The MSM must be pulling their collective hair out: This is no Elizabeth Edwards or Hillary "Two for the price of one" Clinton. This is a lady.

Is this a thread that is useless w/o pictures?

Feel free...

Excellent Sunday morning reading.

Why is a mother of Mrs. Thompson’s means sending a 4 yr and a 1 yr off to school every morning?

I do appreciate the fact that the Thompson’s agree on pro-life and other political issues.

Get the kids to school? One's a little baby.
The 100% in his voting worries me a little too. I still have a lot of reservations about FDT, though he is certainly the best of the bunch.

Does anyone know when Sammy’s birthday is? I’ve heard him referred to as a 10-month-old for the past six months.

[BobS]

There was an article posted here some time ago about his old girlfriends. They all still like him and will support him. That is quite an accomplishment. Mine are mad at me.

"less than one year old?"...."getting the kids off to school?"

What grade is the "less than one year old" in, what are his grades, does he need a tutor, how are his chances for making the soccer team?

Grandpa and Jeri are so like many other above average income earners, having "trophy" children. Very sad.

Or it could be a typo.

[zerosix]

The term "school" a typo?

Even 4 year old's only attend "pre-school" NOT "school" and there is no such thing as "pre-school" for 10 month olds - there is only "day care" (a/k/a babysitters).

[basil]

It would seem to me that at the very least, they would have a full time nannie to see to the kids. Why on earth would they put them in day care? That doesn't even sound safe!

Maybe she was talking about a former time--does she have grown kids somewhere?

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

No, the word “kids.” Maybe she said get the kid to school. Singular.

[ejonesie22]

Seeing as how my wife and I both work, as well as other couples, day care is the only option. We often hear it refered to as “school”

I guess there are a lot of trophy kids by your standard.

Don’t look down your agenda is showing...

[socialismisinsidious]

When you send a 4 y.o. and 1 y.o. to “school” it’s called DAYCARE (yes even 4 y.o. “preschool”). To be honest with you I wish all the “ladies” would shut up already. I don’t want Elizabeth or Michelle OR Jeri running things in the white house.

[Mercat]

Mr. Mercat and I have started calling him my trophy husband.

[Bringbackthedraft]

We certainly are not dealing with a Britney Spears type mom here. What we have here is a beauty with brains. MSM may attempt to make her a bimbo, but I’m sure she’ll prove to be one tough cookie.

According to this source, their daughter was born in October 2003 and their son in November 2006; thus she’s 4 years old and he’s 11 months old.

Maybe she’s getting some other kids to school too. Who knows?
