So what is really Ready Freddy's agenda?
USA Today finally breaks the national media silence about the one-third of Fred Thompson’s life that he spent as a high-paid corporate lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Thompson’s campaign, which is being run by his fellow K Street lobbyists, responded by saying only that being a K Street lobbyist “is an honorable endeavor that goes back to the beginnings of this republic.”

Mr. THOMPSON: We have, you know—if you include state taxes—the highest corporate tax rate in the world. That makes us less competitive. All those things have to be looked at. And all those—especially as far as the corporate tax rate is concerned, need to be clearly reduced, I think.
KUDLOW: Yeah, it's an interesting point. There's been a bunch of news articles. Europe, believe it or not--I mean, old Europe, believe it or not is engaging in low tax-cutting competition. And...
Mr. THOMPSON: It's ironic that when western Europe starts going lower than you, you need to be concerned about it.
His decision to make enacting new corporate tax breaks the centerpiece of his campaign.
This .pdf from Citizens for Tax Justice shows that 82 of the largest and most profitable US corporations paid NO tax for one or more years during the Bush Administration.

"K Street" and "honorable" do not even belong in the same paragraph, page, or book. Honorable as compared to what Actor Thompson? Honorable as in the money changers who served in the temple (who later received an ass kicking from Jesus)?
There was a reason and a personal agenda to why Thompson put in his name in the hat.
