Margaret Carlson - Thompson(?) (Vanity)

Rumor Control | 05/05/2007 | Staff

WHILE RESEARCHING SOMETHING, I CAME UPON THIS LITTLE SNIPPET OF RUMOR IN WIKI:

Margaret Carlson is an American journalist and a columnist for Bloomberg News.

[snip]

She is unrelated to television journalist Tucker Carlson. Carlson has been romantically linked with former Senator and potential Presidential candidate Fred Thompson. While Thompson denied the rumors, the rumors have persisted in the Washington DC gossip circuit and are reported to be hurting Thompson's presidential aspirations.

Has anyone else heard of this?.....

[johnny7]

I heard that Margaret had stalked Fred... I’m not sure if Tucker did.

The Gnats are at it again. Fueled, I suspect, by this from MediaMatters...

Fickle Chris Matthews, bolstered by Margaret Carlson: Now it's Thompson, with "movie star" looks, "daddy" image

Note to Fred: Maybe not all those gnats work for Pubbies....

[RexBeach]

Is this the same Margaret Carlson who used to write for Time Magazine?

I can’t imagine Fred would have an interest in her. She’s goofy and a knee-jerk liberal.

But then, one never knows what someone is thinking.

[mewzilla]

Maybe Carlson has an Electra Complex ;)

[Red Badger]

Sounds like she spoke from “experience”...........

Margaret Carlson? I could believe Maureen Dowd (her younger version), she was kind of good looking. But Margaret Carlson? Hard to imagine why Thompson would have any connection with her to get to where they could have a relationship, and she’s not exactly the kind of woman you would go out of your way to have relations with.

Explaining further. I can imagine that a good conservative columnist might have enough contact with a conservative lawmaker that a relationship could develop not based on looks.

But I don’t know how an unattractive liberal columnist would ever get to where there was a relationship with a conservative lawmaker.

Politics makes for strange bedfellows.........

Now we need to put this in perspective.

 

Wife, Jeri

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Former girl-friend, Lorrie Morgan

 

 

Rumored "girl-friend', Margaret Carlson

 

Maybe it's best to stick to the facts and forget this piece of rumor!!

[TommyDale]

BS. The guy dated some hotties, why would he be remotely interested in Margaret Carlson? LOL!

[Red Badger]

Well, it's not like it hasn't happened before.........James Carville - and family.........

[Red Badger]

She don’t look that bad.........considering her age and all........

[mewzilla]

Carlson may be to Thompson what Mo Dowd is to Michael Douglas.

[Red Badger]

I eat lots of candy at Christmas time, but the rest of the year I eat real food.........

Do you mean to tell me Margaret Carlson is still running around loose??? I haven’t heard about her in years. I thought somebody had finally locked her up in the looney bin.

[TommyDale]

Well, I met one of his dates, and she was a knockout. I cannot imagine stooping to a Margaret Carlson, at twice the age and all those wrinkles.

[K-oneTexas]

All in all ... this is another article (similar to one yesterday here on FR and seen/heard elsewhere) to make a "candidate" unattractive should he decide to throw his 'hat in the race'.

Facts on his character, principles and where he stands on the issues are what is needed. For all candidates. Not rumor and innuendo ... your basic Democrat tactic to drowned out any facts.

[mewzilla]

Not just a ‘Rat tactic....

"She is unrelated to television journalist Tucker Carlson.

For all these years I was convinced she was his mommy/wife.
