Thompson's Red Cross Neglect and More:

Here is a good story on the Journal's love-affair with Tonmmy - in which this little nugget surfaced:

Charles E. Grassley, the Republican senator from Iowa, criticized the Red Cross and noted the poor attendance of eight board members appointed by the White House, including his fellow Republican, Tommy Thompson. That’s right, Thompson, the guy who’s giving corporate America 233% of his time, gave the Red Cross just 6%, missing 15 of 16 board meetings during his three years on the board (2002-’05). Would this sort of attendance help explain how he’s able to juggle his appointments to so many boards?


It seems that Tommy is much too busy making himself money to do anything about the Red Cross.

Another Republican, another tie to failure.
