Politico cover story goes after Thompson.

I think this is a minor story personally but they put this reallllly bad photo on Thompson on their webpage.


Kind of make you wonder...http://www.politico.com/

He looks like a cadaver in that photo!

My guess would be somewhere around zero.

Fred Thompson accepted at least $13,800 from a Tennessee family that oversaw a pharmaceutical company accused of ripping off federal and state governments.

Though the contributions could become fodder for his critics as he officially launches his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, the Thompson campaign defended the family’s support and pledged to keep the cash.

The company, King Pharmaceuticals, paid $124 million in 2005 to settle with the Justice Department and 49 states, which had alleged the company overcharged Medicaid and other government health programs for drugs from 1994 through 2002.

The company was founded in 1994 by John M. Gregory, a pharmacist who grew it from a small family operation to a publicly traded firm that made nearly $2 billion last year.<snip>

either..he's not taking care of himself and it shows.

How can he be contemplating a presidential run in that condition?
