Fred Thompson: Actor, Senator . . . Lobbyist?

David Sirota fills in the picture for us from these nuggets along the way (I'm a little late in getting to read them). Looks like Fred Thompson has distinguished himself over 18 years of service in the lobbying the field, including as recently as 2002.

It's not unusual for former senators to register as lobbyists. It's probably not all that unusual for former lobbyists to campaign for President (of course no one says he's campaigning . . . yet). I'm not even saying there's anything wrong with this. But if there's one thing we've learned from the corruption and cronyism of the last congress, it's that everything is worth investigating.
