Fred's Running!

Or at least the closest confirmation I've yet heard:

FRED THOMPSON IS RUNNING!:

While honing my MSM conventional-wisdom talking points at the unholy White House correspondentss dinner last night, I spotted the head of the six-foot-four would-be GOP candidate looming over the crowd and just for kicks I accosted him:

"Senator, I have three words for you," I said. "Tallest man wins."*

"I hope so!" he replied.

I declare it a confirmation.
