Glad you posted this. It shows the quality of Fred’s character in not abandoning a friend because of his youthful past. Question is, do we trust that Fred’s discernment of his friend is accurate? If he is being mislead and his friend is still into criminal activity, to bad for Fred because he will be tarred with that friend’s wrongs. If Fred is knowledgable of such criminality then he doesn’t need to be elected to run as the Republican candidate (I seriously doubt this possibility!). If the friend has rehabilitated himself, Fred is right to deflect this sty digging by the media, but should caution his friend and all campaign workers that their pasts will be found out during this opposition to the Rodham-rodent slime machine. Before this is over, if Fred gets the nomination, the slimey clinton goons could sink to trying to smear Fred more condom misuse while he was single. NOTHING of lowness is below the bellies of the clintons and their slugs.

When I watched the interview, what I heard from Fred is that he only learned about this last night and that he would have to meet with his friend personally and then figure out what needs to be done.
Fred Thompson: “I’m not going to throw my friend under the bus for something he did, you know, 25 years ago if he’s OK now. On the other hand, I’m running for president, I—I’ve got, you know, to, to do the right thing, you know, and problems occur, and I’ll just have to figure it out.”
