Thompson: "dumb as hell" but "friendly."

At least according to Tricky Dick.

• "He gained national attention for leading the line of inquiry that revealed the audio-taping system in the White House Oval Office," his official bio says.... At one point, the White House counsel told Nixon that Thompson insisted he wanted to help the president more than his patron and boss on the committee, Sen. Howard Baker, R-Tenn, would let him.

Eh...right. He's just another actor who wants play President. Next he will be doing ads sitting in a red pickup. And a bunch of idiots will fall for it.
