Fred Thompson has yet to announce he is running for president, but he sure acts like he is. He visited a local gun shop in New Hampshire and talked with gun purchasers for a while before speeding off in a caravan on SUVs.
Later, in New Hampshire, the former “Law & Order” television star told an audience of Republican activists, “I don’t have any big announcements here tonight.”
“Aaaawwww,” came the response.
“I plan on seeing a whole lot more of you,” Thompson thundered. “How about that?”
A reporter asked Thompson how he can run as an outsider when he has been an insider for so long:
“I have never used the word ‘outsider,’ ” Thompson scolded his questioner. “It’s a delineation that doesn’t mean anything. You don’t have to be from Alaska or Hawaii to see faults with your government. I’ve been talking about things wrong with Washington when I was a part of it, before I was a part of it and since I was a part of it.”
