Fred Thompson, America’s Serial Killer Candidate

Props to the conniving sleuths over at Slate’s Trailhead for discovering this alarming comparison between Javier Bardem (right), here portraying a demented psychopath in the Coen Brothers’ excellent No Country For Old Men, and a younger Fred Thompson, here futuristically portraying a dumbass. Oh, wait a sec — No Country For Old Men? This entire movie is an allegory about the middling Thompson campaign! So then Tommy Lee Jones’ sheriff character is really… Walnuts?? [Trailhead]
