GOP — the gang that can’t even speak straight

Rudy Giuliani is out as Tuesday night’s keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention.

And, Der Gobernator won’t be speaking, either. Instead, Fred Thompson will be channeling him:

According to Fox News, Thompson will be speaking in the slot previously reserved for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA), who is no longer attending the convention. Schwarzenegger’s original speech has been “amended and edited in Fred Thompson’s voice.”

So, Fred Thompson is now Shirley MacLaine?
