How many wives Old Fred Thompson had?

[rurallib]

How many affairs? Besides the one kid that's draining the reserves, he got any other kids avoiding the military? In short is he basically in the same mold as all the others?

[onehandle]

1. He's the cool guy from Hunt for Red October and Die Hard 2!

And some teevee show.

Nothing else matters!

[seriousstan]

2. More than Edwards, less than Kucinich.

[orleans]

3. 2 wives--affairs? who knows?

In 1959, at the age of 17, he married Sarah Elizabeth Lindsey.

Thompson married Jeri Kehn on June 29, 2002, at First Congregational United Church of Christ, Naperville, Illinois, having first met her on July 4, 1996.<15> Kehn (born January, 1967)
snip
In October 2003, Fred and Jeri Thompson had their first child, Hayden Victoria Thompson. A second child was born to them in November, 2006.<11> Thompson also has two grown children and five grandchildren from his previous marriage, which ended amicably in divorce after 25 years. Thompson said his former wife, Sarah, indicated she would campaign for Thompson if he did run for president.

4. More than enough

[Tunkamerica]

5. Who cares?

You voting for him?

[rurallib]

7. Only in "the two guys named Thompson" poll

Tommy's kinda stupid.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. Yes, I think he is

and from some posts put here by people associated with the industry, apparently ol' Fred isn't well liked by the people in production--seems to think an awfully lot of himself, didn't come on set prepared, making everyone wait on him---all I can say is that long time L&O fans as a whole don't like him--and you'd think that would be one of his bases!

8. I don't know but I heard Stephanie Miller say his current wife

is barely past the zygote stage. That may not play well with Republican women of a certain age.

13. She's young enough to be his daughter. But she is still over 40, I think.

He's pretty old. Thing about her is...she's very flashy: bussomy, glittering dresses, bleached long hair, lots of makeup. Get the picture? But I'm sure they'll tone her down for campaigning.

[Poiuyt]

15. She was born January 1967

She's 40, he's 64.

[Auntie Bush]

18. Sounds like a Tammy Fay type to me!

[deadmessengers]

9. 1 more than Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Edwards, and Barack Obama

...or Mitt Romney, for that matter. But not as many as Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, or Rudy Giuliani. He's tied with John McCain and Ronald Reagan, though, although he's still young enough to pass'em.

[DemBones DemBones]

10. But his first wife says she'll campaign for him!!!

If you can believe Wikipedia, as quoted above. It also said they married when he was 17 and "divorced amicably after 25 years."

If he didn't dump wife #1 for wife #2, it shouldn't hurt him.

[rurallib]

11. You mean there is a kind of set of rules about that in the RW?

Good to know these things are regulated.

[DemBones DemBones]

22. No, I just mean that if a guy's divorced but his first wife

campaigns for him, it's bound to help overcome the negatives attached to divorce, no matter what party he's in.

It's also good if he didn't dump his first wife for his mistress. If Fred was married for 25 years, and got married at 17, that means they divorced when he was 42, long before he married the second wife.

[peaches2003]

24. HUH? That should be interesting

His 1st wife died in 1985.

[AlCzervik]

12. i only care if he runs on a "Family Values" platform, other than that it doens't matter to me.

[Ilsa]

14. I don't think he's belonged to enough churches to suit the

reich wing of the GOP.

[seaglass]

16. Romantically linked with Margaret Carlson in the past, not sure

if it's gossip or truth...

[ShortnFiery]

17. OMG, place a warning before posting THAT ...

The thought of Margaret Carlson and Fred Thompson bumping uglies is way too freaky for my sensitive constitution. :wow: :rofl: :scared:

[AlCzervik]

19. i just looked that up and there are tons of rumors but most of them claim

margaret was flying her freak flag for Fred but he wasn't interested.

[Erika]

20. Did he, DeLay, and Newt share the same squeezes

Sorry, I forgot about Rudi. Add him into the question.

[benddem]

21. according to Wikipedia

2 wives, 3 kids
(1) Sarah Elizabeth Lindsey (Knestrick), 1959–1985; div.
(2) Jeri Kehn, 2002–Present The fundies aren't going to approve of this one. She isn't exactly anyone's idea of a first lady.

[onenote]

23. you underestimate the fundies

If they like Fred, I doubt that they'll have any problem with his wife because of her appearance.
