John, whatever the caricature of Thompson sketched by Michelle Cottle is, it remains her kind of Republican rather than a Republican’s kind. She’s simply following in the steps of Clark Clifford when he described Ronald Reagan as an amiable dunce. And we know who had the last laugh there. I suppose that when Cottle comes acropper in a new BCCI scandal, she can plead insanity, as she recently did on Dick Cheney’s behalf.
