A Fred Thompson presidential run is looking more and more likely, says DC columnist and political insider Robert D. Novak:
Close friends of Fred Thompson say his wife Jeri is urging him to take the plunge later this year and run for the Republican presidential nomination.
The former senator from Tennessee and current actor on "Law & Order," in private conversation, makes it clear that he is seriously interested in launching a candidacy that has attracted extraordinary attention over the last two weeks. However, he does not plan to announce his candidacy in the immediate future.
The major rap against Thompson is that he was not a hard worker during his eight years in the Senate. His friends respond that this is an easily correctable error and that the same complaint was made about Ronald Reagan before he ran for president.
Thompson's wife is Jeri Kehn, was a political media consultant at the Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, and McPherson law firm in Washington, D.C., when they married in 2002. She also previously worked for the Senate Republican Conference and the Republican National Committee.
Laughing at your own hypocrisy, eh? You're the one who made an issue of the age of Fred's wife and that the media would make hay of Fred's personal life, in which the problems PALE in comparision to Rudy's.

It's a mystery to me that anyone cares about it at all.
then why are you getting so upset about it? DOH! ROFLMAO!
That wasn't bad. Here's a hard one. 3 wives - Rudyesque or Newtish?
I despise hypocrites. Which is why I find you pathetic.
How much do you guys think she spends in plastic surgery?
Does the First Lady get her plastic surgeries paid for, or will Fred still have to pay for all that?
*sniff* do you want a tissue?
Very true
Nah, but it would be refreshing for you to display something remotely resembling intelligence, instead of sopping up JimRob's bandwidth with hypocritical posts that also infer that Thompson marrying a 36-year-old woman was an act of pedophilia.
call a waaaaambulance! LOL~
You're the one who whined about another poster on your home page.
I don't believe in divorce, but others do, and as a practical matter many good people have been divorced and remarried.
So while I do have private reservations about those who divorce, as a man I would never criticize Fred for marrying a hot, younger woman. Rather, kudos!
I like Newtish. :-)
Quit making flame-bait goading posts and I will.
Preach it brother.
I just got that too.
Spoken like a true man! Kudos to you!
I hope Middle America women embrace their new plastic fake boobie First Lady! I really do! What a role model for young girls everywhere!
I kid. ;)
