You'll be pleased to know you can buy this women's t-shirt for $14.95 at the Fred Thompson Online Store (url name:  iminbedwithfred.com).  Comes in small, medium, large, and X-tra large.  Meanwhile, on a planet whose very survival depends on sane energy policy, here's Fred Thompson's record as documented by the DNC:

Thompson Has Taken $150,000 From Big Energy PACs. Even before launching his presidential bid, Thompson got significant support from the energy sector in the form of PAC donations while he was a US Senator: $151,450 from energy and related PACs. [FECINFO, accessed 6/11/07]

Thompson Supports ANWR, Off-Shore Drilling. Thompson voted yes on an energy bill that allowed for oil and gas development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He also voted to kill an amendment that would have prohibited drilling in ANWR and voted for the final bill that included the provisions allowing for the drilling. [Senate Vote #71, 4/18/02, S517; Senate Vote #190, 5/34/95, SCONRES13; Senate Vote #556, 10/28/95, HR2491] Thompson voted to kill an amendment that would have prohibited the use of funds to execute a lease agreement for oil and gas development in the Gulf of Mexico. [Senate Vote #231, 7/12/01]

Thompson Repeatedly Opposed Tougher Renewable Energy, Fuel Efficiency Standards. Thompson voted against a sense of the Senate resolution that the Department of Transportation should study whether or not to raise CAFÉ standards for vehicles. Thompson also later voted against raising CAFÉ standards for pickup trucks. [Senate Vote #275, 9/15/99, HR2084; Senate Vote #48, 3/13/02, S517] Thompson voted to kill an amendment that would have increased funds for renewable energy by $70 million. [Senate Vote #171, 6/16/99, S1186] Thompson voted to change renewable energy standards in the 2002 Energy Bill to allow certain states to opt out of the standards requiring utilities to generate 10 percent of electricity from renewable energy facilities by 2020. Thompson also voted to limit the language so that utilities would only offer consumers electricity produced from renewable resources to the extent available. [Senate Vote #59, 3/21/02, S517; Senate Vote #55, 3/21/02, S51
