Maybe he isn't quite ready for prime-time? While not a deal breaker this early on, the level of turn over of key people in what will soon be the Thompson campaign simply isn't comforting. Has he ever run anything as an executive?
On the eve of his big day, Fred Thompson has let another staffer go.
Jim Mills, the former Fox News producer who joined the campaign only weeks ago, has resigned due to "strategic differences." This from campaign manager Bill Lacy in a memo to the staff, sent out Tuesday "just before we begin the Big Dance."
"Our new Communications Director Todd Harris is building an experienced and aggressive team of campaign professionals to help lead our press operation," Lacy wrote. He added, "This constitutes a substantial shift, not in our candidate's message, but in the way we support it and enhance it. Due to this shift, Jim Mills has informed me that he is leaving the campaign due to strategic differences. I respect Jim's decision and encourage all of you to join me in wishing him the best of luck."
Leno? I'm guessing that sickly old man hasn't been up past 10 in years. My guess is that 'Bubbles' suggested it.

(psst... Hey, StamfordHairyBearBoobs... I'm willing to bet that "sickly old man" Fred! could easily whoop your gigantic, greasy, tubby butt - assuming you could heave your disgusting bulk out of your computer chair).

BiS is often a much too easy target for ridicule though... although perhaps I'll chalk it up to poor sportsmanship, ya know, sort of like plastering pigeons on the ground with a 12ga. without properly kicking them so that they fly up into the air.
