  • To be perfectly honest, I give the guy props both for the baby and the babe.

  • props?? that is total BS and sexist! More like a disgusting piece of crap cradle-robber. And I suppose if Hillary would leave Bill and marry some Brad Pitt-kind-of guy everyone would give her props for hooking the stud...this country has gone insane...would we give Ike props for leaving Mamie and nailing some Marilyn Monroe-wannabe...More attention needs to be paid to the hypocracy ot the GOP and their family value BS!

  • I'm not going to cast too deeply into this on either side, because in the end, Thompson's life choices are his, and if he wants this, and she wants this, fine.

    If they want to live that way, fine, not my business.

    Not running them down for their choices, but if your asking me, as he is in running for president, I'm saying I personally find it creepy.

  • Regardless of the actual age difference between Fred and Jeri, and regardless of the circumstances of Fred's failed first marriage, it's the anachronistic appearance of these two as a couple that is so, as Mike puts it, creepy.

    Fred easily looks 5 years older than he really is, and Jeri easily looks 10 years younger. So it appears there's something more like a 40 year difference between the two. Add to that Jeri's cheerleader countenance (she a forty-year-old who looks like a thirty year-old trying to look like a twenty-year-old) along with Fred's crusty geezer persona and you've got something very... well, creepy.
