The GOP’s other Thompson — Tommy — is complaining about a lack of support from Wisconsin, the state he governed for fourteen years:
Thompson raised just $473,000 from April to June, while Republican rivals Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and John McCain all raised more than $10 million.
Thompson wouldn’t say how much money he has raised in Wisconsin, but it “didn’t come anywhere near my target.”
He blamed the Wisconsin media, particularly the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“I expected to come out of Wisconsin with the media behind me, raising the dollars so I could get through Iowa,” he told the newspaper.
Yeah, well, I expected to be a rock star at this point in my life. I blame the media for failing to make it happen. Especially those bastards at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Seriously, at least George Pataki could take a hint. Thompson looks like a perfect example of the kind of candidate for whom Ames will be — I’m truly sorry for the pun — the last straw.

Something to say?
Oh come now, you’re not sorry about the pun.
And I blame my plastic surgeon.
