Fred: "I Have Staffers?"

The departure of more staffers hasn't got Fred Thompson down one bit. In fact, from the looks of this article, he didn't know they were on staff in the first place.

Republican Fred Thompson played down a staff member's departure and a New Hampshire supporter's defection Wednesday, saying it's not up to him to know what's going on at every level of his presidential campaign.

"This is a campaign with a lot of different moving parts and a lot of things going on simultaneously," Thompson said in an interview with The Associated Press [...]

"You know, the campaign can address that. I can't really address who's doing — and who was doing — exactly what at every level of this campaign," Thompson said after speaking to about 300 people at a restaurant in South Carolina. "They're the ones who know what's going on on a daily basis. ... I'll let the experts speak on that."

The CAMPAIGN can address that? Aren't you the campaign? Aren't you supposed to know what's going on, at least a little bit? Shouldn't you be the expert?

Meanwhile, Thompson managed to round up enough experts to write his first policy statement yesterday. Guess what, it's about those damn illegals. Reports have it that Fred doesn't know how many illegal immigrants are in the country and it's not his job to know and anyway he didn't write the policy so leave him alone while he eats yogurt.
