That’s a great analogy! Clinton vs. Thompson looks like Mondale vs. Reagan.
How much interaction did Hillary and Fred have during the Watergate investigation? Anybody know? Are they old adversaries?
Fred Thompson was the Minority Counsel, Hillary was a glorified intern.
The Democrats [Sam Dash] were in charge of the Democrat staff [Hillary].
The Republicans [Fred] was in charge of the Republican staff.
Fred worked mostly with Sam Dash and a few others at the top of the Dem staff. Hillary was a bottom feeder. Fred was at the top on the other side.
Fred was aware of what was going on with the Dem staff and had uncomplimentary things to say about them. He thought there was unprofessional conduct with the Dem staffers although he never named names. However, he liked Sam Dash and thought he had integrity.
Fred thought the staffers [including Hillary] were a tail end that was wagging the rest of the dog.
There may be issues between Fred and Hillary because of that, but he doesn’t get specific in his book and never named her, but he sure was not impressed with the Dem staff.
