But hey, if it has any chance of hurting her husband with women in the polls, we're going to play along!
BTW, I’ve only seen one picture of Mrs. T, any FReepers have any others? You know, just so I can better understand the point of the article. =)
I know trophy wives and this occasion does not apply. I suspect
major jealousy by the DemocRAT bearded women.
I must support Darkwolf377’s post above. It is very hard to understand this article without any visual evidence.
:)
Ah, the media is jealous. They just can’t stand an older Republican with a young wife. Now if it is Hollyweird that’s okay and if it’s a demorat that’s okay too. But a Republican? Maybe it’s because the Republicans have good looking ones and the demorats have those that look like Cindy Sheehan or Helen Thomas.
To me, HTML is an abbreviation for Hotmail, so someone else will have to post photos. BTW, there’s a good picture if you click thru to the article... ;-)
No trophy husband stereotype? I guess they made that "How to Marry a Millionaire" movie before this writer was born.
Always good to see journalists applying the "women and children hardest hit" angle to a story.
Does this mean Hillary Rotten Clinton is Bubba’s trophy wife?
SHRILLARY! is the booby prize.
Wow, what a nasty hitpiece disguised as journalism. Ranks right up there with “have you ever been caught beating your wife?”
Yes, the term “tropy wife” is definitely demeaning to women, and so discussions of this issue should be immediately illegalized.
In fact, the phrase “tall, intelligent, attractive woman a decade or two younger than her huaband” is likewise demeaning to women everywhere, and thus must not be allowed in polite discourse.
Anna Nicole Smith? What kind of a trophy was she?
It is for those readers that do NOT know him that these articles are aimed at. Those people who do not follow politics very closely, especially so many months away from the election.
Follow the link to the actual article. The title is "Blond and Beautiful" along with a photo showing Fred and Jeri together. Someone could easily see that article and read it not really caring about the election and come away with a negative opinion of Fred, without knowing anything about his politics.
This article is carefully crafted to not come out and actually say Jeri is a trophy wife... the article just repeats what other articles have claimed.
Just look at the first line of the article. Is not one of the first rules of journalism (though what does journalism have to do with ABC?) to make your point early in the article? Many people will only read the first few lines of an article to decide if they wish to read on. If all they read is "Stripper." "Bimbo." "Permanently tan." after looking at the picture, just what kind of opinion will the reader, who doesn't know Fred, have? Very likely negative. Maybe not. But all it takes is a few swing voters, which of course, is what matters.
That is why the mainstream media is all over this right now... it is something that they feel will gain some traction against Fred.
Don't forget, the liberal media doesn't have to tell the truth to make a point with the public... they just have to make it sound good and repeat it over and over again. It is right out of the Goebbels playbook.
Personally, I think it will be awesome when there are little kids living in the White House again.
No matter, even liberal Dims in TN like Thompsom, because he is likeable guy. These attacks won’t make a difference.
Will ABC report on these athletes' trophy wives? ...never.
We don’t watch TV News so we have never seen a picture of Mrs. Thompson,
I wonder if the Thompsons are planning on having children?
