Scarborough Attacks Fred's Wife (Joe insults Fred's wife)

Captain's Quarters ^ | 6/4/07 | Ed Morrissey

[teddyballgame]

Joe Scarborough offers his keen insight and classy analysis into today's political scene in an interview this morning with Congressional Quarterly's Craig Crawford. During the Morning Joe program on MS-NBC, Scarborough suggested that Fred Thompson's wife is a whore (via the Palmetto Scoop):

SCARBOROUGH: Have you seen Fred Thompson’s wife? CRAWFORD: Oh, yeah.

SCARBOROUGH: You think she thinks she works the pole?

CRAWFORD: That’s what a Hollywood career will do for you, I guess.

SCARBOROUGH: What do you mean?

CRAWFORD: You get wives like that.

SCARBOROUGH: I mean, look at that guy. God bless him, I love his voice. But I mean, you know. He ain’t Robert Redford in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”

CRAWFORD: Well I would like to see him back into politics because I think he’s a lousy actor.

Ex-Girlfriend Endorsement -Now That's Saying A Lot!

"...Lorrie Morgan says her former boyfriend, Fred Thompson, would make a great president. Lorrie, who dated Fred for a couple of years in the mid-'90s, told Ralph Emery on his RFD-TV show "Live" that she definitely thinks Fred is presidential material.

"I always thought it," she said. "I used to beg him to run for president. I used to say, 'If you were in the White House, I would be so safe-feeling. I could go to sleep at night and know that everything was taken care of up there.'"

Lorrie said that even then Fred had presidential aspirations and that the two of them talked about a possible run.

"Fred is an extremely smart man, but yet when you talk to him you feel you're on his level," she said. "He would listen to what I had to say about him running, but Fred didn't really need my advice about anything. I think that Fred Thompson is one of the best people I've ever met in my life, honestly."

Lorrie said she blames herself for the end of the relationship. "It was very hard being politically correct for me all the time," she said. "I don't think it ever bothered Fred, but it bothered me."

Women aren’t visual. Traditionally, women fall in love with the protective power of a mate. He has that!

PLUS he really is a good looking man.

Here’s the thread to read—lots of FR guys feeling very warm...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1843203/posts

Yep, there’s no stepping back from that comment.

[Dante3]

MSNBC is out to attack not only her but I have noticed Joe, Olberman seemed obsessed or they are following orders to attack Bill O’Reilly, Fox News, even “American Idol.” I rarely watch Olberman but just about every time I have, he has obsessed over O’Reilly. Is he gay?

I think I heard she is 4 yrs younger than his youngest daughter.

"Oh, is that your sister?"

"No, it's my stepmother"

coming soon to Jay Leno and Letterman......

Scarborough is late to the game. FR was way ahead of him.

There are any of a number of threads on FR where FRedheads leer openly and make make just as raw and unbecoming comments and innuendos about Thompson's second wife. They play the "Fred is a stud" game and guffaw about it.

I've warned FRedheads at least twice that it is unwise to do this. It isn't going to help Fred like they apparently think it is.

[DanielLongo]

I made no judgment other than she does look like she could be his daughter. I had never seen her before someone posted this thread. Was he married before? If so, divorced or widowed?

[finnman69]

Pictures taken from two years ago are off the table.

You think those pics wont be all over Jay Leno, Daily show, etc?

[trisham]

I know that there are men on FR who are lacking in maturity. So what?

[finnman69]

In that pic she looks like his wife, not his daughter. Fred even looks younger

I don't think they care, frankly.

[TommyDale]

"You think those pics wont be all over Jay Leno, Daily show, etc?"

Who cares? They are not offensive except to those people here trying to undermine Fred Thompson's candidacy already.

[trisham]

The important thing is that she is his wife. Whom he loves. Who loves him. They have two children. I realize he was previously married, but he's not Catholic.

Isn't marriage with children a trend we should be encouraging?

[Michael A. Velli]

Reason, the older me are more financially able to support her needs and their children.

Yes, but pecuniary needs aren't the only needs that a hot young 40-year old woman has. That's why old men who marry young women are inevitably cuckolded.

Haven't you read your Chaucer and Shakespeare? Happened then, happens now.

Married when he was 17. Divorced after 25 years of marrige. "Friendly divorce", no word on who initiated it. Remarried approximately 17 years after his divorce. (Yesterday, I had to look this all up. Today, it's fresh in my mind.)
