Ugh. In recent weeks, Fred Thompson has confessed his ignorance about several subjects. Oil drilling in Florida, whether or not he lobbied for a pro-choice group, the difference between Cuban immigrants and al Qaeda, whether or not state parties should be punished for leap-frogging and messing up the primary calendar, gay marriage bans, and even his own position on the Terry Shaivo drama.
