WASHINGTON - It is the kind of story you could write a book about: A 35-year-old single mother of three is fired from her state job after refusing to go along with a scheme to pardon criminals who bribe aides to the governor. The plot cries out for a good lawyer to save the day.
All the better if he has charm and a commanding presence. Enter Fred Thompson, 6-foot-5 inches of cigar-chomping Southern gentleman. He saves the day; the woman is vindicated.
And best of all, for a man with a presidential campaign in his future, it is a true story, and someone did write a book about it.
Many a life follows a serendipitous path. One person's influence sends someone's career in a new direction.

Comment from the Owner: Is it just me or does this article make it sound like Fred Thompson only did the right thing because he knew 20 years later he would be running for President? Can you say Media Bias?
