Via Captain Ed, here is Fred Thompson responding to the lobbying charges the Democrats are weakly flinging his way (kinda weird how both the AP and the DNC came out with that attack on the same day):
Media Mutter is after Fred Thompson now too (couldn’t even bring myself to bother to read it having seen their nitpicks before; those guys go after anyone even slightly conservative like over-anxious Chihuahuas). These knee-biters are pretty slow to come up with a coherent attack against Fred Thompson that people will actually care about, but give them a few months.

You mean ankle biters
[Knee-biter is a perfectly cromulent put down. -Ed.]
Is there some way to make the Grossie O’Doughnut ad go away?
Oh and Fred is not just Awesome, he’s AweALL.
Thompson/Bolton ’08
This is good news that shows “Herself” to be concerned with Mr. Fred Thompson! It will be a gigantanormous battle of good vs. evil the like of which the world hasn’t seen since Christ decended into hell! I like the Thompson/Bolton suggestion! That’s my choice also!
Kind of reminds me of the Justice League where a crook empties his gun (ineffectively) at Wonder Woman, and then goes to throw it at her.
She says, “Like that will work,” and takes it away.
Not that I’m implying Fred Thompson is like a woman. But she could qualify to be his Hot Wife.
