Fred Thompson's revealing back story
In his Watergate memoir, the would-be president is remarkably honest about his conflict as a loyal Republican confronted with his president's perfidy. Imagine such a Republican today.
By Walter Shapiro [2007-08-23]

  • Clinton ain't so far in the past, d00d

    totallyblase, how can you respond to an article about a 1975 autobiography with a statement that events in 2000 are too far in the past to be worth considering?

    I realize that's the standard Democrat programmed response these days to anything about Clinton, but don't be more of an idiot than God made you. If we're to compare the behavior of Republicans now to the behavior of Democrats when their guy was in office, Clinton is the most recent example -- and at a mere seven years ago, historically it's quite recent. I realize you people want to bury the example of your conduct during the Clinton administration like a cat kicking sand over a turd, but buddy, the smell lingers.

    When Republicans were faced with a man who was morally unfit to be President, they did the right thing. Democrats, faced with the same choice, wouldn't -- and now they pretend that it happened a century ago. You only wish.
