what happened to Ted Olson? Is he off with his new wife

[democrat in Tallahassee]

somewhere? Did he just drop off the face of the earth? I thought he was slotted for the Supreme Court. Curious, isn't it?

[Jara sang]

1. Why do they call him Theodore Ted Olson?

one or the other please.

[NewInNewJ.]

2. Who for God's sake

married himm?

[geek tragedy]

3. His clone got nominated to the SCOTUS. eom

[WMliberal]

4. he's waiting for Rehnquist to die so he can be nominated...

:eyes:

[Gemini Cat]

5. He's waiting in the wings for the next round of evil.

I, too, have wondered where he is.

[charlie]

6. He's planning a big surprise for his birthday

and everyone's invited. Born on September 11th...

7. He's got a new wife? That can't be!

Remember when Barbara was killed, and Ann Coulter wrote a big piece about what a wonderful love they had (she wrote some nastiness to the effect that the Clintons' marriage was just a hollow shell of what the Olsons' was.) I guess it's been more than three years, but it just seems odd.

9. 3 years, haw

This pic was making the rounds within 6 months of Barbara's death:

12. Words fail me

I don't know if it's the Saturday Night Fever look, the Pia Zadora lookalike escort, or the less-then-grieving widower look on his face.

13. If that's Olsen, he's lost about 30 years off his age. NT

[charlie]

14. Yeah, it's probably an old photo

Or some Grecian Formula and 70's Nite at some beltway dive. But there were gossip rag reports about him catting around months after Babs bit the big one.

Solicitor General Ted Olson, whose wife, conservative author Barbara Olson, died in the September 11 Pentagon plane crash, seems to be moving on. He's been dating Republican socialite Sydney "Nini" Ferguson, former companion of Sen. John Warner (R-Va.)

22. John Warner's former companion...

man, they pass their women around.

[fooj]

11. From what I understand he married within a YEAR of Barbara's death.

Yikes.

[devilgrrl]

16. More like a matter of months!

He got over Barbara's death really fast!

[fooj]

21. I knew it was under a year, but I wasn't sure...

thanks for that. Real grief-stricken hubby, huh?

[Throckmorton]

15. Sorry, but no high horse for me

My wife, who was the center of my universe, died in March 2004. I have been dating for nearly 6 months.

Do you think thats odd too?

[WoodrowFan]

17. no, it's not

people handle grief differently. I am sorry for your loss and am glad you found someone to date. I can't imagine how I'd handle it if my wife were to die and I don't think to right to judge others on how they handle it. Even a creep like Olsen.

[charlie]

18. You're not a Family Values Republican

If you dated a week afterward I wouldn't even be interested, let alone judgmental.

Ted Olson once went to court to challenge the constitutionality of a special prosecutor that was sicced on his ass. Later he was part of Starr's free-ranging dirt squad. If the tabloids are a-titter over his dating so soon after his 3rd wife's demise, I'm A-OK with that.

[LisaM]

19. No. I only spoke in reference to Ann Coulter's article

I am sorry for your loss (I remember when it was all going on, I think) and didn't mean anything other than Coulter's unnecessary reference to the Clintons when writing about Barbara Olson's death.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. I think it's odd.

You could have waited at least a year before you started dating. But that's just my opinion. You almost made it though.:-)

[UTUSN]

8. Shhh, Don't Invoke Him n/t

[kskiska]

10. Do you have a link as to remarriage?

Someone posted this once before, but with no reference.
