Classic:

Question: Does anyone in Fred Thompson’s campaign ever give him briefing books?

“Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson seemed taken by surprise when asked Tuesday about oil drilling in the Everglades, apparently unaware it’s been a major Florida issue. Before answering, he laughed at the question.

” ‘Gosh, no one has told me that there’s any major reserves in the Everglades, but maybe that’s one of the things I need to learn while I’m down here,’ Thompson said after talking over state issues with Gov. Charlie Crist.”

Uh, maybe.

Nice.
