Freddy's Nightmare

Quote of the Day:

[Former Sen] Fred D. Thompson brought his remarks to a close with a nod of his head and an expression of thanks...Then he stood face to face with a silent audience.

“Can I have a round of applause?” Mr. Thompson said, drawing a rustle of clapping and some laughter.

“Well, I had to drag that out of you,” he said.

And he's supposed to be the savior of the conservative fascist wing of the Republican Party?
