Interesting thing I read...

Fast forward to 2007. So far, ten Republicans have announced their campaigns for the party’s presidential nomination, and the public is vetting them hard. But Fred Thompson knows better. He has learned from Dick Cheney. Instead of campaigning for president, he has been campaigning to raise millions of dollars (say, Fred, is there going to be a public report? Donors? Amounts?) for the defense of I. Lewis Libby, Cheney’s closest confidant in the government who is currently a convicted felon on his way to federal prison.
