Wedding photo of Fred Thompson & Bride

[dancingme]

[Sanity Claws]

1. He looks more like the father of the bride

That is not a nice dress. It would be suitable for a 17 year-old but not for a grown woman somewhere in her late 20s or 30s.

[HockeyMom]

16. I was married at 25

and would not have been caught dead in a dress like that for my wedding. It is meant more for a SENIOR PROM.

[Gravel2008]

23. I don't see what's wrong with the dress?

Looks alright to me. But then again I never cared much for the superficial world of fashion, something I'm not ashamed to say.

Fred gives me the creeps though, but I don't think that has anything to do with what he's wearing.

[WinkyDink]

30. Aside from the fact it looks both cheap and casual?

[Sanity Claws]

33. It's not age appropriate

The style is very teenagish/juvenile, not at all sophisticated. For example, it has those tiny spaghetti straps. A more sophisticated look would be strapless or wider straps with a deeper neckline. Another example of the lack of sophistication in the style is the ruffles along the bottom; they are just too cute for a grown woman's wedding gown.

[HockeyMom]

35. It is not appropriate for a WEDDING

especially for a woman over 20, let alone a 40 year old.

[AspenRose]

53. It's a free country, and she can wear what she wants, but....

....there are a lot of churches who would have refused to marry her in that attire, due to its lack of modesty. :shrug:

[RebelOne]

67. It is perfectly appropriate.

I detect a hint of jealousy.

[mitchum]

42. I have said time and time again that she has no taste

[AnnieBW]

62. Well, yeah

Look who she married! :puke:

[distantearlywarning]

2. Um...yeah. Wow.

She looks like his granddaughter, not his wife. Is she really 40-something? Her hairstyle and dress and general physical proportions make her look like she's about 19. Which I guess is a good thing for her... I wonder how a guy like him managed to hook up with a girl like that? Maybe it's the money?

[Warpy]

9. She's no cupcake, she's a GOP party operative and general

wonk, ready to mold this dim and conservative actor into the next Reagan.

That's the idea, anyway.

[Iris]

51. well, she wasn't 40-something when they got married. nt

[MNDemNY]

3. Wow, and she's wearing white!

[JHB]

4. So?

Unless she's underaged and not legally able to make her own decisions, or unless he violated a prior commitment and cheated on a previous wife before marrying the new one, this is their business, not ours.

[Clark2008]

65. Amen.

There are so many things we can complain about regarding Fred Thompson, why do we keep going on ad nauseum about his wife?

Hell, his wife will help him get the repressed Fundie/Conservative vote. It's best we don't pay attention to her at all.

[veniceboy]

5. Aw, giving his granddaughter away-

I guess his son died so he had to give his granddaughter away at the alter. Wait? She married that reptile? I see this as a major liability for the "values" party. Wonder if he does blow off her rack.

[RC Quake]

6. Looks like a Hee-Haw Harpie to me!

:puke:

[Warpy]

7. Nice wedding chapel

Where is the Elvis impersonator?

[yurbud]

8. I thought it was going to be the cryptkeeper and an Olsen twin

[merci_me]

10. Every picture I've seen of her

is in something very revealing. So, I have to wonder, is that an inset above the waist that's lined lace or is it actually open lacework?

[Malikshah]

11. Wow. Didn't know Freddy was into the Purity Ball circuit...wait..you don't mean...

Well, as long as it's his first wife....wait, you don't mean that he divorced his first wife of 25 years and then married someone younger than his daughter..... say it ain't so.

[mitchum]

44. LMAO!!!

nicely done :)

[Clark2008]

68. That might be funny... if it were true.

But, it's not.

He did divorce his first wife... about 18 years before he married this one (he divorced his first wife in the 80s and didn't marry Jeri until 2002).

Again, surely we can find something else about him to complain about.

[BlooInBloo]

12. My god. Will we ever stop posting pictures of fred's wife? Sheesh.

[Beaverhausen]

13. Any photo of Kuchinich and his wife is similar

Elizabeth Kuchinich is also many years younger ( and way more attractive) than her husband.

I really don't think this is relevant to any important issues.

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. To be fair, Elizabeth Kucinich is more attractive than just about

anybody you can name (IMO).

[tularetom]

14. Jeezus is he ever one fugly mofo

[Ganja Ninja]

15. OK I know this is a lot of fun but there are real issues we can hit ...

Fred with like his support for Scooter Libby or his phony good ol'boy image complete with his "lil'red truck" campaign prop. The man is a corporate lawyer turned Hollywood actor. I think people have had enough of the fake rancher in the White House. Perhaps exposing Fred for the phony farmer he tries to pass himself off as would be more productive.

[Gravel2008]

17. There's a bigger age difference between Kucinich and his wife

31 years to the Thompsons' 25 to be exact. Just reminding some on this thread who seem to have forgotten...

[Kingshakabobo]

24. Thank you for your CONCERN. n/t

[partylessinOhio]

19. Mrs. Thompson looks about 50 trying to be 16. Pathetic.

I saw a current tape of Thompson this weekend. He really looks very old and not too well. I don't feel his health will make it through a campaign and four years if he won.

We really don't need another claymation puppet as president.

[peaches2003]

20. Hypocrisy of the rw fundies will be a riot

Can you imagine how the rw fundies will adopt this young-looking woman as adorable while if this were a Dem couple they would be all over themselves making fun of them and calling her every name in the book.

[laststeamtrain]

21. Maybe he's going to explain The Starr Report to her? n/t

[Bluebear]

22. Sweet flower girl. OK, where's the bride?

I kid.

[greenbriar]

what kind of frikin boquet is that?

weird

[liberalEd]

29. Lilies are traditional for funerals I think n/t

[TahitiNut]

31. Well, ol' Fred could've croaked right there - calling for an immediate funeral ceremony.

:evilgrin:

[liberalEd]

50. Ah, smart woman planning ahead like that. n/t

[Sanity Claws]

34. Lily Munster slept with calla lillies, like that.

Remember? She had them in her hands when she lay down to sleep in her coffin.

[wicket]

25. Nice pic, what's the issue?

n/t

[blondeatlast]

26. Exactly. Thanks. nt

[wicket]

63. You are welcome!

:hi:

[Bitwit1234]

27. Except for those boobs she looks like first communion dress up.

[displacedtexan]

28. This looks a lot like... skin:

Pink showing through the lace cutouts.

Classy!

[GumboYaYa]

32. No surprise there, fame is a massive aphrodisiac...

Have you seen the women Phil Spector associates with? Fred Thompson may be old and out of shape, but he ain't anywhere close to Phil Spector ugly. Having a younger pretty second wife is par for the course in Thompson's profession.

He is just like everyone else in Hollywoood.

[CatWoman]

37. it's not the fame, Gumbo

it's the "power"

[rec_report]

36. Mega barf alert! (Fred Thompson is disgusting.)

:puke:

[ContraBass Black]

38. I don't give a damn how old his wife is because she's a consenting adult,

But does he appear in exactly the same pose in every picture with her?

[Ilsa]

39. Oh. I thought it was her confirmation picture. (Couldn't help myself. --

I think it si fine if these people, including Dennis Kucinich, want to marry younger women.)

[Catherine Vincent]

40. He's 30 years older?

There's no way he's satisfying her. :blush:

[tammywammy]

61. he's 25 years older

Kucinich is 31 years older than his wife, I believe.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

41. God Bless Him. She Looks Beautiful.

Not sure what else it was you were expecting people to say.

[yardwork]

43. Honestly, I think that these threads making fun of people are beneath DU

I understand that folks are pointing out the hypocrisy of the "family values" party, but since Fred Thompson and his wife don't seem to have done anything illegal or even immoral by most people's standards, I think we should drop it.

Just my two cents.

[Connie_Corleone]

45. I was about to post the same thing.

Some are talking about her dress looking cheap, she has no taste, her dress is not age appropriate.

Who cares?? Let's deal with Thompson on the issues.

[tammywammy]

52. I don't get it either

If people are going to be outraged about the age difference, shouldn't Kucinich be receiving more disgust? The age difference for Dennis & his wife is a lot more than Thompson and his.

BTW, I don't care for the dress either, but then I'm not the one wearing it. I do love the callas though. :)

[mitchum]

46. Give him a break...can't a DYING MAN have some pleasure?

[bicentennial_baby]

47. Y'all are outta control!

Couple the morality police with the fashion and propriety forces...and you have this thread. Glad to see you're all spending so much energy on this topic. :rofl:

[onenote]

48. thanks goodness she didn't wear a tiara

The fashion police here would be all over that. Oh wait, that's what Elizabeth Kucinich wore.

[Ezlivin]

49. I wouldn't kick either one of them out of bed

But then again I'm paralyzed and can't kick at all!

When did DU turn into ET?

56. creepy... is he the FATHER of the bride????

[zanne]

57. How long did it take her to dye her hair blond?

Prominent Republican women (or wives of prominent Repulican men) have to have long blond hair,and big boobs. They know how to attract their base, the Young White Male.

[yurbud]

58. UNRETOUCHED PHOTO:

[Raine]

59. Ugh, I'm glad I'm not her

I'd hate to have that ole guy climbing into my bed. :puke:

[AlCzervik]

60. my critique--the headpiece is all wrong, thats all.

[Telly Savalas]

64. Kick! This shit is so fucking important!!!!!!!

IT"S HUGH!!!1111

I'm SERIES!!111

[Hubert Flottz]

66. Gold gold gold fe fe fe gold gold gold fe fe fe...
