Ummmmm, the next article from the NYT will say that becasue the Thompsons have two small kids, it will be a distraction if he becomes president. ...”American mothers will turn away from him in droves because they know the pressure ob being president will prevent good parenting...”

Hillary's jealous, never been called Bill's trophy wife...

Hillary, a trophy? Nah, I doubt she's been mounted in over twenty years....

Fred is a stud. This is why the DEMS hate.

Funny there is no word from or about his first wife. What happen to her? Did she passed away or were they divorced.

I seem to recall reading that his ex-wife AND his former girlfriends all support him.

I wonder if the MSM would be willing to see what BJ's "former girlfriends" think of him... And publish it!

Might as well say "Political pundits yap on about completely tangential issues because they are vapid and shallow".

However, let at Republican have a young, attractive wife....

It's the "wife" part that is the problem with the left.
If she were some bimbo (and he a leftie), then it would again be "atta boy", and "private business".

The main problem seems to be with teenyboppers who are distressed to think that 70 year olds have an interest in sex.

Actually, I think that it's with teenyboppers who believe that 70 year olds only want to have sex with them... Not an attractive, intelligent, and accomplished 40 year old woman. And then there's just plain, old jelousy by the incredibly unattractive liberal women in the media, some of whom may not look too bad on the outside, but they just don't understand that true ugliness comes from deep inside... And on liberal women, it eventually bubbles to the surface, as proven by Helen Thomas and Susan Estrich. And no, I'm NOT going to post photos. I like my co-Freepers too much.

“A trophy wife like Jacqueline Bouvier.”

Usually it’s the much younger wife that comes after the first wife that get that identity. Even though he may have looked much older,particularly after a few years in the WH,Jack was only 12 years older than Jackie. Anyway,Jeri doesn’t qualify as a true trophy wife because Fred did not leave his first wife for her. This is all much ado about nothing.

I think if (when) Thompson enters this campaign, if his wife gets the chance to speak on his behalf, she's going to intellectually knock out the liberal press. they're so focused on a perceived "issue" that they aren't preparing for the obvious factors in her favor (and Fred's.)

Good point. All of this "trophy wife" talk simply sets the bar of expectations so low that when the public is introduced to Jeri for real, they'll have no choice but to be impressed by here.

As usual, the liberals wind up doing just the opposite of their stated intent...

I never heard word ONE about the age difference between Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson - it is 16 years. They have young children, too. The left are hypocrites.

Me married his first wife when he was 17 and she was pregnant with their first child (the old concept of "Doing the right thing").

He stayed married to his first wife until after all the kids were grown, then they had an amicable parting of the ways

Fred stayed single for many years, then met and married his current wife

Compare and contrast Senator McCain, who divorced the wife who stood by him while he was a POW, then married HIS much younger current wife the same year as his divorce (carrying the implication that perhaps he met wife #2 while still married to #1, and #2 was the motivation for the divorce)

Fred will be 65 next month. Lets not push him up to 70 yet.
By the way Hillary is only 5 years younger than him.

She looks like the typical wife of a movie star attending a movie star awards dinner in Hollywood.

No mystery; when in Rome.

"....I will admit I think the first lady should dress a little more modestly. I don’t think the girls should be on such prominent display. The dresses say Hollywood, not White House......"

Jeri does have the stuff and knows how to flaunt it....she's gorgeous.

But I agree with you, at some point she will have to start looking a little more like a "stately" lady. Too bad......
