The sarcasm is dripping from the title of this post. Fred Thompson who is "famous" for putting the Nixon White House's feet to the fire during Watergate was actually a spy for the White House. Nixon viewed him as not too bright. It is really neat when you get a listening device and play it for a Republican.
Thompson is trying to kindle his good-ole boy image (wasn't that the image that Bush had? Why would anyone want to walk in Bush's shoes?). Unfortunately, the fact that Fred Thompson was a high priced Lobbyist seems to be dulling that image somewhat. A high priced lobbyist for the pro-choice group National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association. Man, I find it hard to believe that this will play well with the Conservative base.
Update: It appears that Fred Thompson now has no memory of being a paid lobbyist for a family planning organization. Sounds like the Watergate cop out - "Not to the best of my recollection."
