I'm no Thompson fan, but that's just mud-slinging. That's the way that the world works. If your Dad is in politics, you're going to have a lot of doors open up.

I didn't see any mudslinging.

If you are a conservative, you aren't real fond of the lobbiest industry, yet few American's are aware of this side of Fred Thompson.

What you call mudslinging I call credible reporting.
