“didn’t JFK have one of these?”

‘No, she had the figure of a pre-pubescent boy.’

Yep, which goes a long way to explain the voluptuous Monroe as the bedmate.

are you kidding? Jackie was so popular that he used to introduce himself as “the guy who married Jackie”.

she was considered quite attractive, and definitely a trophy.

She was the very definition of a "trophy wife". An uber "trophy wife".

Jeri can play the “mother” card. Bill Clinton cannot do that, unless we add another word after it...

I can see that the Republicans have broken the "hot wife" barrier.

I'm sure Billy boy is thinking, "gee, I stuck with this beast and I could have had a "do over".

Ah, life is just too good.

Remember when they made a big deal about Billy Boy trying to shed some weight and what a great "runner" he was.....then Bush shows up and puts up some great numbers running and is in great shape...the MSM talks about Bush "wasting" his time working out.

The best revenge is to live well. The libs hate happy people, cause they are such pathetic whining pussies that the mere thought of self reliant, stoic, courageous men make them wet themselves and do the pee-pee dance.

Jackie was a skank but she had fantastic clothes.

It was pretty skanky, I agree, to marry Aristotle Onassis.

I'm no fashion maven, but you're right, Jackie did wear fantastic clothes in the sense that she always looked elegant and classy. Jackie also chose her clothes well to minimize her bowed legs.

That word "minimize" would be my one word of advice to Mrs. Thompson --if I were asked for advice (which I'm not, but here goes anyway).

She's a very pretty lady, but if she's going to help her husband run for the presidency, I think she'd do well to dress a little differently. Most American voters want their First Ladies to show modesty and class.

And part of the definition of "class" is that one doesn't make a display of one's assets.

She was a dog and a whore.

Remarks like that give Freepers a real bad name.

Some assets require more support than is consistent with ambient temperature.

I agree. The media has two different standards. Barbara Bush was a wonderful first lady but it was just sick the way the media went after her. And it’s sad that they still make fun of her today.

bleach blond hair

Funny, I don't remember this expression being used in 2000 to describe the hair of either Mrs. Clinton or Mrs. Gore. The MSM must have learned it since then. /s

Thompson may not even protest much, since he has embraced a certain smirking, one-of-the-boys-at-the-country-club quality – as evidenced by the quote about his single days above and such stunts as his video response to Michael Moore, complete with cigar.

Actually, what he said in response to Sean Hannity's question about how he felt about the press going after Jeri was that he had a visceral reaction at first, but then he realized that he had no control over what 'those bozos' in the press might write about him or Jeri.

I think he has the right attitude, and I hope he continues to answer that way, because he's right, they are a bunch of bozos, and their comments prove it.

It was considered quite a coup for JFK to marry Jackie. She was from a very old, once very rich, East Coast family. Gave the Kennedy's some measure of respectability.

Even though Joe, Sr. had been Ambassador to the Court of St. James, he still felt like he needed to 'prove' himself to the Boston Brahmins. He was bound and determined that one of his sons would be President to 'show' all those who had put the Irish down when they first arrived in this country. Joe Jr. was being groomed for that, but he died in the war, so John was the next in line. Having John make a 'good marriage' was one step in the journey to President. The fact that he was never faithful to her was ignored by the press in the 'Camelot' story, which was created and pushed by Jackie herself, according to a journalist at the time.
