Is America ready for a president with a trophy wife, The Times asks.

This comes from a paper that defended a President having extra-marital relations with an intern.

Nice puff piece on Thompson. I really think Jeri's age is a non-issue. Were I to vote for a hot first lady, I'd be supporting Kucinich.

But the story of how they met seems to be like the revisions people invariably used to get when Hollywood did a biopic. First, according to Wikipedia, via a Washington Post article, they met at a fourth of July event in 1996. Second, Jeri was a political consultant for a Washington, D.C. law firm. Do you really believe that Thompson simply picked her up at a grocery store without her recognizing the senator/actor at sight? As Fred would say, when he is impersonating a good ole boy and driving that red pickup for a couple of blocks before it gets put back on a lift and he climbs into his limosine, "That dog won't hunt".

I saw part of the family interview Thompson did, and they make a great couple. Plus with the children it was a picture of an obviously happy family. I really really really hope he gets the nomination as I feel he would win nationally and be very good for the country.

She is an attractive woman - no more so than many women. I guess what is unusual is that most politician's wives are not that good looking. But Mitt Romney has a good looking wife. Laura Bush is good looking too.

This dress was a mistake though. She looked like she was wearing lingerie. She won't make that mistake again.

(Nobody is going to mistake him for George Clooney. )

Yes, I have to agree. Fred is much more intelligent looking.

Perhaps it is the content of Thompson’s character. The left is is shallow and cannot get past appearances.

Just another tell from the bigoted left.

trophy wife? Fred's response to that was “NO, no ,no, I’m the trophy husband.” Chuckle, chuckle.

She may be younger and pretty but she was a professional and made quite a bit of money as a lobbiest. The lobbiest part is what scares me.

I married my trophy wife 20 years ago. she had a great job, makes more than me and like shaving me around. Does that make me a trophy husband? YEEEEHAAAA!

Many women use color in their hair

Is the white house ready for a trophy wife? She is his wife and the mother of his children. Should she go all ugly on him? I think not. She is young, pretty, speaks very well and so I think the four of them should be traveling around the country talkling to people, day care centers and being out on the town together. She can give hillereee a run for her money just in photos alone.

“Is America ready for a president with a trophy wife, The Times asks.”

What exactly do they think Jackie Kennedy was?

We know a few basic things about her:

1- She was born into money.
2- She was absolutely beautiful.
3- Her husband played the field.

Mrs. Thompson would not be the first pretty wife ever to be married to a president.

However, she may be more in the mold of a Nancy Reagan, who had a lot to say. I think she scares the media.

met her at a supermarket in 2000

If Fred does his own shopping, that would be a very positive sign.

I watched the video of Fred Thompson and his wife Jeri. It was very good. She is well spoken and has a head on her shoulders. She is intelligent and very dignified not to mention the class she has.

However, I would NOT refer to her as a hot babe. I think sounds disrespectful. She deserves a better name than that. She is very lovely and looks to me like she would make a very gracious First Lady of our Country.

I think the people that make fun of Fred Thompson and his young wife are just jealous. So he has a young wife? What’s their problem? clintin had girlfriends. Thompson has a wife and children.
