Worth linking for three reasons: (1) to promote the Team Sarah phone bank; (2) to remind people of just how unfair the media’s smear of JT as a halfwit “trophy wife” was; (3) to feel the blast from the atomic snark she drops on Colmes at the beginning. Good lord. I think I would have started to cry.
Exit question: Jeri for Congress? We’ll be down to, oh, 170 or so House seats by 2010. With so many GOP incumbents turned out, the way is clear for fresh faces…

Gawd she is hot.
ManlyRash on October 24, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Dang youtube? I can’t get through the work filters.
Theworldisnotenough on October 24, 2008 at 4:23 PM
I know the feeling.
I wonder if eyeblast has it.
upinak on October 24, 2008 at 4:25 PM
Palin in 2016 with Jeri as campaign manager and then CoS.
I can Dream…
ChrisM on October 24, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Conservative women…nuthin’ better
joepub on October 24, 2008 at 4:27 PM
I didn’t think Alan Colmes could get any uglier…until I just saw him next to Jeri Thompson. Wow!
Grafted on October 24, 2008 at 4:27 PM
I adore Jeri Thompson. Every time she sweeps those eyelashes, an angel is bounced around on its cloud.
Off to check out Team Sarah.
RushBaby on October 24, 2008 at 4:28 PM
Janine Turner (northern exposure) is on Team Sarah too?
Republican women are hot!
lorien1973 on October 24, 2008 at 4:29 PM
If you lived in a civilized part of the country you’d have decent internet. :-)
ManlyRash on October 24, 2008 at 4:29 PM
In a heartfelt sexist moment with Sarah, Jeri, and Cindy we have the makings of a great calendar…
patrick neid on October 24, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Spending to help the economy.
Sarah Palin – Jeri Thompson – 2012
Clothsgate – minutia in the works
Kini on October 24, 2008 at 4:30 PM
That was better comedy than last nights SNL.
She is great. I would love to see her in congress.
jencab on October 24, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Gotta love the hypocrisy here. Colmes says that Obama’s association with a domestic terrorist is a distraction from the real issues, but he’ll push the attacks on her clothing.
amerpundit on October 24, 2008 at 4:31 PM
I love seeing Colmes b*tch-slapped!
What we need to know: does he like a good slap now and then?

Fantasy ticket…at least in my fantasies.
Bishop on October 24, 2008 at 4:32 PM
I very much like her and love it that she continues to destroy the imagine the media painted of her.
Esthier on October 24, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Funny! She said Catacolmes has a shoe fetish, and I think he blushed!
james23 on October 24, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Is it just me, or did she almost drop the f-bomb on live television?
Esthier on October 24, 2008 at 4:34 PM
the woman who would have been First Lady and may be president one day… don’t underestimate JT…
Kaptain Amerika on October 24, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Sounds good to me. The Republicans will probably reclaim a bunch of seats in 2010 if Obama gets elected.
forest on October 24, 2008 at 4:34 PM
If your filter is as bad as mine (and it probably isn’t, our IT guy just didn’t really care), then you could try uk.youtube.com.

That was fun. I miss Fred’s appearances with Colmes; he was the master of making Alan look like he was about to wet himself.
Here’s a collection of the two together: http://fredthompsonnews.blogspot.com/search/label/Alan%20Colmes
Brad G on October 24, 2008 at 4:36 PM
She’s awesome! ‘How ’bout you let me answer the question.’ Take that Colmes…

What a tool skeletor is!!!
grapeknutz on October 24, 2008 at 4:37 PM
Can you imagine Gov. Palin and Jeri Thompson on a stump speech together?
………… Obama, Biden, and the MSM would literally have a fit………….. kinda like this one…
Seven Percent Solution on October 24, 2008 at 4:37 PM
Oh wow… that was epic.
“I have an idea. How about I get to answer, then you get to respond…”
LOL.
Lehosh on October 24, 2008 at 4:37 PM
The Republicans will probably reclaim a bunch of seats in 2010 if Obama gets elected.
Come on now, you really believe there will be elections in 2010, 2012 for that matter?
Bishop on October 24, 2008 at 4:37 PM
What would qualify J Thompson to run for VP?
Don`t freak….just asking.
ThePrez on October 24, 2008 at 4:37 PM
The Dems and the media have a shoe fetish… LMAO
Alan, pull your head out bud.
Kevin in Washington State on October 24, 2008 at 4:39 PM
“I have an idea. How about I get to answer, then you get to respond…”
LOL.
Lehosh on October 24, 2008 at 4:37 PM
That was an epic burn, I think Skeletor got a scorch mark on his ass over that one.
Bishop on October 24, 2008 at 4:39 PM
That was awesome!
Zetterson on October 24, 2008 at 4:40 PM
I think we need a compilation video of Alan Colmes getting bitch slapped by H&C guests. It would be the feel good video of the year.
Dreadnought223 on October 24, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Pissy much, Alan?

She’s over 25 and a citizen.
If Al Franken can run for Senate, your pet rock can run.
Bishop on October 24, 2008 at 4:43 PM
She did very well. She was ready to battle.
tomas on October 24, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Man is that woman fine, AND she has a Southern drawl.
Mmm Mmm good.

First Lady of Awesome Smart Guy.
Worked for Hillary, anyway.
BKennedy on October 24, 2008 at 4:45 PM
She is unfairly hot. Every time Jeri Thompson smiles, a new conservative child is immaculately conceived in middle America.
Clearly, the answer is to redistribute her beauty to the less-fortunate ugly liberals.
Flyover Country on October 24, 2008 at 4:46 PM
I remember reading an article about the Obamas during the primaries that talked about Michelle Obama’s large collection of Jimmy Choo (an expensive designer whose shoes run upwards of $450 a pair) shoes, and her large collection of diamond jewelry. MO also made that comment when the first stimulus was proposed that $600 was nothing, just another pair of earrings. I wonder how many “soccer Moms” are running around in $450 shoes, or wearing $600 earrings, or for that matter, how many of them live in a huge house with a 1,000 bottle wine cellar (purchased with the assistance of a convicted felon political fixer for hundreds of thousands below market price), like Michelle Obama does? And unlike Sarah Palin, you know Michelle won’t be giving back all the expensive clothes, shoes, jewelry, make-up, etc., that she’s received during the campaign.
AZCoyote on October 24, 2008 at 4:46 PM
I saw this last night, and she was dynamite. I loved the shoe fettish crack. Given Colmes’s general creepiness, the crack probably hit close to home.
Meanwhile, Obama counters with women such as Claire McCaskill and some whiny member of Congress from Minnesota.
I could listen to Jeri, Janine, Palin, Elizabeth Dole, and Kaye Bailey Hutchinson for hours.
BuckeyeSam on October 24, 2008 at 4:47 PM
Thompson for Senate in 2010.
V15J on October 24, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Colmes shouldn’t be renewed. They should get Penn Jillette or Ron Silver, they’re not intellectually and morally bankrupt like Skeletor.
liquidflorian on October 24, 2008 at 4:50 PM
How do we know Obama stopped snorting coke? Why won’t he release his medical records? Is he still a junkie? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
stonemeister on October 24, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Why is it that every lefty slime ball like Alan feels the need to talk over people like that? There must be something ingrained in their system to try to shutdown speech they don’t like.
bj1126 on October 24, 2008 at 4:51 PM
awesome!
trailortrash on October 24, 2008 at 4:52 PM
I am going to make a moose chase you … then not tell you how to get away from it!
upinak on October 24, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Do you really believe there won’t be?
paul006 on October 24, 2008 at 4:53 PM
Hey AP, if we’re down to 170 house seats by 0′10, and Barry wins, it’ll be too late for any GOP newcomers.
The political scenario has changed dramatically since ‘94. The decks will be stacked. ACORN’s voter fraud racket is just the tip of the iceberg.
Hell, they used Fannie Mae to melt down the economy and steal everyone’s 401K money while we were in charge. Imagine what they’ll pull if they control all three branches.
If you’re right come 0′10 there’s probably only 3 options.
Hunker down in a Gated comnmunity ostracise yourself from politics and hoard your money. Vote with your feet and check out the friendly confines of Latin America. Arm yourself and prepare for Civil War II.
there it is on October 24, 2008 at 4:53 PM
She’s on Hannity’s radio show as we type.
CanadianGuy on October 24, 2008 at 4:54 PM
Why are conservative women so much more beautiful that Libs?
TheSitRep on October 24, 2008 at 4:56 PM
Just wanted to highlight this. ;-)

do tell, do tell…….
patrick neid on October 24, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Colmes was once again (for about the 10 time in two weeks) had his *ss handed to him.
Colmes has had a bad couple of weeks…Gringrich, Rove, Morris, they have all taken him down and pinned the fool.
right2bright on October 24, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Of course there will be. You wanna put the ACORN voter registration team out of work?
(Now that I mention it, yes, I do.)
The Monster on October 24, 2008 at 4:59 PM
Oh please, AllahPundit. You and Michelle Malkin were the fiercest ones on the blogs to smear Fred Thompson over the “silly hat” crap. And now you’re going to actually post that it was unfair for the media to smear his wife? Whatever. I have yet to see you, Michelle Malkin or Bryan Preston apologize for the ’silly hat’ nonsense and remind people of how unfair it was of you all to smear him over that.
I’ve defended you – and still take your side now – over your pessimism schtick, but that nonsense that you, Michelle Malkin and Bryan Preston pulled over the “silly hat” incident was as despicable as some of the stupid smears the mass media has done to Palin. Those threads were actually the first time I had seen you, Michelle Malkin and Bryan Preston all actually participate in the comments section of a post, not just make a post on the topic.
Today you will hype Jeri as being smart and a possible candidate for Congress, and then, when/if she runs, and makes a “silly hat” comment, you and Michelle will be right back here smearing her, saying she has made such a horrible, horrible comment, that will ruin her campaign.

I saw that F bomb about to drop. Deftly defused yet delivered by her.
BL@KBIRD on October 24, 2008 at 5:02 PM
No, I’m not going to do it “now.” I’ve done it before, more than once, when the media was beating her up over this.
Allahpundit on October 24, 2008 at 5:03 PM
Whoa– that was a snark bomb (and an awesome one, too)! I think Parker, Noonan, et.al have their knickers in a twist because, like Tony Blankley said, it’s people (women) like Sarah and Jeri that are going to rebuild the conservative movement– real, intelligent working women with families who are not so insecure about their smarts that they have to pen pseudo-intellectual columns every week to impress other dorks and namby-pamby men with no lives.
Pasalubong on October 24, 2008 at 5:03 PM
Skeleltor’s question was stupid. The campaign had to buy nice, expensive clothes from Saks and Nordstroms precisely because Governor Palin prefers to shop from places like Wal-Mart.
If Governor Palin shopped at places like Nordstroms and Saks, she’d have a closet full of camera-ready, tailored, designer clothes of her own that she could have brought along.
JadeNYU on October 24, 2008 at 5:03 PM
You better email that.
ManlyRash on October 24, 2008 at 5:05 PM
Undeniable Truth of Life #24 – Feminism was created so as to permit unattractive women easieer access to the social mainstream. Ditto for liberalism. And when it comes to conseervatism, even physically unattractive women exude a powerful inner beauty. Thus: Margaret Thatcher.
ManlyRash on October 24, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Okay, good to know.
So it’s not okay for the media to call her a trophy wife, but it is okay for you, Bryan Preston and Michelle Malkin to say that Fred Thomson cannot be President and his campaign is toast, because he makes a “silly hat” comment.
Sorry, as you can tell, I am still majorly annoyed over that incident with you three. I lost a lot of respect for all three of you over that. (yeah, I know, not that it matters, just sayin) Yes I still read the sites, obviously, but that woke me up to just how petty and fickle people who blog can be, just as the mass media is.
Michael in MI on October 24, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Colmes is an idiot. If it wasn’t for Hannity, he would be on MSNBC competing with Keith Oberman and Chris Matthews for the biggest piece of human garbage on the face of the earth.
volsense on October 24, 2008 at 5:09 PM
Excellent. You’re obviously a Rush fan. His undeniable truths are spot-on.
Michael in MI on October 24, 2008 at 5:10 PM
She nukes Skeletor and he reponds to her answer of NO by repeating the same question like a whiny 5 yr old.
This woman does not suffer fools like Alan gladly. Oh yeah – and she is smoking hot.
DeweyWins on October 24, 2008 at 5:10 PM
Thank You Jeri! Well done (that would be Skeletor).
Looks like she’s a trophy for all of us too!
I hope Fred gets out & pushes real hard in these last 2 weeks. Real Americans love to hear him speak.
JoeAvg on October 24, 2008 at 5:12 PM
Ahhhhhhhhhh. Where’s the second half of the interview!!!! Interviewus Interuptus………
Mallard T. Drake on October 24, 2008 at 5:14 PM
LOL….that’s why they are undeniable. One cannot watch Hillary and deny it.
ManlyRash on October 24, 2008 at 5:17 PM
Palin/Thompson 2012!
jgapinoy on October 24, 2008 at 5:19 PM
Sean Hannity: “Why is it only Republican women who experience these attacks?”
Let me put it to you this way: Cindy McCain, Sarah Palin, Jeri Thompson vs. Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Jon Edwards. Nuff said.
Tacitus_SGL on October 24, 2008 at 5:21 PM
I saw this live and she was very good; but she really whiffed a slow pitch that Colmes served up. Dipstick was mocking Palin for saying that the VP’s job was to “run the Senate”, and Jeri let it pass. Damnit people, that is exactly the only job the VP has. Article I, Section 3: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.” WHEN Palin becomes VP she could decide to go down there every day to gavel their sorry asses into session. The fact that historically they choose a “President Pro Tem” to run the place in the VP’s absence does not amend the Constitution to suit Mr. Colmes or the other MSM idiots. (This issue was also one of the big ones Biden tripped over in the debate, but which was ignored like all the others.)
FalseProfit on October 24, 2008 at 5:38 PM
Lady de Rothschild is pretty cool too.
Domino on October 24, 2008 at 5:43 PM
I’m not a big fan of Hannity’s, but if it weren’t for Hannity, Colmes wouldn’t be on television.
If Hannity would stop repeating the talking points that he develops for each subject (and then never changes over many months) and offer some slam-dunk analysis, I’d say Colmes is to Hannity as the Washington Generals are to the Harlem Globetrotters. As things stand, it’s too often left to sharp guests like Jeri, Newt, Rove, and some others to play the Globetrotters to Colmes’s Washington Generals.
BuckeyeSam on October 24, 2008 at 5:43 PM
If Fred ever kicks off, leaves her, becomes kidnapped by a hoard of ragging pygmies in the South Pacific and my wife is with him….I am claiming Jeri Thompson for myself. Dibs!
JP1986UM on October 24, 2008 at 5:48 PM
Ok, I’ll say it… I just had a tingle shoot up my leg.
You have to love a strong willed, confident conservative woman. At the same time I hate Fred…..that lucky bastard.
David in ATL on October 24, 2008 at 5:48 PM
Of course there will be elections. We already know the outcome.
allrsn on October 24, 2008 at 5:48 PM
Jeri to Colmes…
“I have an idea. You ask a stupid question. I make you look like a fool. You interrupt me. I kick you in the frank and beans region. You limp off whining like a girly-man….do you want to play ball, biotch?”
David in ATL on October 24, 2008 at 5:58 PM
Trophy wife indeed! And what a trophy! My respect for Fred is even higher now!
Articulate, well spoken, patriotic and obviously intelligent. Not to mention drop dead gorgeous. Conservative women got it all.
I like the idea of her running for office.
hburns on October 24, 2008 at 5:59 PM
The only thing that would have been better is for her to grab that little sh**t Colmes by his Little lib. neck and smack the ever loving crap out of him!!!!
thmcbb on October 24, 2008 at 6:01 PM
Hang on. I’ve just had a thought – 2012, Palin for President , Jeri Thompson for VP and Megyn Kelly as Secretary of State….
… I’ve lost my train of thought, where was I?
schiehallion on October 24, 2008 at 6:03 PM
Man, she nuked Skeletor.
Dragged Michelle Obama into it.
Noting NYT junk status.
Trifecta!
JammieWearingFool on October 24, 2008 at 6:09 PM
“The question was about Sarah Palin”…Combs is such a cross-dresser…as when on TV, when he dresses as a male….
The whole Hannity/Combs formula has jumped the shark…blind partisan v. blind partisan…can’t the folks at Fox find someone with a deliberative braincell in their heads and put him/her on TV?
Sarah’s clothes…is the DNC out of things to snark about? What’ll be next? An itimized list of the underwear she bought?
…hey…I might like to know that…go ahead, Combs….
Puritan1648 on October 24, 2008 at 6:19 PM
God, but Colmes is a tool. Good for Jeri for smacking him down.
irishspy on October 24, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Run with this story MSM. This is a total win for republicans. Let’s hear about Palin’s wardrobe from the same people who told us Aires was irrelevant. It just further shows how deranged the MSM is when it comes to Palin and how they just cannot handle a beautiful woman.
They spent this money on Palin BECAUSE she isn’t a millionaire who already has a closet full of designer clothes.
twoarmman on October 24, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Awesome. I.LOVE. JERI THOMPSON.
