Thompson just a talented actor? I think not!

In this interesting piece for The Boston Globe Michael Kranish brings up some interesting history that I was totally unaware of.

Fred Thompson (yes that one) tipped off the Nixon administration several times that the Watergate investigators were getting close to certain people or things. In fact he may have been the reason for the the notorious gap in the tapes that we have all heard so much about. It seems that the existence of the tapes and their value to the investigators was leaked to the administration a day before it was made public. This gave them all the time thry needed to get rid of the evidence.

Does that sound presidentail to you? If you are a Republican, you bet it does!
