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 Thompsons wife? CRAWFORD: Oh, yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: You think she thinks she works the pole?
CRAWFORD: Thats 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 aint Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
CRAWFORD: Well I would like to see him back into politics because I think hes a lousy actor.

You took my post the wrong way. I was asking the Rudy booster if Jeri and Fred had dated when he was married, like Rudy did with his latest wife.
My sincerest apologies dirtboy.
“Sorry, it is the same reaction that you have when you look at the photograph of them together. You do not get the same warm fuzzies elicited by a photograph of a married couple of similar ages.”
Well stated. It will cost him some votes and the opposition will milk it for all its worth, then some.
It will be part of his baggage for some voters. How many? Who knows.
You are correct, we do not know the circumstances of Thompson's first marriage. I was referring a more general sense to the practice that is seen among elites. Gingrich is accused of this with his first wife. Kerry didn't go for the younger wife, but many were those who passed judgement at FR on his second marriage.
Certainly - whatever the facts of the matter are, there's something unseemly about marrying someone younger than your children.
I bet Fred's Handlers do. That's why they will try to make her look more like his wife (not his daughter), and him look younger, like in this photo.
Of course. Let's get back to the point of this thread. Joe Scarborough is an idiot basically implying Fred's wife is a bimbette/stripper. Ignorant and dumb, but something you will hear again in the MSM.
He went for the Ketchup.
Someone else read it the way you did, so it's probably my bad - I wasn't clear enough.
Scarborough is just trying to keep his job. He has terrible ratings, so he just spews the venom that the libs at MSNBC want to hear.
I would be much more concerned if:
-Fred had met her when he was 45 and she was 20. As it is, she was a mature adult when they met and married, and he was an older mature adult.
-Fred had dumped his first wife for Jeri. As it is, Fred had been single for many years when he met and married Jeri.
-Jeri was an empty-headed bimbo. As it is, she is an accomplished lawyer and consultant who shares many interests with Fred...and also happens to be pretty and younger than he is.
I don’t discount your concern — I just don’t see it that way and neither does my 60-something mother.
I think they look very happy.
64/2 = 32
32 + 7 = 39.
Verdict: Acceptable age disparity.
Not only that, but a 35-year-old woman who is a lawyer is not a young gal who can be bamboozled by a much older man. The age difference is much less significant than the same gap with a woman who is 20.

Too bad dueling with pistols at sunrise is against the law. Scarborough is a nasty little pig.
Makes sense. Maybe he should first divorce, and then remarry her. Reset the clock, as it were.
