Oh good God.
UCLA lawprof Eugene Volokh thinks that if former Sen. Fred Thompson runs for President, all Law and Order episodes in which he appears will have to be yanked from TV, at least on broadcast stations. I know people (and they know who they are), who will switch their party registration just to vote agains the guy if it means that L&O may have to be curtailed to perhaps 10 episodes a day.
Losing a few epidodes of the most ubiquitous TV show in the country isn't the only reason to vote against Fred Thompson. He's a poseur redneck and a Nixon flunkie with a paper-thin record in the Senate. But we'll save that argument for another day.
I am already a member of said party and I think I'd vote against him if it meant that quality episodes of Law and Order would be taken off the air until the end of the primary.
