RS Radio: Part 2 of our Fred!cast

Since last week's Los Angeles Times hit job on Fred Thompson, a few things have happened.
First, since the Los Angeles Times article came out, it's been pointed out that Senator Thompson had never acted as a cowboy and thus could not have related a story Ms. DeSarno claims he related. That bit of the article has now mysteriously disappeared from the Los Angeles Times article.
Second, Thompson had not gone to work at Arent Fox, the firm from which Thompson was allegedly hired, until several months after the abortion rights group claims it hired him through Arent Fox.
On Saturday, I talked to Senator Thompson about the accusation. You can listen to his response in part 2 of our podcast.
Beyond the LA Times allegations, I asked Senator Thompson about his views on Iraq. He gave a forceful defense of the war and the reasons for going to war. Likewise, he is adamant that failure is not an option. To fail, surrender, withdraw, or retreat would be viewed as weakness by our enemies and would subsequently open us up to further attacks. Senator Thompson believes we must do everything possible to win the war.
Here's a hard link to the podcast.

...(hypothetically) to tell them he was the wrong attorney for them, because he couldn't bring passion to an argument he strongly disagreed with, it would still be unethical for him to talk about his dealings with that client. On the surface, he was "helping" them. So even if his "help" was trying to discourage them from going forward, or was finding them more suitable representation, it's unethical for him to discuss the matter.
...sheesh! What was that he said at the end? This is....the greatest...country, ahh umm, ever! and I'm gonna....ahh...lead America...back...to uhhhhh...it's....ummm rightful place!!
Not very "charismatic" in my opinion. He needs to polish his speaking skills. Romney is world's ahead of him in that department.

Bill Clinton was/is one of the best political speakers of our time.
I think I can handle a few uhhhhhs & ummmms so long as I can get integrity

...be trusted, not only for lack of oversight, but because we can't be trusted not to go in after the fact and remove or alter pieces of our posts and articles? Surely the LA Times hasn't sunk to a level beneath most honorable bloggers*....have they?
*Yes, honorable. When we make a mistake, we
strike through it, or issue an [UPDATE] or a [CORRECTION]; we don't simply remove chunks and pretend that nothing was there.How pathetic. Jeez.
