Political pundits debate Fred Thompson's younger wife

Why this is an issue at all is beyond me.

If Scarborough really compared Mrs Thompson to a stripper then maybe Fred should confront him about that.

While Fred is not what most would consider “classically handsome,” he sure seems to have some charisma that attracts younger women. Maybe this is what scares the Dems the most. ;)

She looks good for someone who is 7 or 8 months pg, as she was in that picture.

It’s not like Giuliani where he married his cousin ;-)

Looks like the “Reader’s Digest” condensed version of the frap and lies that have floated around the media for the last two weeks. Oh, and the author seems to be saying that the AP thinks that a ‘trophy wife’, who is the second or third young wife of some corporate dude is usually a women who is as ‘equally important’ as he? WRONG. A trophy wife is usually ‘eye candy’, and Marla Maples and Anna Nicole Smith are perfect examples of that.

I have posted previously that Jeri is very demurely dressed on the campaign trial. She had on a black sweater and skirt, not tight and not revealing. I saw them both up close at a Bedford, NH, fundraiser last month.

Actually, the photo was taken at the Bloomberg News party after the White House Correspondents' Dinner April 29, 2006, in Washington.

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.

According to U.S.News&World Report's "Washington Whispers",

...in preparation for Thompson's early July entry into the race, Jeri suggested to friends that she might "frump it up," to which Fred barked a "Hell no."

He’s got a hot young wife. This is supposed to be a bad thing?

[trisham]

This is supposed to be a bad thing?

Only to Giuliani and Romney supporters, for the most part.

Political analysts widely regard Fred Thompson as a potential, if not likely, candidate in the United States presidential election in 2008.

Do yourself a favor:
Funny stuff

[trisham]

Oy! :)

I like Fred.

[Valin]

I like him also, but I hurt muself laughing.

[trisham]

The frame of him sleeping was pretty funny.

At least Thompson’s penis still functions, unlike Rudy Giuliani’s.

[I still care]

He should know better. Look at the dress she is wearing in post 22. It looks like lingerie. Now that was the style for a while - to wear sexy underwear in public - but I know a lot of people think it a trashy look, old and young.

The dems are masters of character assassination. You can bet they are putting together a campaign to imply she is a slut. It’s already beginning. And she needs to put the lingerie in a drawer. Fred’s been in Hollywood too long.

Television commentator and former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough compared Kehn to a stripper and asked if "she works the pole."

He did, did he? My respect for Scarborough has sunk even lower.

[sauropod]

Anyone fool enough to vote for a minimum wage increase, to vote for McCain-Feingold, and to push Lamar Alexander—and then John McCain—for President simply cannot be a constitutionalist conservative.

I agree!

[Lazamataz]

Bill Clinton, at 50 some-odd years old, breaks his wedding vows and nails a 19 year old - for a more than 30 year age gap..

Fred Thompson WEDS a woman who's 25 years younger. MARRIES her.

And guess who the press pillories.

A revolution cannot come fast enough.

I want to see heads on pikes.

[sauropod]

I had to read that a few times to get what you were saying.

The first time, I thought you were saying his wife was 14 when he married her.
