Thompson has played a district attorney (currently on "Law & Order"), an FBI agent, a detective, a White House chief of staff, a CIA director, a lieutenant colonel, a rear admiral, a major general, some guy named "Big John" in Tom Cruise's "Days of Thunder," and a U.S. president.
Looks qualified to me, by her own admition. Play the role that's who you are.
I’m pretty happy with the article. It is so stupid and over the top that it might have a boomerang effect.
As far as I can tell, Thompson doesn’t have any enemies in Hollywood. He is a conservative Republican, but his acting career has been distinguished, and even the libs he works with seem to have nice things to say about him.
By attacking him over a role he once played, this could possibly generate support from Hollywood types who would rather stay on the sidelines. True, 90 percent of them are dyed-in-the-wool Dems, but this attack on Thompson is an attack on their profession. Some of them might actually take offense.
That’s a real stretch, Tina.
