Jeri Thompson: ‘I was never an older-man-dater kind of girl’ (People mag interview)
The Examiner via Drudge Report ^ | October 3, 2007 | Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin

Forty-one-year-old Jeri Thompson, the subject of much rumor and innuendo since her 65-year-old husband Fred began mulling a presidential run, says she’s never been “an older-man-dater kind of girl.”

Speaking to People magazine in her first interview since her husband declared his candidacy, she recalls being initially attracted by Fred’s passion for a campaign finance investigation.

Of the allegations that she’s a “trophy wife,” she says it’s “hard not to be defensive” when she thinks back on how hard she’s worked. “I almost think they had to fabricate that trophy-wife stuff because there’s nothing interesting to say,” she said.

The People story, which hits newsstands this Friday, might help her dispel that notion. It opens with her in “sweatpants … her fingernails ragged from stripping wallpaper … her Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring is soaking in a bowl somewhere to cleanse it of diaper rash cream ‘slime.’”

Good Deal, Once Thompson does his first debate and introduces himself and his ideas to the American Public it should really be fun......:*)

May I be the first to say, out of all the potential First Ladies, she is by far the best looking, especially next to Bill. ;)

No Question, I just get a really good feeling about the campaign, most of America is not paying attention right now, especially to the GOP Debates.

I have one question to all possible first ladies.

Will you go to a foreign country and give away newly printed American dollars?

I hated it when Hillary did it and was badly disappointed when the Mrs. Bush did about the same!

Looks like I’ll be buying the next issue of People mag, unless I can get this on-line. Thanks for posting this.

that “trophy wife” crap should be turned around an she should yell to the highest microphone.. Fred is a “trophy Husband” My wife calls me a trophy husband.. age difference 15 years....

I always said it took a real woman to catch a trophy husband. “ I like the feeling” Think Fred does also. I feel and act her age, We also had two kids late in life.. gotta love it. Keeps you active and unable to feel sorry for yourself..

Counting down to the arrival of the Romney Sleaze Patrol on a thread like this is useless, because they usually beat me to it.

My dad is 74. His wife (my step-mom) is 50. They’ve been married 20 years and appear to be extremely happy. And, she’s got nearly as much money as he has. My mother died in ‘79.

My wife tells her friends I’m a trophy husband: “When there’s work to do, he stands around like a trophy.”

One thing is for sure, she will continue the level of class which exists in the White House today.
She's gonna make a terrific First Lady.

Those are much better pictures. The picture FoxNews.com is displaying with the article makes her look just like a trophy wife. Fox is becoming more MSM-like all the time.

There’s a gossip blind item that one of the presidential contenders returned home to catch his wife in the act with another man. The blogs are abuzz that its Jeri, or Rudy’s woman.

If a woman with two little kids, one in diapers, has time for a quickie, bless her heart; but I don’t think so.
