Is there a “correct” way to be a wife?

EIther a woman is pretty and therefore a trophy wife, or she is criticized for being ugly and therefore “wears the pants (or pantsuit)” in the family.

I’d like to see the “rules” for what a candidate’s wife is supposed to be.

Where are the NOW nags? Aren’t thry upset that an accomplished woman is being reduced to a sexual object?

Oh, that’s right. Jeri is a Republican, so she deserves to be disrespected./s/

The thrust of the story is that she is a brainless hottie that Thompson only grabbed up because she is great arm candy.

Not to demean Jeri or anything, but she is great arm candy.

She's like 100 times hotter than Tipper Gore.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Bill is Hillary trophy wife. He’s the smart better looking one. She’s a DC bar failure (Anita Hill passed, Hillary failed). She failed at her “health”care crusade. She failed to bring the jobs she promised to NY. But for Bill, Hillary would be a suspected lesbian no-body shrill.

Rather see Jeri as a trophy wife, than Bill Clintons wife as a trophy pig! One thing is for sure, Fred better keep Bill the hell away from his wife!

well, the upside could be that the more they do this, the more the public is aware of her and while they’re looking and listening, our side can point out her accomplishments

This is one of those cases where I think NewsBusters sometimes has to look too hard for something to post. The story is about Jeri’s first long-format solo interview, and they mention the “trophy wife” slur because she mentioned it.

Uhmmm... I hate to be catty, however, standing next to his wife, Dennis Kucinich looks like the shelf trophy.

Maybe if Bill Clinton had had a trophy wife, he wouldn’t have been such a philanderer.

>>And it won’t be completely unusual to have a president with a much younger wife, either. Columnist Gary North reminds us that Frances Folsom Cleveland was 27 years younger than President Grover Cleveland, and that Julia Gardiner Tyler was 30 years younger than President John Tyler.<<

1. I don’t care how old Fred’s wife is. I care a lot more about how old the candidates are. Ron Paul at 77 by the end of a first term is an age issue.

2. Grover Cleveland and women is a not a comparison you want to make.

Jeri’s no trophy wife, but she’s certainly a prize.
And quite a SURprise when she speaks ~ smart, gracious, sincere.

Her public appearances will dispel the stupid rumors.
She’s mature, graceful and lovely and will be a wonderful First Lady44.
