Funny when you can’t really tell a gaffe from a tongue-in-cheek answer. Fred Thompson was asked by the AP what he considered his prized possession. The answer: “Trophy wife.”

And stock in Pfizer, which owns Viagra, surges in after hours trading!
Here are a few of the other favorite things of our Republican hopefuls:
REPUBLICANS:
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani: “My grandfather’s pocket watch.”
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: “Probably my Tobias bass guitar or maybe, I’ve got a handmade musket rifle that was made by a guy in Eureka Springs, Ark. I’ve hunted turkey with it. It’s really an amazing firearm. Probably one of those two as far as just real heirlooms.”
Arizona Sen. John McCain: “I have a baseball signed by Ted Williams, my childhood hero, a Marine pilot as well.”
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney: 1962 Rambler American, which his sons bought for him. “The last year that my dad was president of American Motors and made Ramblers was 1962, so it’s a connection with my dad and that era.”
Here’s your man Mitt’s favorite car:
Brings to mind that “boxy but good” joke from the movie Crazy People.
Or maybe that ought to be the campaign’s new slogan: “Drive back to simpler times before many inferior American brands were out of business. Vote Mitt Romney.”
But ultimately, you just need to imagine a dog in a carrier strapped to the top of the thing to complete the picture.
Something to say?
