Fred Thompson had some fun last night on Jon Stewart’s show. Talking about his failed 2008 presidential bid, Thompson joked that he had an “insurmountable object” to overcome: “the wisdom and inherent good judgment of the American people . . . So it worked out for everybody.” Below, Thompson also quips about that “BP guy” talking about the “little people.” The former Tennessee senator is currently promoting his new memoir, Teaching the Pig to Dance.
