Fred Thompson did himself no favors by firing (or forcing out or however he does it) Jim Mills, a delightfully funny and enormously well liked newsman. Jim had this to say via e-mail about his experience at the Thompson camp: “As far as I can tell — the only people who haven’t worked in the Fred Thompson press shop this summer are Larry Craig and that woman astronaut who wore those diapers cross country.” What is he doing next? “I am currently checking in with my Catholic friends to see if they can recommend for me any local priests who still perform exorcisms.” Oh my. Jim will do just fine after this –now there’s a fellow who should go on Jay Leno.
