Meet Presidential Candidate Fred Thompson And His Trophy Wife
Does marrying a woman 24 years younger than yourself make you a creepy guy? No, being a creepy guy makes you a creepy guy.
Fred Thompson is one of the major Republican candidates making a bid to be the next President of the United States. As with all political contests, every aspect of a person's life is dragged out and paraded around for the world to judge.
Some might know Fred Thompson as a Tennessee Senator, and a regular for such popular TV shows like "Law and Order."
Here's what I know about Fred Thompson. He's been married twice, his second and current wife, Jeri Kehn Thompson, is 41. They've known each other since 1996, which means they "met" when she was 30 and he was 54. They have two young children.
Fred Thompson is pro-life, doesn't consider crimes targeting gays as hate crimes, doesn't want gay marriage or affirmative action for women or minorities. He's all for greater penalties on drug-related crimes, supports funding for abstinence programs in schools. He's no fan of the environment, he loves guns, thinks American's should continue to pay more for health care, immigrants are ok if they are doing unskilled, manual labor, he's opposed to raising the minimum wage and last, but not least, he completely agrees with President Bush's policy in Iraq.
On a more positive note, he gets points for supporting the death penalty on violent crimes!
So the real question isn't whether his much younger wife is a "trophy wife," but rather, do we really need another "compassionate" conservative? And by compassionate, he means "F U blacks, gays, women, Mexicans, old people, poor people and middle-class people."
Schweet! And no, I am not a bleeding heart liberal. In fact, I kind of like Mitt Romney, even though he's a Morman.
