Fred Thompson has a "staffer", Phil Martin, who is one of four campaign co-chairmen. Is this another example of the "blip" style of journalism on FOX, when something unflattering to their side is duly reported, once, and then discarded. Unlike the "drip, drip, drip" method employed when the "scandal" is attached to a Democratic candidate or progresive person, there will be no faux outrage, no in-depth investigations into the person's past, and no revelations that, for example, the large amounts of "illegal substances" glazed over was $30,000 worth of cocaine or the fact that Martin was on probabtion for the sale of eleven pounds of pot when he was busted for the coke as well as book making. I think details like that are important to so-called "values voters" and FOX is minimizing those unsavory facts to keep the tarnish off the Party.
Compare this to the continuing coverage afforded to the Clinton campaign when Sandy Berger was found to be consulting with Clinton What say you Y/A?

ABC News tonight with Charles Gibson
Brian Ross covered it. In 1983 the man in question
had a drug traffic charge then dealings further...
Thompson said he never knew. He is flying commercial
now. He basically said these things come up as expected
.... it's obvious.
John McCain and his co-chair in a public toilet scheme, Rudy and his campaign outs, and we have Hillary and HSU. Now who gets airplay and who gets the pass here? Pls. Fox is just a shill for Rupert Murdoch. A democratic supporter. He rakes in major dough and rating with each controversy. Remember Rosie V. BO? The View and ABC made millions each time the co host pissed someone off. It's shock jock TV Jerry Springer format. If Fox dribbled the info on one stage be sure another will run rampant and make asp of themselves elsewhere. As the media spins.
btw in my opinion u got a pass in the latest removal of long time posters... pls continue to honor that, I for one do not wish the ole chimp to reappear RIP our dear departed until next we meet ! added: looks like the one u mentioned blocked everyone, not just you...

Looks like this guy makes (made?) his money in the import buisness . Awfully light sentences for a guy dealing with this volume of Dope. You say this goes back to the Regan Era. Was this when the Iran Contra thing was going on. Weren't they selling dope to help finance their private army in Central America and their dealings with Iran? Hmmmmm
You gotta give it to Bush. No selling dope to finance his private army (Blackwater) no siree. He got you and I to pay for it!!

No they would have been calling for a full blown investigation if it was a Democrat.
