Fred Thompson says get away from me i dont like fried snickers bars

Check this-the-hell-out: AP.

"Don't confuse the lawyer with the client." I'm sorry, but what? Virtuous, angelic Fred Thompson lobbies on behalf of a out-of-luck abortion-rights group. Does Mister Thompson consider his efforts to be on par with public defenders and pro bono publico attorneys? Surely no other lobbyist would have done the job in Thompson's stead. Washington is going through a lobbyist shortage, after all.

How about this, Fred Thompson: don't confuse the prostitute with the drunk guy nailing her in the backseat of his Cadillac.

"It has nothing to do with one's political views," Thompson said of his work for the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association, "Lawyering is a profession and it's also a business."

So your conviction stop when you punch the time clock? I call shenanigans.

Also, what's up with the guy being so hesitant to rub elbows with potential supporters at the Iowa State Fair? He's six months (at least) behind the rest of the Republican field at this point. Move it, Fred! Time is running short.
