I heart Charles Pierce

    What about Fred Thompson? He doesn't get the "lack of experience" criticism, but he was in the Senate for only about 8 years - he filled the last 2 years of Gore's term, and then had one full term of his own. Other than this, he's never been elected to anything. He was an assistant US Attorney for 3 years and served about a year as an attorney for a Congressional committee investigating Watergate.

He's been a White House Chief of Staff and an Air Traffic Control chief, not to mention a rear Admiral and the Director of Central Intelligence AND the District Attorney for New York City. No experience. Hmph.
