Two weeks ago, I asked if Fred Thompson is chicken, noting that he was only doing softball interviews with conservative media people, such as Bill Bennett and Sean Hannity (without Alan Colmes). Today, Thompson's campaign issued this press release:

McLEAN, VA - Fred & Jeri Thompson will appear as guests on The Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes tonight, Wednesday, October 3rd, at 9:00 pm EST.

What the campaign doesn't say is that tonight's interview is--once again--only with Hannity, the rightwinger. Colmes won't be part of this appearance. Now how much of a tough and gutsy Law & Order-sort of guy can Thompson be if he's afraid to mix it up with Colmes--or anyone else?
