Rumors are swirling that former Sen. Fred Thompson may be making an announcement this weekend about his possible Presidential ambitions. Those rumors - being spread by a GOP presidential campaign - have it that Thompson plans to announce tomorrow night at the Council for National Policy, where he is to keynote. This is a closed press event. In a Washington suburb. Who is making this stuff up? And why are some people actually believing it? But while the location may be off, perhaps the timing is so far off target. Sources with knowledge of Thompson's plans indicate that if any announcement were to take place, it would be in Tennessee. Rumor has it that's where Thompson will be early next week.
