One day after Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson appeared on Meet the Press to defend a top campaign advisor and fundraiser with a criminal history of drug dealing and tax evasion—we posted this yesterday afternoon at the Huffington Post, sorry for not mentioning—the drug dealing, tax evading fundraiser (finally) steps down.
