The_Jazz, I thought you were going for archival footage of the Watergate Hearings, which was included in Stone's JFK.
That's also relevant, IMO.

The guy's got a bio. It would be silly to dismiss him as nothing more than another entertainer. I'm not saying he's necessarily presidential material, but he's been around and done a few things. It might interest you, host, that Thompson spent more time in the U.S. Senate than John Edwards. He was also elected twice as many times.
