Thompson says radio natural fit for him

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - Fred Thompson is relying on his radio roots for a rally in South Carolina's GOP presidential primary.

Thompson has sat behind microphones in a series of town-hall meetings as talk radio hosts question him for a few minutes before opening it up to audiences. On Wednesday, it was at a diner in Sumter. On Saturday, it was much the same at an overflowing pancake house in North Charleston.

Thompson says the radio is a natural fit for someone who grew up listening to AM broadcasts, including the well-known commentator Paul Harvey. In fact, the former Tennessee senator is quick to point out he filled in for Harvey for a while.

"I wanted to bring it back in this campaign," Thompson said. "It's worked out real well for us."

SNIP

(Have at it!)

:D

Goes to reinforce the lazy label he's got hanging around his neck.

This is really funny!

And yes, that was in bad taste.
