I suppose that you are just being jocular (if that's the adverb) with your comment: "I think Fred wants to be the VP in a ticket headed by Romney or Rudy." But if not, please realize that Mr. Thompson would not want to give up those millions he would get anchoring the Paul Harvey show and the money made on Law and Order just so he can sit in on Cabinet meetings and be quiet.
Damn, I am acting like Captain Obvious.
