Today was Jeri's last day on the radio show; apparently 22 hours a day with me is enough. Go figure. #tcot #ftrs 02:30 PM Mar 1

I love when Fred makes a mockery out of the media (see here and here). And today the AP asked the candidates their most prized keepsakes: REPUBLICANS: Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani: "My grandfather's pocket watch." Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: "Probably my Tobias bass guitar or maybe, I've got a handmade musket rifle that was made by a guy in Eureka Springs, Ark. I've hunted turkey with it. It's really an amazing firearm. Probably one of those two as far as just real heirlooms." Arizona Sen. John McCain: "I have a baseball signed by Ted Williams, my childhood...

"....Has the presidential campaign of Republican Fred Thompson gone off the rails before the candidates has even declared he is running? ...[snip]? CARL CAMERON, FOX NEWS CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, it looks like there is a bit of a mutiny starting on Fred Thompson's campaign ship even before it leaves the dock. Another staffer resigned today. That is three in three days, with more expected, over what insiders call the haphazard, unfocused and undisciplined way things are being handled or not handled and over the candidates' wife.

Fred Thompson's Trophy Wife Susan Estrich Friday, July 13, 2007 Fred Thompson, would-be presidential candidate, is 64 years old and looks it. His wife, Jeri, is two years younger than one of his daughters and looks even younger than her 40 years. They have had two babies together since they married in 2002. Does it matter?

So, does anyone care when Fred Thompson does it? There have...

With an 8-month-old baby boy and a 4-year-old daughter, it might be tricky for Fred and Jeri Thompson -- the as-yet unofficial potential first couple -- to steal some candlelit alone time on this special day, their fifth wedding anniversary. But that's OK. Because from what we hear, Jeri would be just as happy to spend the day writing her hubby's presidential candidacy announcement speech. One of the burning questions surrounding the Thompson camp (besides what day Fred will make his run official) is what role his wife will play in the campaign. Jeri Thompson, who at age 40 is...

IT may not be illegal for a man to ask his wife for sex in front of strangers in a nightclub with cages and whips suspended from the ceiling, but it is inadvisable if he is considering a run for the US Senate. Jack Ryan, an improbably tall, dark and handsome candidate for a Senate seat in Illinois, twisted in the wind for days last week, unwilling to admit he had done anything wrong after the release of divorce papers in which his former wife, a steely blonde Star Trek actress, described how he had taken her to “explicit sex...
