FRED THOMPSON ANNOUNCES HE IS LEAVING THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO NOTICE
By R J Shulman
NASHVILLE, Tennessee – A week after Fred Thompson’s announcement that he was retiring from the Presidential race, little notice has been taken of his leaving the race. A new ABC/Newsweek poll showed that 56% hadn’t noticed any difference since Thompson left the race, 34% hadn’t noticed any difference since he had entered the race and 10% was undecided as to whether he had ever entered the race.

“I hope my entrance in the Presidential race was helpful to the Republican party,” Thompson said just before taking his afternoon nap, “but I just needed to spend more time with my family, my Law and Order family.” Thompson then gave his support to Ronald Reagan who even though dead, still leads all other Republican candidates.
