Not THAT Thompson. Oh, yes, I would DEFINITELY not complain if McCain chose Fred Thompson. But a guy he should be considering is Larry Thompson, former No. 2 in the Justice Department, now general counsel at PepsiCo. Has good reform credentials of the sort McCain admires because he busted up Enron. Earned extremely high marks as a good manager at Justice. Pretty solidly conservative across the board. And, if I remember correcly, a friend of Clarence Thomas’ from their days together at the Monsanto Corp.
