And the list of things that Tennessee's Frederick of Hollywood "didn't know" continues to grow. Now we learn that Fred Thompson didn't know about the recent headline news regarding the death penalty.
Obviously, Fred Thompson also didn't know that if you are going to run for president, you should probably pick up a newspaper from time to time. This country does not want another president who didn't know there was a hurricane in New Orleans.
One of these days, I will be writing that final Freddie Thompson didn't know post: Freddie Thompson Didn't Know Somebody Else Got the Nomination.
FRANKLIN, Tenn. - Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Thursday he was unaware that a federal judge had ruled last week that lethal injection procedures in his home state were unconstitutional.
Thompson also told reporters he was unaware that the U.S. Supreme Court agreed this week to consider a Kentucky case about whether lethal injection violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Thompson's support for the death penalty was a major part of his campaign platform when he first ran for the U.S. Senate in Tennessee in 1994. Asked for his response to the recent Tennessee and Kentucky cases, Thompson responded, "I hadn't heard that. I didn't know."
