LOL!

The presidential campaign is heating up. Thankfully, our press is focusing on important issues, such as Fred Thompson's wife.
As it goes, Thompson, who had been divorced 20 years, met her at a supermarket in 2000. She is 24 years his junior, but something clicked.
He carried her groceries to her car. She invited him to a party. They married in 2002 and now have two children.
And now, according to The New York Times Fashion & Style section, Thompson's young wife is spurring debate in Internet chat rooms, cable television and talk radio. Is America ready for a president with a trophy wife, The Times asks.
She's got a permanent tan, after all. Her hair is bleached blond. Her 41-year-old youthfulness contrasts mightily with the grandfatherly nature of her 65-year-old husband.
The question on everyone's mind: Will social conservatives -- those fuddy-duddy moral-values types -- turn away from Thompson because his second wife is a babe?
As is often the case with our media, they got it backward. MORE people will support Thompson because of his wife.
Look, Thompson has a balding noggin. His mug is pale, haggard and woebegone. Nobody is going to mistake him for George Clooney.
Yet the old fellow persuaded a young blonde in a supermarket to 1) ask him out, 2) marry him and 3) have two kids with him. This fellow could talk Ahmadinejad out of his nuclear ambitions.(continued)

Perhaps it is the content of Thompson’s character. The left is is shallow and cannot get past appearances.
Just another tell from the bigoted left.
LOL!
She may be younger and pretty but she was a professional and made quite a bit of money as a lobbiest. The lobbiest part is what scares me.
I married my trophy wife 20 years ago. she had a great job, makes more than me and like shaving me around. Does that make me a trophy husband? YEEEEHAAAA!

His really hot babe is not yet five years old.
Ok who you really rather she her giving White House tours on TV (ala Jackie Kennedy) or alternatively, Bubba?
If that's who he is, isn't it okay that she found that appealing, among many other things? Should she have shunned him for those reasons?
Dude, that just sounds petty.
I believe the photo (post 24) just below your post pretty much says a lot!
I won’t be voting for Mrs. Thompso, but it’s good to know that she seems to be a good person. The fact that she’s a beauty is just a bonus.
Can you prove that?
Conservative Women are Hot, Hot, Hot and Liberal Women are Not, Not, Not!

I suggest you consult an oncologist as soon as possible. You might have brain cancer.
Many women use color in their hair
Is the white house ready for a trophy wife? She is his wife and the mother of his children. Should she go all ugly on him? I think not. She is young, pretty, speaks very well and so I think the four of them should be traveling around the country talkling to people, day care centers and being out on the town together. She can give hillereee a run for her money just in photos alone.

AND...I thank the Almighty for that favor!!!!!
We need more of these sweet kinds of family photos.
“Is America ready for a president with a trophy wife, The Times asks.”
What exactly do they think Jackie Kennedy was?
We know a few basic things about her:
1- She was born into money.
2- She was absolutely beautiful.
3- Her husband played the field.
Mrs. Thompson would not be the first pretty wife ever to be married to a president.
However, she may be more in the mold of a Nancy Reagan, who had a lot to say. I think she scares the media.
