WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson says he’s not interested in being the GOP vice presidential candidate.
Thompson spoke on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. Thompson says the presumptive Republican nominee, U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, hasn’t offered him the job. But, Thompson says, he’s not interested in the position.
Thompson was one of two Republicans on the show discussing the vice presidency.

Oh, & by the way - we predicted this two months ago.

It’s all very humorous, really: the story came out a while back that Fred Thompson had never really intended to run for President; that supporters had floated his name as a possible candidate in order to boost his chances at being the VP pick.
And now he doesn’t want that?

First, this “news” is nearly two months old and as always Fred spelled out exactly why VP is a waste of his time and clearly an obvious waste of his correct patriotism, real experience and genuine qualifications…even if certain disloyal residents haven’t performed their responsibility in finding out who he is.
Second, “stories” made up by idiots are only believed by bigger ones.
