Fred Thompson in 2008

It's my sneaking suspicion that Fred Thompson is going to be the man the GOP runs for president in 2008, as I've said before. Here's just a little background on Fred's earlier days in politics. It seems Fred was on the Senate Watergate committee leaking news directly to Nixon in the White House of what the committee knew and planned. He gave Tricky Dick I a heads up that the committee knew about Nixon's secret tapes, giving The Little Dick a chance to prepare as best he could for a public revelation.

Thompson has no problem with us knowing that he was a White House mole. In fact, he's the one who told us so in a book he wrote some thirty years ago. Now, he says, he's glad that this has come to light again, because it will revive book sales.

....hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
