June 1, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - Gruff, graying Republican Fred Thompson has a proven track record of tapping into a younger generation - starting with his wife.

The 64-year-old ex-senator wowed Generation X with his movie roles in "The Hunt for Red October" and "Die Hard 2," and he won over his bombshell blonde wife, Jeri Kehn - 24 years his junior.

I favor Mrs. Thompson...

Judi is from northeastern PA, not South Hampton, though she may have achieved that status now. i don’t think she looks classy at all, though i know that is the look she tries for.

I think his wife will be a secret weapon. In interviews her good looks will cause interviewers to underestimate her. When she strikes they wont know what hit them. It will be fun to watch.

[HitmanLV]

Yep, there you go.

[HitmanLV]

I know she isn’t from Long Island (long may you be an Island!). That’s just the vibe I get from her. To be fair, most of the women I fit into that category aren’t from SH, but that’s the image they aspire to and project. And that’s the vibe I get from Judi.

I don’t find her crass in any way. I do find her to be ‘affected’ as some teenagers folks might say.

Judy classy? LOL - she tried to move into the house of her married lover while his kids lived there. White trash.

[HitmanLV]

Who was this?

[finnman69]

she’s a lil’ slutty looking (agreed on the dress, expecially when marrying someone so much older), but still attractive

[JamesP81]

I know that a lot of people are going to say, ‘yuck. The age difference.’ All I’m gonna personally say, however, is ‘way to go Fred!’

[HitmanLV]

I wouldn’t say slutty. Just not good taste in that dress. But I’m old fashioned. She is a nice looking woman with a good natural bod, but I wouldn’t overstate her looks at all (like some men on FR do).

[HitmanLV]

The age difference is not a big deal with an older man/younger woman combo. Also, she isn’t 20 or anything, so the spread isn’t all that big.

[HEY4QDEMS]

but I wouldn’t overstate her looks at all (like some men on FR do).

You should try browsing some of the Ann Coulter threads. LOL

[HitmanLV]

I like Ann and she is an attractive woman, but FR men are prone to overstating her looks, too.

[JamesP81]

I hate to say it, but Dennis Kucinich has the edge over Fred on this playing field.

I've always had a soft spot for fair red heads, so you're right if you restrict the category to looks only. But Jeri Kehn's keen mind and intellect carries the day...

[HEY4QDEMS]

so you're right if you restrict the category to looks only

The thread is about having a "Babe Wife".

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Please don’t tell me you weren’t aware Rudy and Judi tried to move into Gracie Mansion with Donna and the kids.

[jmc813]

2008 is going to be the year of the Beautiful Wife.

I was just thinking that the other day. Mrs. Thompson, Giuliani, Kucinich and Obama are all doable IMO.

[HitmanLV]

Rudy had left Donna well before he got together with Judy. It’s not Donna’s house, it’s where the Mayor is supposed to live.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Rudy had left Donna well before he got together with Judy

I believe I heard otherwise. I'll have to check that one out.

As far as moving into Gracy, I believe the crux of the problem was Donna's reluctance to leave.
