Fred Thompson: October 2007 Archives
Senior Editor at The New Republic, Michelle Cottle, wrote an article profiling Jeri Thompson, wife of GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson. Jeri gets a lot of attention in the press for being attractive, blonde, and 24 years younger than her husband. Cottle portrays Jeri as a woman who always has a strategy (and the ability to execute it) to get what she wants, whether that be a man, a job, a hot handbag or a fly shoe. Ain't nothing wrong with that. 
Cottle also offers a peek into the more "soap opera like" aspects of the Thompsons' life together, such as Fred's womanizing, Jeri's public battles with his other girlfriends in the gossip columns, Jeri's financial difficulties, and Jeri's past either living with or being married to (no one is sure) another man.
Drama.
Yeah, we saw the Republican debate last night. First we watched Romney and Giuliani have a few catfights, and then we watched paint dry Fred Thompson say a few words.
MSNBC's Maria Bartiromo (go girl!) and Chris Matthews moderated.
USA Today ran a story today about Jeri Thompson's "debut" as a potential first lady. Thompson gave her first interview to Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel last night. She appeared with her husband (who did most of the talking) and their two children. Watch below.
