Watch the video clip of Jeri Thompson that Allahpundit has linked at Hot Air, in which she comments on Fox News about the current GOP presidential race. Then draw your own conclusions as to whether she’s just a trophy wife (with all of that term’s ug…

Alrighty then . . . You think a wife is an irrelevant accessory. They should just keep quiet and remain in the background where they belong (and, but not limited to, the kitchen, bathroom floor scrubbing, taking care of the kids, eating bon-bons.)
See I can also blindly infer what you think just by misinterpreting your statements! Wow. That was easy and took little thought.

Seriously though. Look, you keep redefining representation as meaning bailing out. Fred and Jeri are both on the front lines. It’s called using your resources. Nothing dumb about it. I think your assumption of the intent of having Jeri out there is very lazy. You seem to have poor analytical skills. I show you qualification, legitimacy, and relevance and you still are fixated on retorting with archaic versions of a wives role in anything her husband does. I get it. You are stuck in some ways.

However it seems you are the one being intellectually dishonest (an example of how and when to use that term).

He is a grumpy old man — that’s why people were turned off when he finally got into the race.

Really, now? You can come up with something better than that. You know, with a little more substance, less rhetoric.

geckomon on January 15, 2008 at 2:35 AM

well no one has a clue why you guys are so willing to turn a blind eye to Fred’s flaws.

But it is VERY evident, and boarders on intellectual dishonesty.

csdeven on January 15, 2008 at 8:28 AM

Weak. I don’t agree with the ‘grumpy old man’ name calling. therefore I’m being intellectually dishonest. Really?

Ok, I’ll humor you. Let me take a moment to reflect this supposed gaffe of mine.
Ok, I’m done. Nope. Still can’t find a reason to continue debating with a person that thinks “grumpy old man” is an intellectual rebuttal.

MIKE HUCKABEE IS AN ABERRATION CAUSED BY THE MSM.

Mike Huckabee is the fusion reincarnation of Jimmy Baker and William “slick” Jefferson Clinton…

Apparently you’ve missed the numerous interviews that Mrs. Romney has done with the likes of ABC, MSNBC, CNN, etc.

Therefore Fred votes only subtract from Huckabee votes giving Mccain the nomination!

HaraldHardrada on January 15, 2008 at 2:56 AM

The fact that Huckabee is a lying, sleazy, ignorant leftist is what subtracts votes from Huckabee.

Almost no one here likes the Huckster because the more one learns about that fraud, the less there is to like. And there is so very little to like about Huck. As bad as McCain is, he looks like William Buckley compared to Huckster.

Go back to biblethumper.com or whatever site it is you came from. Here you’re just making a fool of yourself.

Dennis Hastert backs Romney. Is this a good thing?

csdeven on January 15, 2008 at 1:35 AM

Dude. I live near Hastert’s west suburban Chicago district, and I tell you that there aren’t 14 people alive who give a rat’s ass who Dennis Hastert backs.

Dad retired June 72. We moved from Philly to Long Beach and then to San Diego when the fleet moved down there. The family was able to ride the ship from LB to SD. Dad was on the signal bridge and would send me to the galley etc for donuts. It is one of the fondest memories I have.

this woman is a huge asset to Fred!s campaign – articulate, coherent, credible.
fabrexe on January 15, 2008 at 3:23 AM

Everyone agrees. As a matter of fact, most would go on to say that she is a greater asset than Fred is.

Really, now? You can come up with something better than that. You know, with a little more substance, less rhetoric.

A candidates demeanor is a completely valid subject for discussion. Like most Fredheads, you totally ignore his weaknesses in an attempt to do….well no one has a clue why you guys are so willing to turn a blind eye to Fred’s flaws.

But it is VERY evident, and boarders on intellectual dishonesty.

geckomon on January 15, 2008 at 1:38 AM

I understand how you feel about it. You think Jeri’s toughness in the political arena is a good thing.

I don’t. It makes Fred look weak. Weak because the first lady has nothing to do with policy or the politics of the office. Is Fred gonna send Jeri out to defend him against the attacks of Kim Jung sickinthehead and Aloonyboonyjob? You want her too, I don’t.

She should run and leave Fred to be the first gentleman if that’s the case.

Here is video of Jeri Thompson being interviewed on MSNBC, where she said, among other things, that Mike Huckabee is not particularly conservative. She was careful to say it artfully, “People say he’s not a conservative”:

My dad was a plank owner on the USS John S McCain (mcShamnesty’s dad)(DDG 36).

I served aboard the USS John S McCain DDG-36 from 1973-1975 out of San Deigo. Many fond memories…especially Westpac tour.(1974) :)
