OH, THAT JENA SIX  —  By any reasonable measure, Fred Thompson, the actor-lobbyist-presidential candidate, is off to a rough start.  Particularly on policy matters, Thompson has been confused and uninformed about everything from Social Security policy to drilling the Everglades for oil to the 2005 Schiavo controversy.
