I didn't mean to imply that he was lazy, or that I think he's lazy. But, he was on the View a few weeks ago as well as the Daily Show, and he made it pretty clear his political life was over, at least to the extent of doing it every day.
I just don't think he wants the grueling hours it takes to be a successful Party Chairman.
Thompson took Peter Graves place doing “reverse mortgage” commercials, so I would say his political days are over.
