It is uncertain about whether NBC’s “Law & Order” will be renewed. But Sam Waterston told CNN that he expects co-star Fred Thompson to run for president. Wolf Blitzer asked Waterston about the possibility of Thompson’s throwing his hat into the presidential ring.

“I think that is going to happen,” Waterston said Tuesday.

Waterston described the actors’ relationship as “friendly, friendly.”

Brody met Fred Thompson’s wife and liked her and thinks she will be an asset to his campaign:

I met her Saturday night at the White House Correspondents dinner. I was struck by her presence and self assurance. She comes across as not only very nice but as a player in this 2008 presidential race. And she tells me she reads The Brody File! That confirms her intellect.

I wonder if she is smart enough to have deliberately neutralized one of her husband’s critics by telling him that she reads his column? blog? (what the heck is it).
