Fred Thompson's daughter is hot!

[johncoby2]

Woo-hoo!

[acmavm]

1. Very funny.

[Deja Q]

2. Wow. Just wow!

[SharonAnn]

89. But, But, but why is she wearing a nightgown?

[GreenPartyVoter]

92. That was my question as well

[Richard Steele]

109. She has no idea it's inappropriate, because no one has ever complained, if you know what I mean. nm

[originalpckelly]

3. He's got what I call a daughterwife.

A wife that could be his daughter.

[Bitwit1234]

29. In all seriousness

Just look at that woman, she is very very young and does look as if she could even be his grand daughter. The thing is what does she see in a man that much older, except to be close to power and money.

And take another look at the two of them together--a woman that much younger only tends to make him look a heck of a lot older doesn't it.

[frylock]

31. who know$ what $he might $ee in him?

[pork medley]

43. maybe he's got a great personality?

[kskiska]

69. Maybe the $ame thing Larry King'$ wive$ have $een in him.

[frylock]

81. dude can pull the women to be sure

[Bucky]

118. In all seriousness, no. She's in her early 40s. If you want to see a pol who married a granddaughter

Google "Kucinich". Or better yet, don't worry about who other people marry.
.

[Lurking Dem]

127. Well said! nt

[Critters2]

4. Wow. How did that happen? nt

[deutsey]

5. That's his granddaughter, isn't it? n/t

[CJCRANE]

25. My thoughts exactly n/t

[geek_sabre]

6. So one thread degrading a grown woman wasn't enough?

What party is this??

[originalpckelly]

7. Yeah, I don't know if it's degrading a grown woman or a dirty old man.

[mitchum]

34. Nicely done

:)

[onenote]

133. who else is on your list of dirty old men?

Kucinich? Kennedy? Conyers?

Older politicians marrying younger women is not a partisan thing.

[Deja Q]

12. What's wrong in acknowledging her beauty?

The OP had made any crude remarks.

[geek_sabre]

16. referring to his wife as his daughter isn't degrading??

[Deja Q]

19. Great jumping gerbils, she is his WIFE?!

:wow:

The dude said she was his daughter.

Oh dear, he lied didn't he?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

30. say what? that's NOT his daughter or granddaughter?

shirley you jest.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

36. Wait, Fred Thompson married his daughter?

I know he's a republican, but isn't that going a little far?

[originalpckelly]

86. AHAHAHA!

:rofl:

[Bucky]

115. In the right context, it could be a compliment.

But this is obviously more of a dig than a compliment. It maybe looked less creepy when they hooked up ten years ago.

[johnnie]

13. What's degrading?

She obviously is dressed up in that picture to look attractive. She is younger than he is. I'm lost.

[wtmusic]

Because she looks so young!

:crazy: Er, I mean she looks as old as he does! :scared:

[brentspeak]

57. What 'party' is this?

So far, the only people who have shown up on DU to make sweeping generalized comments about the Democratic party based on the anonymous postings posted here have turned out to be people not exactly here with honest intentions.

[Az]

8. Why is this relevant? Or is this the best we can do?

You going to go after Kucinich next? He has a tall hot young wife. Go gettem.

[mitchum]

9. Watch out! The hall monitors who want to define "progressive" for you...

will be showing up very soon

[Deja Q]

17. Aw man! Can I ask the question?

Why should he be left alone when everyone else is hit with the "Are you progressive enough?" bat? :evilgrin:

[mitchum]

33. I had a shrill one inform me over and over last night...

that criticizing her fasion sense wasn't a progressive value. It was this very dress. C'mon, don't you think that's a bit too tacky to be worn by someone who presumably knows better?

[Deja Q]

46. Not at all. Mind you,

if it complements the person, what's tacky? (apart from the ensembles Britney Spears is known for, and that gown is way too elegant...)

[mitchum]

62. That gown and the the way it fits seems to be more approriate for the AVN Awards...

rather than the DC formal event where she wore it

[onenote]

132. aww, is pubbles still upset about the two posts on this subject

maybe pubbles should get counseling.

Love.
The Shrill One.

[mitchum]

135. Hello scOLD

[Az]

18. Ha! Beat you already

Sorry but this isn't PC crap. This is just calling stupid stupid.

[mitchum]

24. Do you have any problem with "rapacious gold digger"?

Do you honestly think she is physically attracted to that piece of shit?
Or is she in love with his mind? His love for humanity?

[mitchum]

26. Delete: posted in wrong spot

[Clark2008]

47. In this case, yes, I do, considering Jeri Thompson

is an attorney and a political media consultant at the Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, and McPherson law firm in Washington, D.C. and a former Senate Republican Conference and Republican National Committee employee.

She didn't need his money.

[mitchum]

65. Fred was a lobbyist for a looooooooong time...

I wager that he's got a lot more socked away than Jeri

Your faith in true love is...touching

[Clark2008]

88. Actually, I don't care if theirs is a marriage of love, convenience

or sandwiches.

What I found offensive is that an attractive woman is automatically a "gold digger." How can one who has her own gold be a gold digger?

[mitchum]

100. Actually, she's not attractive except for in that "pro" kind of way...

Vegas, Tahoe...y'know

Since we are talking about "gold", would you be willing to make a little wager? I contend that Fred has a lot more gold than she. A lot.

Remember this: we cynics are never unpleasantly surprised.

[Clark2008]

116. LOL - no.

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all; therefore, I never bet. It's a waste of my money.

But, I don't even think she looks like a "pro." I hope my figure goes back to looking that good after I have this 9-pounder on Friday. I already had a 10-pounder eight years ago.

:hi:

[mitchum]

124. Fair enough :)

You may feel that you have no luck, but your little ones are indeed fortunate :)

[DKRC]

79. As "a former Senate Republican Conference and Republican National Committee employee"

then she's accustomed to old Repukes pawing at her.

[mitchum]

104. LOL!!! Indeed (n/t)

[Fridays Child]

10. She'd better elevate her neckline. The fundies wouldn't like a First Hussy.

[Bucky]

117. Just like they won't like a divorced ex Hollywood actor. Or a coke-addled scion of the Bush family.

The fundies will fall in line behind whatever Gantry comes along and mouths the right pieties at them. Some are already lining up behind Giuliani and Romney, despite their liberal track records. You know why? Because they're being told to.
.

[Fridays Child]

134. They can studiously ignore those things. It's not the same as...

...in-your-face cleavage. Imagine if Michelle Obama went to a public event in a revealing evening gown, or if Laura Bush dressed like Thompson's wife. The talking heads and their "Concerned Women for America" guests would squawk, ad infinitum. I guarantee it. It's not that they don't have a keen appreciation of the erotic or the lurid. They love it, in fact, but only behind closed doors, where such "forbidden pleasures" belong, as the many, many "Family Values" party's scandals have demonstrated.

[onenote]

130. and you obviously don't know much about the fundies

[MyNameGoesHere]

11. one man's hot is another man's

wtf?

[Zywiec]

14. Wow, and I thought Kucinich had a hot daughter

[Gman]

40. Kucinich's wife is a very pretty, even beautiful woman

Thompson's wife is hot! Big difference.

[Pastiche423]

55. Dennis and Elizabeth take such beautiful pictures together

[Missy Vixen]

60. Of course, I'm sure I'll be upbraided for this

I'm not nuts about guys who marry women half their ages. It tells me they can't get along with a woman who either has enough money to not be subservient, or who has ideas of her own. IMHO, YMMV.

AT THE SAME TIME, I think Mrs. Kucinich is a lady. One does not see her in public dressed inappropriately, she seems to be very in love with her husband, and if it was a choice as to whom would make the better First Lady, my money's on the naturally beautiful and elegant Elizabeth Kucinich.

Julie

[pnwmom]

66. I would agree with everything you said.

Except I heard Elizabeth Kucinich has a stud ring in her tongue.

Please let that not be true.

[jaysunb]

80. It's not true..

at least she didn't have one in when I met her last month. I stood talking w/ her and Dennis for about half an hour and I never saw signs of that.
She IS very pretty and rather shy, with a good sense of humor.

[NYCGirl]

84. She does, in fact. she jokes about it:

At first sight, the couple stands out. She's tall; he's short. She's in her late 20s; he's in his sixties. She has a tongue ring, the congressman does not.

"Attention: Welcome to the next generation. The woman who has a tongue ring and wears pearls," Elizabeth Kucinich joked about her accouterment of nine years.

http://news.aol.com/elections/president/story/_a/kucinichs-secret-weapon/20070525135109990001

[Missy Vixen]

87. Am I the only woman in America

that just does not get the tongue piercing thing? Seriously. I realize I'm older than dirt and Truly Boring as a result, but I could barely get my ears pierced, let alone piercing anywhere or anything else.

To each his (or her,) own, I guess.

Julie

[pnwmom]

93. I think there are few women over 40 who have their tongues pierced.

Or can imagine why anyone would want to.

[blogslut]

106. 46 here

Had mine since 1997.

Why? Rite of passage I guess. I wanted something to symbolize a change in my life. Tatoos were too painful-too permanent. Belly rings and eyebrow studs were just going too far. So, I got a tongue stud. I'm so used to it now, sometimes I forget I have t.

[pnwmom]

107. Interesting. But how many other women do you know with them?

Neither of my sisters or my daughter could manage to keep their pierced earrings, because of reoccurring infections. I'm amazed that anyone can manage this in their mouth.

[blogslut]

111. Once it's healed, it's no big deal

As for while it's healing, Listerine, baby. Swish swish spit. Took about three days for the swelling to go down. I did the religious Listerine swishing for about two weeks.

PS: I never was one to hang out with the other moms. I have very little in common with the ladies in my town.

[Lurking Dem]

131. I have a navel ring and 2 tats.

I'm 45. The first tat I got when I was 30. The second I was 37ish and the belly ring was in between that.

I'm thinking of a third tat.

And I have an older husband who I wouldn't trade for the world.

[hiaasenrocks]

113. So it's a case by case basis. Imagine that!

And Elizabeth is not beautiful.

[Missy Vixen]

120. Hard for me to imagine

why a woman who's modestly dressed in public and obviously has manners would not be seen as ladylike. Mrs. Thompson does not seem to own an article of clothing that is not set to "stun", and feels that's an appropriate way to dress.

I can't stand Michelle Malkin, but I noticed in the photographs of the White House Correspondents' Dinner that she evidently has some idea as to appropriate dress for a formal event.

>And Elizabeth is not beautiful.<

I feel fairly certain that the vast majority would disagree with your statement. She's lovely.

Julie

[Richard Steele]

110. Deleted. Don't want to feed the trolls. nm

[Marr]

121. Kucinich's party doesn't rail against the "Hollywood lifestyle"

or whatever they call it. I couldn't care less who people marry- but it *is* noteworthy when a party that mobilizes it's base with (among other things) moral outrage directed at Hollywood falls in love with a man who is essentially a caricature of Hollywood.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

125. LOL Good One.

Definitely an apples to apples response.

[Double T]

15. Funny........'his daughter' doesn't even remotely look like him.

How come his last name is Thompson and her's is McCarthy?

[nosmokes]

42. nose to nose his toes is in it, toes to toes his nose is in it...

introduction to tastelessless poetry

[DKRC]

83. Ah, but nose to toes or toes to nose...

:evilgrin:

[hughee99]

20. Ole' Fred must be a "leg-man".

:sarcasm:

[Township75]

21. DAMN! Nice hair and a nice rack!*

[glowing]

22. How old is she again? Was it 40? I want to know her secret.

Sorry, guys I'm a bit jealous. I would love to look that hot.

[Virginia Dare]

70. Hollywood plastic surgery, the best money can buy...

oh damn, I promised onenote I wouldn't trash her for her looks.

[glowing]

73. Her attractiveness isn't all due to plastic surgery.

[Virginia Dare]

74. Nope, but after 40 and 2 kids, it helps a lot...n/t

[Clark2008]

145. It helps - but I'm 37 and will be having my second kid tomorrow.

I look considerably younger than Jeri, for what it's worth.

Heck, I look younger than my husband who is, btw, younger than me. I guess he's my "trophy husband." :P

[Clark2008]

146. Honestly... water.

Drink lots and lots and lots of it. It helps your skin, helps your hair, helps you burn calories.

Exercise, eat correctly and meditate to alleviate stress.

I'm sure she might have had some tummy work after two kids and she may have had something done to her boobs (I really can't tell - if she did, her surgeon was excellent because she doesn't seem to have those tale-tell "headlights" look).

But, I would look good in that dress and I'm nearly her age (I mean, once I push this baby out tomorrow and given about two months to re-firm up).

[Arugula Latte]

23. Okay ... I try to be open-minded, but ...

Ew. x(

[Enrique]

27. First Lady Anna Nicole Thompson

sorry, is that disrespectful?

[mitchum]

28. C'mon...can't a DYING MAN have his pleasure?

[MiniMe]

32. I think I heard that his wife is a few years younger than his daughter

Gotta love those republican family values

[gravity]

37. Now that's just wierd

Imagine your 'mom' being younger than you

[kskiska]

68. And his wife's mother is 4 years younger than Fred. n/t

[DrRang]

71. Didn't his real daughter die? Seems I remember some tragedy.

[tammywammy]

72. Yes, his daughter did die a few years ago

[Tarheel_Dem]

35. I just heard David Bender comment that she's....

actually younger than his real-life daughter.

[tularetom]

38. I'm the same age as Thompson

and my granddaughter is older than his wife.

[Jed Dilligan]

39. Looks kinda botox-y

Not nearly as fresh and naturally beautiful as Kucinich's young wife.

Then again, Kucinich isn't a wrinkly, ugly old man with a face like a foreskin, either.

However, if Mrs. Dennis is ever in the market for someone younger and taller, she is invited to PM me...

old after all. He's only two years older than I am..I thought from that pic he was in his late 70's.

Just had a rough life..poor fred.

http://tv.yahoo.com/fred-thompson/contributor/1013019

He shares his birthday(different year) with Prez Clinton..hehe. August 19, 1942

[Clark2008]

45. First of all, Fred Thompson's daughter is dead.

Betsy Thompson died in 2002 from an accidental overdose.

Knowing this makes this thread even more tacky than it already is.

Let's stick to criticizing him for his lobbying, his failure to do much in the Senate and his helping select Alito, can't we?

[emilyg]

48. Thank you

A sane voice - I think I love you.

[Clark2008]

51. Thank you, too.

With liberal heroes Dennis Kucinich and Keith Olbermann married to or dating much younger women, I felt it was pretty hypocritical of us to be harping on Thompson's wife.

[pnwmom]

53. I think we're entitled to point out the hypocricy of Thompson

pushing his pro-"traditional marriage" meme in the face of his own non-traditional second marriage to a hottie in her thirties.

There's nothing traditional or culturally "conservative" about dumping a 25 year old marriage and taking on a 2nd wife younger than your daughter.

[tammywammy]

59. They were divorced for many years before he remarried

And the ex has said she'll campaign for him. It's not like he dumped his wife for her.

I don't see any hypocrisy in this aspect of Thompson.

[pnwmom]

64. "Traditional marriage" is supposed to be a lifetime commitment.

Not serial polygamy. I think it's ironic that none of these cultural conservatives that push these values seem to think it applies to themselves.

[Clark2008]

77. He didn't dump his wife for her.

The amicably separated. Thompson dated for several years before settling down again.

But, as it is, I don't think Thompson's agenda is pro-traditional marriage. The Repubs I know like him because he reminds them of Reagan, who was also twice married.

:shrug:

[pnwmom]

94. Yeah, and Reagan was a hypocrite, too.

[Warren DeMontague]

99. She could still be childbearing age, and the folks running the GOP want to make the pill illegal.

I think if they're going to push these agendas of trying to run other people's personal lives, it's legitimate to ask questions about how hypocritical these folks are.

[onenote]

129. exactly

Plenty of politicians from both parties have much younger wives -- including Ted Kennedy and John Conyers. This is a stupid thing for any Democrat to harp on.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

49. Wow, so it's incest AND necrophilia?

Jeez, the guy's more perverted than Rudy.

[ChazII]

61. Finally

an adult voice and a kind soul. Add another post thanking you.

[mitchum]

67. Good luck with that...I prefer getting the FRED THOMPSON IS DYING meme...

out there. It will prove to be a lot more effective.

[Clark2008]

90. That's actually way more important than his choice of a wife,

to be honest.

Can he fulfill his term?

[mitchum]

103. Yes, it will be effective with the swing voters...

it may be manipulative, but a discussion of the issues is not going to work with them
I told ya I was a cynic :)

peace,

[Forkboy]

122. Hey,a sane voice!

Thank you.

50. His grandchildren call her glandma. n/t

[Buck Rabbit]

We put our granddaughter in those ones with the built in feet.

54. LOL! n/t

[Skidmore]

56. Can you see that outfit at a state dinner?

[Lint Head]

58. I live in Tennessee.

I've met Fred 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' Thompson. From first hand knowledge I know he likes his women young, his liquor straight and his cigars (sssshhhhh) from Cuba. Democrats like their women smart. Re-pubic-rats like their women subserviant and not too bright. :dem:

[Sal Minella]

91. Just had a mental flash on the plaid couch sobbing behind Alito.

Ugh.

75. So Friggin'What! I think Chelsea's hot

Shouldn't you be posting something like this on My Space or something?

This is Democratic underground

please act like it

[bamacrat]

76. Very Hot

Better not try to use her to gain votes.

[tammywammy]

78. Since she was a republican stragetist

I'm sure she'll be quite helpful.

[DS1]

82. Not particularly

:shrug:

[rasputin1952]

85. Kind of looks like Nosferatu and one of his wives....

:D

Well...she certainly dresses better than Pickles...:rofl:

[Bombero1956]

97. she's not his granddaughter?

my bad

[rasputin1952]

102. LOL...

Greatgranddaughter...

:evilgrin:

[bdamomma]

95. that's his wife, he likes them young!!

[onenote]

128. yeah, she's a real baby -- 40 years old

And given the age difference between some prominent Democrats and their wives, I'm not sure why you'd want to go there...

[LoZoccolo]

96. I've said this before: older male sexuality is more reviled in our culture than gay sexuality.

As such, you won't be hearing me criticize Fred Thompson on this point.

[Warren DeMontague]

98. All I can say is, HE looks like a drawer full of smelly old socks.

Shit! It's Dan Aykroyd in "Nothing But Trouble"

[johncoby2]

108. OK. So I baited you guys. She is his WIFE! 2nd one.

And she is pretty hot. Or as Paris Hilton would say Hooooooot.

Damn my sexist ass will get kicked by the wife.

[Mushroom]

112. I doubt it

One woman's trash is another woman's treasure. Depending on how badly life treated a woman since infancy, men like you could be considered a keeper.

[tammywammy]

119. I agree

She's hot. I don't know many that would push her out of their beds. :P

[Forkboy]

123. Yup...a Master Baiter.

[noamnety]

136. copied from my sent mail

Can you see why this entire thread is demeaning to women?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

And yet I only noticed one post removed - so obviously the mods saw it, and decided the rest isn't offensively sexist, I guess. But the thread on Hillary not "clapping right" was shut down for sexism, and wasn't half as bad as this one. I appreciate that that one was closed, but I'd like to see sexist threads be removed because they are sexist, not because they are sexist and a democrat is the victim. I hope that makes sense.

Thread summary so you can see why it's offensive:

1. Acting like women are children. (comparing a 40 year old woman to a child)

2. Unwanted sexual attention, lest we forget women in the public eye - doing nothing except standing next to their husbands - are constantly in need of their fuckability ratings.

3. The assumption that a woman (who is an attorney and a "success" at least in financial terms) must be sleeping with a man for the money - in other words, a gold digging whore - based on what? Her looks? (She's attractive, therefore she is a whore)

4. Referring to a female DU member as "a shrill"

5. Again, insinuating the wife is a whore. (a "pro"???) Why isn't that against the DU rules? It's the CONCEPT, not the word itself, that's bigoted, no?

6. Called a "hussy" because her neckline is too low for the DU fashion police.

7. Moving on to Kucinich's wife, we get the (mandatory) critique of whether or not she dresses "appropriately." The discussion of whether she would make a good first lady focuses on her attractiveness. Oh, and whether her tongue is pierced. Note the complete lack of substance, as though she exists as an ornament, not as a person with a functioning brain.

8. Crude poetry about (candidates and their wives) having sex. (having his toes in it, having his nose in it??!!!)

9. Unwanted comments on the original wife's breasts.

10. Speculation on whether or not her breasts are real.

11. The general griping that "her" age isn't appropriate. (I've noticed any time there is an age discrepancy, it's always the "woman" who is an inappropriate age - like her age is her "fault" - and therefore SHE is a whore. It's much rarer to see it phrased as though the woman's age is fine, the man is an inappropriate age. Not that it matters, it's still nobody's damn business if they are consenting adults, except in the minds of the DUers here who apparently feel it's their job to arrange and approve marriages now.)

12. More fuckability ratings, more speculation on surgery

13. Making it known that the DU poster is willing to fuck Elizabeth if she wants someone younger. oy, such a compliment. Would thrill any woman, I'm sure.

14. Comments to the effect that even his grandchildren must identify her as nothing more than her breasts. (They must call her "glandma"? wtf.)

15. Again, referring to her as a child or toddler. (And, again, she's a 40 year old lawyer. Why are we discussing her needing a nap and likening her to a baby wearing feetie pajamas?)

16. Gratuitous fashion bashing of Laura Bush - in case we forgot ALL women are judged on their ability to function as a visual accessory - even when they aren't present or the topic of conversation.

17. Gratuitous judgment that no, she isn't fuckable.

The whole thread ought to be deleted, if DU is going to attempt to be a woman-friendly place.

[Mushroom]

137. Doesn't add up...

that du men don't pay du women's donations since it is so painfully old-fashioned here.

[femmedem]

139. Thank you.

If DU wants more women to donate to them, they should take a stand against sexist threads like this one.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

141. I Would Think Older Woman/Much Younger Man Would Create A Brouhaha Too

138. I don't care

She isn't looking to get the Republican nomination for president.
He is. That concerns me just a little bit more than his daughter's cup size.

[WCGreen]

140. He married the daughter he never had....

In all fairness, DK's wife is about 30 years younger than he...

If we are going to poke fun at an old fogey republican with a young wife, we have to at least acknowledge the wife of DK...

[youthere]

142. She's very pretty...

I heard she's in her early 40's and she looks like she's in her late 20's. I hope I can age that well. Hell...I didn't look that good when I WAS in my 20's.
