WASHINGTON -- Former Sen. George Allen is bullish about former Republican Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee, the actor who hasn't even gotten into the 2008 presidential race yet.
Thompson has the right philosophy, is articulate, has a record and is "the best voice in America," Allen, a Virginia Republican, told a lecture series audience yesterday.
He likened Thompson's voice to that of a "modern-day Rex Allen," drawing a reference to a now-deceased cowboy actor.
The same Rex Allen who, according to unimpeachable sources, "died in 1999 in Tuscon, Arizona from injuries received when his caretaker accidentally ran over him in the driveway of his home."
I'm not sure which is worse: getting an endorsement from an unrepentant, hillbilly racist, or being likened to a candidate for a Darwin Award.
