You can go to Fred ’08 and see the announcement video. Tomorrow we’ll have a minute of silence during which we’ll bask in the awesomeness.
(BTW, watching him on Leno right now)
UPDATE:
Hot Air has a clip of him making it official on Leno and should have more to follow. I think he did great on the appearance (and probably got a ton more viewers than the debate).
UPDATE 2:
Here’s the Leno appearance, but definitely go to Fred ’08 and watch his announcement too.

Segment 2:
BTW, I should mention there’s a cool t-shirt you could buy…
Happy Fredmas Everybody!!!
Eternal Pragmatist that I am, it’s always good to have a back-up plan, just in case.
Happy Fredmas to you too, G Fresh!
Awesome! I am so telling my mom right now.
My reaction to the Frednomenon continues to be a yawn mixed with bewilderment, but I do wish you a happy FredDay, Frank.
I just watched the video on Fred ’08…my head almost exploded from teh awesome.
Great, Fred!
Now, kick ass in some debates so the libtards will stop calling you a lazy coward!!!
And I looked as he opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became as black as sackcloth, and the moon became as blood.
And, the seas boiled, and the skies fell.
The Fred had come.
Now.. there is Fred Thompson!
Let the carnage commence.
I watched Fred on Leno. It was the first time that I allowed the Tonight Show to stay on the screen for longer than 2 minutes since Jay Leno took it down a few pegs.
And Fred’s appearance made all the years since Johnny left almost forgivable. He made his platform pretty clear & that’s something admirable, given Hollywad’s propensity to exalt no-nothing simians like Cloony, Moore, and anyone else who had a film & an agenda to spew about on the show.
That crack Leno made about Democrites being more afraid of debating on Fox news than confronting terrorists was good, though. Too bad it took so long after Carson to show some stones…
…all I can say is that I scared my kids half to death by blaring Handel’s “Messiah” repeatedly through the “Hallelujah Chorus”!!!!!!!!!!
Now there IS Fred Thompson!!
And all the other candidates didst’ soil themselves…except Hillary who’s head spun around on her shoulders several times and she puked up green pea soup and shrieked “I thought I told you that he was suppose to commit suicide in Ft. Marcy Park!”
Thanks for posting the second video. I hadn’t seen it yet. I just posted it on my blog, too.
Fred is a total breath of fresh air. He talks like a normal human. That alone has to be worth 5-10% in the polls.
Awesome! My favorite points were:
1) When he said how stupid and pointless the debates are. I of course have always thought that way.
2) When he flat out said what he thought on the war on terror and how America doesn’t have to apologize to anyone.
As the other losers… er candidates dance around questions and what they believe: behold Fred Thompson!
Algo2, you’re absolutely right. How refreshing it is to have a candidate who actually ANSWERS QUESTIONS!!! And he answers them truthfully, without being ashamed of his own positions. Is that really so hard? Why do other candidates have to pussyfoot around every simple little question, as if they’re terrified that they’ll anger some moron listening in his parent’s basement. Fred starts every answer with a solid yes or no, and then explains his position. When Jay Leno asked if he supported going into the Iraq war he said, “Yes,” and then explained why. Most other candidates, when asked if they support the war, would answer, “I prefer buttered popcorn to plain popcorn, because the butter gives it a more diverse flavor, and diversity is important in the workplace, which is why we need more illegals to cross our border, but we’ll make them legal so there’s no problem, because the latest polls show that Mexicans prefer buttered popcorn.” Then the media would interpret this to mean that Bush is using the military to deny innocent terrorists their right to fresh buttered popcorn.
Fred comes right out and asserts that America is the greatest country in the world. He refuses to appologize for it. He calls on the other free nations to help us out or stay out of the way. Liberals must be dropping enough bricks right now that we could build us a nice big, high, thick wall on our souther border with them, and have enough left over to throw at the hippies.
Yay Fred!!!
