The famous explorer

"Thompson forms exploratory committee." Has he thought about exploring Antartica? He could use Shackleton's hut, which is still intact.

Wisconsin former governor Tommy Thompson's fame precedes him, even with the more metropolitan Wonkette (ht: Playground Politics):
Thompson was governor of Wisconsin, where he grew mutant transgendered deer, and then Bush made him the Health and Human Services secretary, where he told a $150 billion lie about the new Medicare scheme and engaged in regular conflicts of interest that profited his various companies and investments. In 2004, he quit to concentrate on putting radio-computer chips in people's skin so the government can control them or even kill them at will.
To be fair, I think the transgendered deer is only the responsibility of Governor Doyle.
