ALSO, IT’S IN ANACOSTIA: “FORMER Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is cashing in on next month’s inauguration. A source tells us the ex-Republican presidential candidate and part-time actor, who did 142 episodes of ‘Law & Order,’ is offering to rent his luxury one-bedroom condo in Washington, DC, for five days. The price: $30,000. ‘It has a balcony overlooking the inaugural parade route, the Navy Memorial and the US Capitol, and comes with a reserved parking space,’ said our insider.” It also comes with Fred Thompson, who will lecture you about living beyond your means by staying in his condo.

    For that price, Jeri better be part of the package.

    Sorry Fred, if I had $30K to blow like that then I’d rather spend the week at a Nevada Whorehouse. At least I’d be happy getting fucked.

  2. The idea of sleeping in Fred Thompson’s bed truly skeeves me out.

    Wonkette should do some more of those full-page ads and rent the place out, have a massive party. Piss in his plants, leave cigarette butts everywhere…

  4. You and your elitist Macintosh computers and your Success web pages. How’s the arugula up there, richie rich?

  5. Aha, one of the basic tenants of the Republican party!

  6. I bet the place is totally handicapped-accessable, with barca-loungers in every room.

  7. Doglessliberal says at 10:35 am, December 8th, 2008

    Do you get the truck, too? How about a walk-on role on Law & Order?

  8. Doglessliberal says at 10:36 am, December 8th, 2008

    WadISay: with built-in TV remotes and cupholders in the arms.

  9. Noodle Salad says at 10:37 am, December 8th, 2008

    For those who want to associate the stench of aqua velva and old cigars with Obama’s barry big day.

  10. Doglessliberal:

    Only if it’s Law and Order Criminal Intent and Vincent D’Onofrio is on the set. Hubba hubba.

  11. NoWireHangers says at 10:43 am, December 8th, 2008

    InsidiousTuna: We could afford 1 night, which is really all we’d need, if we charged $10 at the door and got at least 600 people…

  12. Doglessliberal says at 10:44 am, December 8th, 2008

    Terry: yeah, regular L&O is no good. I’d prefer SVU, myself.

  13. Now that’s pocket change I can believe in.

  14. Any pixxx of this 1-bed pied à terre? I curious what books and artwork there are in particular.

  15. Serolf Divad says at 10:54 am, December 8th, 2008

    For $30K I’d at the very least expect a walk-on role in Fred’s next Youtube video… maybe as the bartender who serves him the Budweiser he sips just before warning us of the impending socialist takeover of all of America’s most cherished institutions (like Baskin Robbins, for instance).

  16. Let’s pool our money, rent it, and sell hookers to those existing the current administration. Then, on the last day, open the doors to the Anacostia neighboorhood for free booze (and furniture).

  17. Freddy needs the cash, he probably still has to pay off the campaign debts for that one ad he ran in Iowa before he got tired and pulled out. I bet he’s really happy he quit Law & Order to run for President now. For an extra five grand he’ll cook you eggs benedict.

    Wait, doesn’t just setting foot in Anacostia get you thrown out of the party?

  19. gurukalehuru says at 11:05 am, December 8th, 2008

    Why are rich people so greedy?
    Why are greedy people so rich?
    One of those questions answers the other
    but I’m not really sure which

  20. Doglessliberal says at 11:06 am, December 8th, 2008

    Miller: For an extra $10K he’ll do it wearing an Obama-Biden t-shirt, and throw in a Mimosa or Bloody Mary.

  21. Heywood Floyd says at 11:23 am, December 8th, 2008

    “It has a balcony overlooking the inaugural parade route, the Navy Memorial and the US Capitol, and comes with a reserved parking space,” said our insider, Ned Phompson.”

  22. From the same state that brought you Bill Frist, Marsha Blackburn, and the debacle that was the 2008 University of Tennessee Volunteer football team.

  23. V572625694 says at 11:53 am, December 8th, 2008

    Heywood Floyd: Yeah, this kind of hard-hitting classified advertising journalism requires special connections with the elite.

  24. Fly-over Correspondent says at 12:01 pm, December 8th, 2008

    Heywood Floyd: Does that mean you’d have a clear shot from the balcony? I mean, that and a place to park the get-away car, maybe he does have something worth the money!

  25. Doglessliberal:

    Oooh, true. Christopher Meloni is yummy, too.
