From Mark Russell: "Sure it isn't fair, but there is no stopping the inevitable laid back Fred Thompson jokes: What can we look for in the Oval Office under President Fred Thompson? A La-Z-Boy recliner."

"How would Fred Thompson restore the legacy of Ronald Reagan in the White House? With the cabinet meeting nap."

"Would a Thompson White House pet be a dog or a cat? Maybe a turtle named "Speedy."

"What would be the theme of Fred Thompson's Inaugural Address? "Ask not what you can do today, but what you can put off until tomorrow."
