Given the way we love our lovable rogues, I think that Fred Thompson’s life between his marriages will work more for him than against him. I am not defending it, but it would be silly to deny it.
As for the statement of his former brother in law, you are reading into it more than I do. I do not agree with your assertion that that statement pretty much confirms marital infidelity. An implication, perhaps, but not a confirmation.
An implication in that context is a confirmation. If it weren’t true, he would have said so. He didn’t want to lie.
BTW, your tagline makes me laugh. I AM a strong woman. I don’t support Hillary because she is a Marxist dyke.
