Glenn,
When you said "There is nothing in Fred Thompson's life that he has actually done that makes him "a tough guy" in the sense Fineman means it", are you forgetting his bullying of, for instance, John Dean when Thompson was minority counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee?
I think the 'toughness' he displayed then would qualify him well for the kind of misguided, uninformed, culturally insensitive and ineffective interrogations that we are now, unfortunately, too often doing.
