ABC News:
Fred Thompson has made much of his role 30 years ago as a young Senate lawyer helping to lead the investigation of the Watergate scandal and President Richard Nixon.
But a much different, less valiant picture of Thompson emerges from listening to the White House audiotapes made at the time, as President Nixon plotted strategy with his aides in the Oval Office.

A Cheney wannabe?
Republicans apparently have a penchant for picking dumb presidents. They like their presidents dumb.
Perhaps that sh*t head of a president may save US now. If Nixon thought he was stupid- he must be really stupid !!! I've seen he doesn't seem to be any smarter now either.
NIXON MISJUDGED FRED THOMPSON...
Fred is friendly as hell but dumb....
Hey, Pajeff3...
Had a great list of GOP sexual offenders (either charged or convicted) posted in late '06, but the word count ran over 3,500.
You friggin' moron... what do your sweaty little sideline dances have to do with the subject of this thread?
What everyone needs to know about pajeffie:
BANNED from a sports blog for calling an athlete a "COMMUNIST"
WHICH ATHLETE???...
Pajeffie is friendly but dumb as hell too. Nobody's a communist these days. He should've called the athlete a "terrorist."
Thompson = ACTS like Bush, snarls like Cheney and LIES like Rove
You got that RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dumb as a post. Folksy quotes. Eminently unqualified to hold office. Bad actor. Now if you could just get him to crap his pants and forget his name you would have a chip off the Ole' Gipper.
Republicans have always put the greatest power in the least qualified why should they stop now. He has a few more marbles to play with than Dubya but who knows how long he will be able hold on to them.
Just what this country needs. Another bumpkin with the mental acumen of a dairy cow. Got milk.
That is totally unfair likening Thompson to a cow. What did cows ever do to you?
THOMPSON IS EVEN DUMBER THAN BUSH...
And THAT, my friends, is a real stretch....
You mean he can't even read phonetic flash cards? Holy shit!
The point is that we already know Thomson is out of his element when he doesn't have a script to read. You won't be seeing him in many debates. He is weak and wobbly and weird.
He bores the audiences so much that they fall asleep. Almost any Republican bores me. The tapes tell you not only what Trick Dick and his pals thought of Thompson, but also Thompson's lack of professional ethics and morals. Little did he know that they were laughing at him, not with him. He kissed their asses and they just laughed. Too bad for them that they were next in Watergate.
John Dean made a better witness than they thought, and Nixon's tapes did him in.
BUT HEY, THOMPSON DIDN'T THROW UP ALL OVER CHRIS MATTHEWS...
So he's ahead of the game. I'd say he won the debate on that count alone....
racists and fun bags and fairies....OH MY!

It is live and let live, that is what I think. Republicans including Fred Thompson are the ones with double standards. They will take advise from one (she happens to be a smart lady) but fails to give them the same benifits as he would get!
It's not "live and let live". This is not about Nixon calling him dumb, it's about Nixon admitting that the lead Republican investigator was working with them. THis is, of course, not new; Thompson admitted it in a book years ago, but do we really want another president who is willing to party before nation?
You libs never believed anything Nixon ever said until now. Stunning.
Course we do, we have the tapes.
He right you know.
When Nixon said " I'm not a crook " I doubt anyone bought it.
Kind of like when lauratab said " Nobody grieves more for the fallen troops than the president".
Remarking on th fact that Nixon said it isn't the same as believing it---although I do have to agree that DeadFred is stupid.
He used to be my Senator, and he was a do-nothing joke.
RE: keelerbee --> You libs never believed anything Nixon ever said until now. Stunning.
Spot on keelerbee...they don't care who says what, as long as it fits the message of the day. Yea, Nixon was a lying scumbag, everything that came out of his mouth was a lie...well, except THIS ONE THING about Fred Thompson. Priceless.

Surprisingly, you are correct!
( . )
GAWD! "Stunning" is when somebody hits you over the head with a hammer. Trivial and derivative is dittoheads parroting the Limbaugh-speak.
It is getting easier to understand where the hyperbole-heads are coming from: the same nonexistant Republikker "reality" in which everything is all black or all white and unidimensional. Brainwashed into thinking that their guys AlWAYS wear white hats, these bozos never bother looking for evidence.
Call them G U L L I B L E, but it is more than that. They found an angry, selfish, stingy, pissed-off ideology that blames problems on everybody but themselves and their chosen leaders, and advocates remedies that give the resources in our society to the richest of the rich. Why? Because that is what is advocated by the pissed-off millionaire pundits that they admire (the ones who articulate the dupes' own discontent with being white men at at time of affirmative action). EVEN THOUGH (and this is important) their gullibility might keep their children, especially their daughters, from living decent lives, that is a sacrifice they are willing to make to boost their sad male egos.
Their mentality discourages both deep thinking and fact- finding, and replaces both with simplistic piped-in crapola from the dregs of our society...racists, drug-addled addicts who expect employees to act as their procurers, homophobes and war-profiteers who willingly sacrifice our youth by lying about reasons to invade a country that did nothing to us. These slugs are tuned into their particular mentality and, by george, they are sticking with their ideology. No matter where the truth could lead them...they are not going THERE.
Of course, we didn't believe Nixon when he said about HIMSELF (to the nation as a way to get off the hook when he was about to be caught in illegal behavior),"I am not a crook"...the evidence supports that was a lie. But when he said Thompson is dumb...hey, that has the ring of truth, since Nixon said it privately about a guy who was supposed to be on HIS SIDE.
Ouch!
Now clean your shoes after stomping the shit out of him, D-gal!
THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE INDEPENDENT EVIDENCE THAT THOMPSON IS DUMB AS HELL...
Nixon just verified it.
Hey Beej (If you're still here)
I need your prognostication skills.
How long do you think Thompson's wife will stay with him after he loses the nomination?
What is this business about Rush being nominated for a Nobel Prize?
For what? Marketing? Hyperbole?
Is his mother among the nominators?
Flatulence.
Rush has been declared a strategic gas reserve.
Heh.
Femi : LOFL !! -ralph
Do Algore & Jimmmmmmy want to save it?
ROTFLMFAO!
You really nailed him that time.
