Sickly Looking Fred Thompson Needs Some Hair
The salvation for the GOP in 2008 is supposed to be Fred Thompson. But have you looked at him? He doesn’t look healthy. The face is slightly emaciated. But the smile is good, and the skin tone seems well (could be the lighting). What it is is the lack of hair. He looks like he just got out of chemo. From the picture at Hot Air sickly Fred looks ready to go to the hospice for his last few days. The few whips on the top of his head scream, “I’m dying!” He has admitted he fought off a bout of cancer. Someone call one of Fred’s Hollywood friends to get him a hair piece so he doesn’t remind voters he did have cancer. If he goes up against Obama or Edwards he’ll look like one of the living dead. He’ll emphasis the “old” in Grand Old party.
Is Thompson not telling us something?
One of the negatives with Sen. John McCain is his age. There will be elderly voters who will oppose him because of his age. They won’t think he’ll have the strength to handle the office. A sickly-looking Thompson won’t inspire confidence no matter all the good things he says.

UPDATE: Thompson looked better at this speech last weekend in California, but even Ryan Sagar wrote,
While Ronald Reagan was also famously laid back, he didn’t usually look like he was about to fall asleep at the podium. This is a major stylistic tick he’ll have to fix if he’s really going to run.
And Hillary without makeup is…..

Everyone looks like crap now-an-agin.
Fred is fine.
So he’s a bit of a dinosaur, speed wise. So what? That’s his style. Measure twice, cut once.
And so he has no hair. BFD. Lots of folks don’t…. or… ahem… won’t. If hair is a measure of a man then Michael Jordon is a wuss.
You want pretty? Go for The Breck Girl. I’ll take the wisdom of an old hairless dinosaur over camera-ready every time.
