You, Sir, Are No George Washington...Thompson Compares Himself to Founding Father

Fred Thompson, lobbyist and actor, apparently considers himself the second coming of George Washington:

Fred Thompson's new non-campaign bio--a feature of I'm With Fred dot com 2.0--is a fascinating read, inasmuch as it provides insight into how the non-candidate will seek to shape his narrative, turning weaknesses into strengths and smoothing over the rough edges. This part [see: Fred Today], however, really caught my eye:

"In the tradition of President George Washington, a leader Thompson had admired growing up, he walked away from an easy reelection victory to seek new challenges. He joined the American Enterprise Institute as a visiting scholar, traveled the country as speaker and served on a Wall Street advisory board."

George Washington? Really?

Well, maybe Fred Thompson cannot tell a lie-- except to the pro-lifers --like when he covered up his lobbying for an abortion rights group...
