The Rise Of Jeri Thompson: Ex-Senator's Wife Is Helping to Shape His Probable Bid

The Washington Post ^ | August 5, 2007 | Alec MacGillis and John Solomon

Let's see: "Trophy wife" and "controlling, scheming bitch" didn't work, so now they're working on painting Mrs. Thompson as a "deadbeat and social climber", or am I misreading this? Notice that this is on the FRONT PAGE of the SUNDAY Washington Post? Are the dems/MSM really this frantic already? If they fear Fred at this stage of the game (i.e., an undeclared candidate with "only" $3.5 million), what will they do or say once he declares his candidacy? Hillary knows this is probably her only shot at the White House...

I really don't know what to say about this...

So a former politico is running a politician's Presidential campaign?

I am sure that that has never happened before.

[Clemenza]

Compare Jeri’s class with that disgusting, social climbing, coal cracker whore that is married to Rudy sometime. Fred is a lucky man, IMHO.

I enjoyed the article. It was informative...they did some digging! IMO overall it was positive compared to many MSM hatchet jobs.

Hillary must have cleavage envy ;)

It was a triumphal return for Kehn, who had left Naperville for college and spent much of her 20s biding her time in Nashville without a clear career path, living with a boyfriend......

I think you'll see more articles with this included to see if it sticks to the wall...

I need to know more about Mr Thompson, so he's not out, but I'm not voting for any man based upon his wife's influence, from any party. I will vote for one based upon his wife's lack of influence. I have seen too many wives of supposedly "conservative" men influence them away from conservative stances on an issue. Women tend to be less conservative,generally speaking, and on matters that are important to me. I'm a woman, and I know whereof I speak. I need to know more.

Jeri is a hottie. SPANK! Hillary, in her prime, never made it to luke-y.

[W04Man]

SHE MAY BE SMART & GOOD LOOKING
BUT SHE IS ALSO A LOVING MOTHER TO THEIR CHILDREN! THAT'S WHAT I SAW IN DC LAST WEEK AND I CAPTURED IT IN THIS PICTURE.

What hypocrisy by the Washington Compost!

Wow - Thompson's wife had a boyfriend, and probably had sex before marriage!

That is the dark, detestable, awful sin they cast upon her in the opening of this hit piece.

In 1991 - the Washington Compost went AFTER anyone who even REMOTELY pointed out Hillary Rob'em Clinton's suitcase history of unbelievable lawbreaking, intimidation, malfeasance, and illegal acts.

Jeri vs sHillary.......2012?

[codercpc]

Classy post.

[Oldexpat]

More pictures please..let’s make Jeri the pinup girl for this election.
Jeri in 0016.

[theBuckwheat]

Only the Beautiful People have trophy mates. The fact that the Left keeps regurgitating this story in various forms indicates how much Thompson worries them

[Graymatter]

They set the tone quickly: Fred and Jeri married in an “unventilated” church. You KNOW you’re reading a hit piece.
Then the linked site has pdf’s for her car accident and a medical bill; somebody’s really digging desperately.
Conclusion: They fear the Fred. :)

I hope that isn't an accurate description of Rudy's wife. If so, that description fits enough folks that Rudy should have this election in the bag.

Heh. Reminds me of a common Freeper response to Ron Paul. =]

It was a triumphal return for Kehn, who had left Naperville for college and spent much of her 20s biding her time in Nashville without a clear career path, living with a boyfriend whose main claim to fame was getting arrested in Red Square for unfurling a pizza-parlor banner in the last days of the Cold War. Kehn left three court judgments behind her in Nashville, one of which remains unpaid today, and a court twice garnished her wages.

Comment:

As I have said before there is no limit on how low the WAPO will go to mar a candidate and his spouse.

The muckdiving of the WAPO seems to fit their Democrat biased sewer mentality very well.

The liberal media has no ethical rules and it really permeates throughout the entire country.

One person directly familiar with the campaign ....

Biggest load of huey I've read in the mainstream anti-Republican press since .... yesterday.

Seriously, I'M "directly familiar with the campaign" for heavens sake.

Find me ONE, just one credible source, one FACT which validates this "wife running the Thompson campaign" baloney.

There are none. This is all innuendo, antedoctal claptrap from a slanted reporter who is trying to smear a GOP candidate ahead of his likely announcement for Prez.

“In 1991 - the Washington Compost went AFTER anyone who even REMOTELY pointed out Hillary Rob’em Clinton’s suitcase history of unbelievable lawbreaking, intimidation, malfeasance, and illegal acts.”

The absolutely silver lining to this hitpiece on Jeri is that it opens up Hillary’s sordid affairs to scrutiny.
