James Lileks on Fred Thompson:

I did the Hewitt show. We discussed Fred Thompson, whom I like – he’s good ol’ Uncle Fred, the cool slow-talkin’ relative who has a beer with your dad and maybe tousles your hair as you run past, and who may or may not have shot a man in Reno back in ’67. Well, that’s what you heard mom tell her friend.

Hmm. Could Fred Thompson campaign dressed all in black?
