Fred Thompson To Take To The Air To Succeed O’Reilly

The NY Times reports on the former Senator and Presidential candidate’s latest venture:

Several of the supporting actors in this year’s Republican primary are showing interest in the medium, too. Fred Thompson, the “Law & Order” star turned presidential candidate, will begin hosting a two-hour show in March, as the syndicator Westwood One is expected to announce this week. Mr. Thompson’s show would take the place of Mr. O’Reilly’s.

Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and a Republican presidential candidate, had been in negotiations with Westwood One for Mr. O’Reilly’s time slot, according to two people with knowledge of the talks who spoke on the condition of anonymity because a deal was not struck.

Talk Radio May Have Inadvertently Wasted Everybody’s Time

Gordon Belt on some interesting revelations during the Secretary of State interviews down at the legislature.

Rollins actually admitted during the interview that he applied for the position after hearing about the opening on talk radio the day before the application deadline. He owns a Maaco auto body shop in Nashville, is working on an online Master’s degree, and had absolutely no political experience before applying for the Secretary of State position. I’m sure Mr. Rollins is a nice fellow, but I think he applied for the wrong job. I’d be very surprised if he made the final cut.
