It's way past Grandpa's bedtime. Clueless Fred unaware of death penalty cases especially in his own state. Was he living in a cave???
From Crooks and Liars:
From what I hear, Fred Thompson, the actor-lobbyist-presidential candidate, has been having a little trouble raising money for his campaign. Perhaps, out of the goodness of our hearts, we could chip in and buy him a newspaper subscription.
Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Thursday he was unaware that a federal judge had ruled last week that lethal injection procedures in his home state were unconstitutional.
Thompson also told reporters he was unaware that the U.S. Supreme Court agreed this week to consider a Kentucky case about whether lethal injection violates the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Thompson’s support for the death penalty was a major part of his campaign platform when he first ran for the U.S. Senate in Tennessee in 1994. Asked for his response to the recent Tennessee and Kentucky cases, Thompson responded, “I hadn’t heard that. I didn’t know.”

Fred is going down hill fast. Now he doesn't know anything about his own State. I told you got in for the money. Fred should be calling 24 or prisonbreak for a job soon.
None of the GOP candidates have a chance with Republican voters. I wonder will the Mrs. stick around or maybe she knows something about Fred's health condition that we don't.
