Saturday Night Live made fun of Fred Thompson this weekend. Highlights, or lowlights, depending on your perspective:

“Since I entered, my numbers have been going down faster than Larry Craig in a Minneapolis washroom.” “How badly do I want to be your president? On a scale of one to ten, I’m about a six.” “Running for president is hard work. I may not be up for it. Also, I don’t particularly like talking to people.” “I’m not saying I don’t want to be your president, because I kinda do. A little bit.”

Referring to Fred Armisen appearing late in the sketch as Sam Waterston, the vile folks at the Huffington Post write, “I think I would have rather seen Kirsten Wiig or Amy Poehler crawling all over him as the nubile Jeri.” If anybody had said that about Michelle Obama or Elizabeth Edwards, people would rightfully be screaming sexism. Since she’s a Republican, she’s fair game.
