Or, Reckless Republican on a Rampage (a series)

~SNIP:~ Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson has been charged by an Alexandria police officer for reckless driving, clocking in at 68 miles an hour in a 40 zone. An attorney for the former Wisconsin governor appeared in General District Court last week to schedule a February court date. It’s the second time Alexandria police have impeded the former governor of Wisconsin’s life in the fast lane.

Thompson’s court record dates back to August 2002, when he was serving as a cabinet secretary for President George W. Bush.

~WIKIPEDIA SNIPPET:~

After first announcing the formation of an exploratory committee in late 2006, Thompson announced his candidacy for the 2008 presidential election on April 1, 2007.

During a May 3, 2007, presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Thompson said in response to a question from moderator Chris Matthews that a private employer opposed to homosexuality should have the right to fire a gay worker. He said, "I think that is left up to the individual business. I really sincerely believe that that is an issue that business people have got to make their own determination as to whether or not they should be."

...

Thompson currently serves on the Board of Directors for Accordia Global Health Foundation and the board of Directors for Pure Bioscience Inc. (PURE.OB) and serves on the Board of Trustees of the non-profit, Medical Missions for Children and is the co-host for their television series, Plain Talk About Health.
