When asked which is harder, playing the president or being the president, politician/lobbyist/actor and incredibly well informed and enthused candidate Fred Thompson replied, “Neither of ‘em are that hard.” Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi has more:

It was bad enough when the GOP field was led by a grinning Mormon corporatist and a fascist ex-mayor itching to take his prostate pain out on the world, but Thompson is the worst yet — a human snooze button, campaigning for the head-in-the-sand vote by asking Americans not to think but to change the channel.”

What Thompson inspires is something much more appropriate for Americans of the TV age: He gets audiences purring in a cozy stupor. Their eyes glaze over and they end up looking like a bunch of flies happily lapping up their own puke.”
