In a startling admission, the wife of Fred Thompson, the Republican presidential contender, confessed last week that the “bone-crushing” pressure on candidates’ wives was like “walking down the street with no clothes on”. She was “terrified of embarrassing Fred”, she added. “It would break my heart.”

What's so startling about that admission? I'm sure all candidates' wives feel exactly the same. So this story is just another re-hash of the 'woman behind the man' nonsense they've been heaping on Jeri from the beginning. Interesting that we haven't seen any stories like this about Cindy McCain, Michelle Obama, Ann Romney, or any of the other wives.
