He had a perfectly good family, that appears to have broken up because of his infidelity. He was admittedly an amoral Lothario between marriages.

I was not aware of the reason for the break-up of Fred Thompson's first marriage. Are you suggesting that his conduct afterwards has any bearing on what happened during that marriage? Do you have any other reason to suggest that Fred Thompson's first marriage broke up because of his infidelity?

If so, please produce it. If not, please reconsider your statement.

See the article titled “Tennessee Stud,etc.” which was circulating here a couple of days ago. When Fred’s first wife’s brother was asked whether the marriage broke up because of Fred’s fooling around, he said that Fred “took advantage of opportunities,” or words to that effect.
