent campaign matches the media hype it's gotten in advance.
The former Tennessee senator with the baritone drawl showed up Thursday in New Hampshire, the site of the first primary voting, and gave a speech that lasted only nine minutes, skipping over hot-button issues such as Iraq and immigration to invoke platitudes about freedom and strength.
He left more than a few Republicans disappointed.
"I plan on seeing a whole lot more of you," Thompson told about 200 New Hampshire Republicans who paid $50 each to hear him — and to benefit state Republican legislators.
He'd better, because many present came away decidedly under-whelmed.
"It was short," said Richard Heitmuller of Nashua. "He's got a nice voice. But there was nothing there. People want to get to know him. He hasn't been here, and he gives a nine-minute speech," he said dismissively. "And even so, my clothes reek of cigar smoke."

"But..didn't my 747 shoulders carry the day? I know I haven't fucked-up as many businesses as W did before he was elected, but Rebooblicans shouldn't hold that against me!"
Right Said Fred
Is Fred on the D.C. madam's client list, and what sex did he hire?
Later, Thompson admitted that he "didn't know the presiduncy required intelligence, just good looks and a strong voice."
