[Milhous]

Fred Thompson has instead been a protégé of one of the icons of liberal Republicanism, Howard Baker, who continues to be his key advisor. ... a go-along Senator



There he is finger under nose buddy-buddy with Baker going along to get along by sticking it to Nixon for big old mass media accolades.

Watergate lessons. It took millions to get a Bakers Dozen votes.

... The lesson of Watergate is also clear. It was not the Republican Minority leader Howard Baker who was rewarded for helping take down Richard Nixon. It was Nixon's supporters like Reagan that inherited the party. Baker holds the record of spending the most dollars per vote in a New Hampshire primary. Bakers media fame translated into a primary backlash against Howard Baker.

Thompson has a much longer history than that, of prosecuting corrupt politicians. This bothers you for some reason?

Do you defend the Clinton’s too? Did Thompson call for criminal prosecution of the Clinton’s just to dance for the Clinton press club?

This might be the most insane assertion I’ve heard yet...

Still the one who stuck it to Nixon was Richard M. Nixon!
