UPDATE:

One day, won't we all have criminal backgrounds? I mean, seriously, aren't we all just one slip of the tongue away from going to Gitmo right now?

One of Fred Thompson's 4 (count them, four!!!) campaign managers has a criminal background of drug trafficking and conspiracy that dates back almost 30 years ago. Maybe he's turned over a new leaf.

Or maybe Thompson really isn't the most conservative candidate after all. Condoning drug possession and distribution is only for Liberals right?

Nevertheless, this just shows Thompson's laziness and lackadaisical attitude towards just about everything, doesn't it?

"There's not a campaign in the world that has the ability to research every one of its supporters going back more than 20 years," Harris (Thompson's communications director) said.

The Tennessee stud: U.S. presidential candidate Fred Thompson's womanising ways | the Daily Mail

His second wife, Jeri, is a blonde 24 years his junior. They wed in 2002 after Thompson was advised that if he wanted to become President he needed to quell a reputation as a womaniser that earned him the nickname the Tennessee Stud.

Michael Moore and wannabe president Fred "Flintstone" Thompson spar

My money is on Mike Moore, simply because he has a camera. He can dog Thompson like he did Roger Smith from his first film, Roger and Me, about his quest to get an interview with General Motor's CEO about closing down plants in Moore's home state, Michigan (Flint, to be specific).

While I think Moore is "out there," I do think he provokes people in a humorous way. And I'd pay money to see him do it again to the politicos and wannabes.
