Insert that ominous “Law & Order” “Chung-Chung” tone here
Looks like Fred Thompson left “Law & Order” for no good reason, after all: He has dropped out of the Presidential race.
Thompson, apparently mistaken for the lovably gruff D.A. he played on “L&O,” was called upon by many to join the race nearly 10 months ago. He was seen by more than a few people as the potential savior for a Republican Party beset with a fairly lackluster group of candidates, but took his sweet time to enter the race, not announcing his candidacy until September, after his popularity in polls had already crested. Thompson announced his candidacy on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” but his heart didn’t really seem to be in it – I think he actually put himself to sleep with the somnolent responses he gave to Jay’s softball questions.
So make room for the Ron Paul juggernaut that’ll no doubt grab for Thompson’s votes.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
