Fred Thompson Profile in The Tennessean

There's a pretty good profile of Fred Thompson in The Tennessean that's worth reading to get a feeling for the background of the actor, former Senator, and possible presidential candidate. I noticed a couple of paragraphs in there that could be problematic for him:

"He was smart, but he was lazy. He probably could have been a straight-A student if he'd applied himself."

...

In the Class of 1960's senior yearbook, his picture bore the caption "Freddie Dalton Thompson." Printed with it was this saying: "The lazier a man is, the more he plans to do tomorrow."

The "Thompson is lazy" meme is already circulating out there, though given his accomplishments so far in life, it's a little hard to argue that he is lazy or has no ambition. However, I expect to hear that complaint from his opponents should he get in the race.
