"Regular Guy" Fred Thompson

Back in the Mid-90s, my job required me to meet a VIP at Reagan National coming in from Nashville on Monday mornings. One of the joys of that job was to regularly encounter Senator Fred Thompson, carrying his big briefcase, as he strolled quickly and confidently toward his ride. No Entourage, No Yes Men. Just the Senator on his way to work after a weekend in Tennessee.

This guy has the look and demeanor of someone who gets the job done. One look at that natural scowl on his face and one knows, 'Don't get in my way boy! You'll get run over'

You evidently saw more of Fred during his senatorial years than the people of West Tennessee ever did. I never remember him coming to any place south of Jackson. Still, I believe that he is the best that we have to offer this election.

I’ve got to say, I saw the same thing in Evan Bayh. I was a regular on Independence Air flights to Washington for a while, and saw him several times on the RJ from Dulles ($69 ticket)
