The Fred Thompson Clown Show Continues

This time, our good Freddie Dalton Thompson^* is calling for oil drilling in the Everglades.

In response to a question about drilling there, he said, "Gosh, no one has told me there is any major reserves in the Everglades," and "No one prefers to drill at all anywhere".

Way to go Freddie. The clown show continues.

That being said, this is in the tradition of Ronald Reagan, who spent an awful lot of time claiming that trees cause pollution.

^*Yes, his birth certificate says "Freddie", not Fred or Fredrick".
