Meet Fred Thompson’s wife, Jeri Kehn
Lately there has been an increasing internet interest in the wife of former senator and possible current former presidential candidate Fred Thomson. There is a 24 year difference in their ages which led to the usual snickers about his ‘babe wife’, ‘child bride’ and ‘trophy wife’. MSNBC talk show host and former Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.) created some controversey for his comments asking whether former Sen. Fred Thompson’s (R-Tenn.) wife, Jeri, “works the pole.”
Besides the obvious references to ‘Thom and Jeri’, would it really be that bad to have a hottie in the white house? I say no! And I think it would be reassuring knowing that once again it would be safe for the nation’s interns to work there due to the president actually being able to ogle his wife instead of the ‘new crop’ .
All the recent hype and recent surge in interest in Jeri has caused the usual spike in Google searches for her which in turn has led WND, Michelle Malkin and others to accuse Google of bias when such searches led to Debra LaFave, the naughty schoolteacher, instead of pics of Jeri Kehn, wife and mother.
It is interesting to watch how quickly a controversial statement or picture, combined with a good looking woman, spins out of control and becomes the next Internet sensation. This begins the usual cycle of interest and stories flying fast and furious between the blogosphere, print media and spillage onto the airwaves. We’ve seen it just lately with our now famous polevaulter of the champions and the predetermined dance between the initial report, the corresponding increase in google searches, the blogs taking notice, the media reporting on the increasing activity on the net which then leads to a vastly larger number of searches and a resulting flood of blog posts on the sudden surge of interest on the subject.
If large enough this in turn finds itself reported by a major news outlet which once again starts another major surge in search engine requests and the cycle surges forward yet again for another length of time. It has become downright predictable, and us “little guys” then manipulate it to help drive traffic to our sites as I am doing right now. Always fun and fascinating to watch.

Won’t that distract from blaming Clinton’s penis for every ill under the sun? Is there any chance we can start spreading a rumor that Bill sexually harrassed Thomson’s wife before people start forgetting how evil he was?

I am a big fan of Fred Thompson. What great taste he has in women! The age difference is of no importance…because it sounds as if she has the brains to go with her looks!
I have two daughters in long term marriages…the husbands are 20 and 21 years older than my daughters. my girls have the looks and the brains…one husband a surgeon, the other a TV director.
A great lookin first lady would be wonderful…and would beat the former “shillery” all to pieces!

Thompson – married twice
Gingrich – married twice and the relationships overlap
McCain – married twice (at least the guy took responsibility for it)
Gulianni – married 3 times
Romni – Married only one time, though his religion allows more than one. Give him a break.
Wow!!!! what an impressive republican field of family values. I think democrats don’t have the balls to defeat this group. So I predict a Republican 2008 victory.

Interesting post! I found your site when I decided to Google-image Jeri, as I hadn’t seen any pics yet. Heck, I’ll admit I didn’t even know his new wife’s name until tonight when someone I know working on his campaign (which I also just learned) told me. I sent her this T-shirt link and she said that she’d just “forwarded it to Jeri Thompson” in case she hadn’t seen it, and was ordering several herself.
Being blonde, my first thought (hey, it was only for a split second!) was “Oh. Must be a relative of some kind…”
My second thought was… “D’oh!”

That still doesn’t mean Thompson gives a rat’s a** about college tuition, health insurance, or the little people who need help…
Again, how a money-grubbing party can possibly gain any credit as the patriotic party is beyond me; read the American Bar Association’s report on Signing Statements, and you’ll see who cares about AMERICA and AMERICA’S foundation. Most GWB supporters don’t have an inkling of what intangible means…as in intangible fabric of American freedom.

Bryan
August 21, 2007 at 6:07 pm
Maybe not a child bride, but definitely not 41 either. Sorry, but you should check your facts before posting. When Fred divorced his first wife in 1985 (after 25 years of marriage), Fred was 42 and Jeri (his current/second wife) was 18. Ouch!!! That’s 24 years separating the two. When they married in 2002, he was 59 and she was 35. That had to be an ugly wedding night for her. In October 2003, Fred and Jeri Thompson had their first child. A second child was born to them in November 2006. Mr. Thompson also has children and grandchildren from his previous marriage. It just leaves a really bad taste in the mouth. What kind of man needs a someone 24 years younger than he is to prop up his flagging…ego?
Mariska
August 31, 2007 at 9:15 pm
I do not see how who Fred Thompson chooses to marry and how much of an age difference their is can be of such grave importance! She is not 12 nor is she his cousin…so legally…they can marry. It is no one elses decision. I don’t think he should be criticized for being divorced either…….none of us know the circumstances that led to his divorce and it is none of our business anyway. Yes, the President of the United States should be a positive example to others, but one should always remember that the President is a human being who makes mistakes just like everyone else. Remember FDR—–he was married to his cousin and had a not-so-secret affair. JFK and his womanizing and OTHER activities? And what about old Bill Clinton.? They all made some poor choices in their personal lives BUT they made them while in office……and that made it the business of the American people. Fred’s personal past is his past and I have heard of nothing that would cause me to judge him any differently than the other candidates.
Sorry Lefties,,,,,,,not what you expected to hear from a Southern, Educated, Christian, Professional, Republican mother of three, but who needs labels…….right? And to destardi……..your comments are distateful, but they are yours to make. I have one word for you…..EDUCATION! Your point is lost when criticism and profanity are you emphasis. AND–Mr. Warren……….Right-wing Wackos! Did you coin that term all by yourself…….or Google it?

I think the problem most have is that having a wife much younger than you indicates a sort of arrested development. It remains to be seen whether that concern is valid.
Wes
September 1, 2007 at 8:59 pm
Sorry folks, but a little reality check is in order here. Contrary to Mariska, it is not at all uncommon for a 35-year old woman to be attracted to a rich, powerful, charming 59-year old man. And contrary to Wes, when older men marry attractive, younger women, it’s not because of an “arrested development,” since contemporary times are really the first era in history where this hasn’t been the norm.
DFV the Scribe
September 1, 2007 at 9:57 pm
But contemporary social mores are the only ones that actually matter because those are the ones that govern the way we conduct ourselves. And also the ones that give us our sense of what’s right and what’s wrong. It’s generally not socially acceptable for non-widowers to date women nearly half their age. Perhaps the correct phrase would be mid-life crisis.
But you can’t say for sure that this is a non-issue. Thompson would be the first President to have been divorced multiple times, and the only other one to be divorced had been married for a LONG time before he got into office. Marriage is serious business for most people. Since he’s going to be running as the conservative answer to Rudy Giuliani, this could potentially be a problem.
Wes
September 1, 2007 at 10:27 pm
A ‘problem’ only with the Left who are desperately trying to find something, anything, to attack Fred Thompson with. Conservatives have already given him a ‘pass’ (at least for the moment). He’s still seen as far more ‘moral’ than the sexless, loveless, affair ridden ‘marriage’ of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Dave the Infidel Sage
September 1, 2007 at 10:35 pm
There’s plenty to attack Fred Thompson with. The idea that we’re somehow scared of this guy is really ridiculous. He’s running on a pro-corporate agenda, he’s a former lobbyist, Nixon thought he was a moron, he accomplished very little as a Senator, he was a co-sponsor of McCain-Feingold and now says he’s against it.
You guys NEED him to be a really dynamic, powerful figure, but that doesn’t make him so. If he were running against any figure in the Republican party you found remotely credible, you’d be voting for someone else.
Wes
September 1, 2007 at 11:47 pm
But I didn’t mean to get into that, and I really don’t want to discuss it. My point is just that to a lot of people I have known, divorce is still a scandal and older men that don’t settle down are considered irresponsible. That’s all.

Explain to me how a multimillionaire who wants to help the poor is worse than a multimillionaire who has little interest in helping the poor. And furthermore, that “trial lawyer” was fighting for the poor back then too. You can see most of his legal records around the internet. They’re not a secret.

BUT -I also found out that Fred is pro-choice, which I did not know. I’m a conservative Republican and absolutley pro-life, so, sorry, but Fred will never get my vote… Now I’ve gotta go check out what Romney’s wife looks like, lol

I am a democrat. I was worried about Fred Thompson, have heard him talk some and really liked what I heard. My sisiter a life long republican told me to see Thompson’s wife. I did a web search and now no longer fear him as a republican candidate. Rather than vote for him as president I believe enough voters will vote against his bimbo wife as the first lady. What the hell is going through this old fools mind to marry someone 24 years younger than him. I don’t care I’m a man and all men are sex crazed sex maniacs to some degree whether they admit it or not. Still to me going for a wife 24 years your junior is evidence of a character flaw somewhere. Think it’s a big enough crack to sink his political ship.

Garry, to you who say that pedophiles are a reliable voting bloc for Dems’, I think you got your party wrong. See Mark Foley. As to the rest of you, can you focus on real issues, please? Fred Thompson may be a nice guy with a deep voice and a good looking wife, but he’s an airhead. No distinguishing record in the Senate, made easy money as a lobbyist (including for Libya) and actor. He was relatively moderate in the Senate, but now claims to be Ronald Reagan. Yeah. Like Mitt Romney was a pro-choice governor but really wasn’t now that he’s running as for president. You “conservatives” have gotta stop talking about “morals” and “family values,” because your party and your candidates don’t live them: Foley, Craig, Vitter, Gingrich, Giuliani, and any number of gay Republicans whose hypocrisy has been or is about to be exposed. How dare you jump all over the Clintons, who stayed in their marriage for whatever reasons, but elevate the unfaithful spouses (McCain, Giuliani, and Thompson for sure) to some level of moral superiority. I’m a fan of McCain’s, by the way (was, at least, until he sold himself out on the war), and don’t care about a candidate’s personal life (short of murder), so why don’t you just stop with the facade of “family values”? Please. For the good of the country and taking a political debate and the country with it forward….

What is the big deal about the age difference? I am 62 and it has been done all my life and long before. Does not seem abnormal to me.
Anyone who thinks there is something wrong with that,in my opinion and observations, is a pervert.
Whatever happened to love? Does it not exist? Does everyone in this nation think only in terms of sex? Seems the nation may be comprised of a pervert majority if that is national contemporary thinking and social attitude.
Further, in fairness to Mr. Thompson, consider the difference in height between he and his wife. The photographer would have to stand in a chair to get his face, and then maybe get the top of her head. He is the victim of camera angle. As for Mrs. Thompson, she looks the same in all photos. She is a lovely woman to look at. Wish I could see her in person and look into her face and into her eyes. I think I just might see her soul and see a lovely person inside. Actually, there are people who have eyes you can look into and see their souls. I happen to be one of those. It’s great if your soul is good.

Virginian, you, like so many, are trying to make values a partisan issue. Your side is full of hypocrites. (I am not a Democrat, by the way; neither am I a Republican.) If they don’t walk their talk, no matter the party, they’re jerks. Not worth the vote or the faith they’re getting or claiming. Family values is a joke – spoken and used by those who don’t want to deal with what’s important – jobs, the economy, ethical, trustworthy government, a war that’s destabilized this country and its military, etc.- to divert and distract from what matters, including that those who use “family values” most likely don’t practice them. My point is, your side shouldn’t be putting these candidates of yours you claim to be so great (Giuliani, Thompson, etc.) under the family values banner because they’re adulterers who wouldn’t know “family values” if it bit them in the a##. Why don’t we just shut up about that phony, phantom facade of an issue and talk about what’s important? Because if we do, Republicans will get their clocks cleaned. Again.
a voice of reason
September 15, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Voice of Reason, what got your clock so wound when you responded to me? Your response was so far off base I had to look back to verify you were replying to me.
My use of the word DEMOCRATS, was to illustrate that only Democrats and pseudo-Democrats used the term, “family values” in the entire forum; therefore, there was no basis for identifying that term with Republicans.
I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I am an independent thinker. I agree family values is a useless phrase because hardly anyone knows what it means, otherwise we would not have so much immorality in our country and in the world. Everyone sees morality from a different perspective—just as perfection is in the eye of the beholder. If you know the Holy Bible well, you will know that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. He asked that we strive for perfection—not that we must be perfect. If that could happen by man alone, then the crucifixion and resurrection were for naught.
Don’t get turned off here. My response to you follows this brief message.
If we all knew how to read the Bible and understand it correctly, the only thing left to do would be to live by it. It is just that simple. However, persons without faith cannot possibly understand its words and their meanings. You cannot pick certain verses or chapters and say this is it and it does not agree with that. The Bible is in harmony. The first step is to surrender your will to the will of God so that he may forgive you and give you what we all want—love and salvation. The second is to ask God to open your heart and your mind to receive His message. Reading the Bible once is not enough. I am sure some wonder why we should read it over and over and keep studying it—as I have read and heard so many say, “I read the Bible and …….” Reading and understanding are worlds apart (probably best said as an eternity apart). Reading the Bible with an open heart and open mind allows you to see and understand something different each time you read the same chapter and/or verse, but it never takes away anything—only adds to it. The key word to understanding is faith. Faith is another subject altogether and much too deep to talk about here, right now. Just want to remind you at this point that Christians are still persecuted, even in the country they established to be free of persecution for their Christian beliefs. God does not offer us heaven on earth but a home in heaven for eternity, free of the woes of our current life, if we belong to Him.
By the way, you are barking up the wrong tree. I have my own problems trying to turn my local government into an ethical, trustworthy body of people. Meanwhile, the powerful sneak around back and get the good people voted out of office, and their pick voted in. If I am successful in getting the bad people out, there will be no one to run the government. It is so bad here that no decent person wants to be associated with that governing body. Trust me, good people will be stomped and re-stomped until the politicians believe the good people are dead. Then they have to look over their shoulders for ghosts. Political maneuvering and political games start at the bottom and work up. I’ve worked both ends (federal and local), and know it is worse at the local level. The major difference is the amount of money and the number of people involved. At the local level, the hypocrites are more likely to be recognized because of the small numbers of individuals involved. Of course, there is a better chance of smoozing up and getting on the self-advancing, self-promoting bandwagon. The good ole boys club is formed and they travel in packs. Perhaps that is where the term “family values” got its start; in an effort to make people start off on the right foot and stay there instead of wandering after every Jack, Ted, Bill, Hillary, Giugliani—you get the drift.
I have not made a choice this early in the game. However, if Mark Warner (a Democrat) gets his party’s nod for Senator from Virginia, he will get my vote. Almost voted for him when he ran for governor. A very good governor, I might add.
As far as war (I presume you mean Iraq) de-stabilizing the country, I do not believe it was the war as much as it was individual, loose-mouthed, infidels who don’t have a clue as to what is going on in the background, and who like to give orders to the president and his cabinet as if he/she is the only one with any intelligence or knowledge. (Here is where prayer and faith belong.)
So far, the war in Iraq does not hold a candle to Vietnam. I am old enough to have lived that war day by day.
Don’t know what party my parents favored, as they tried to keep that matter personal. I suspect they were independent thinkers as well even though my mother’s cousin was a Democrat and Governor of Virginia. Her uncles were active in the local Democratic Party. I must add though, there has been an about-face, meaning what formerly was the Democratic Party is now pretty much the Republican Party. So you see, whatever one party is for, the other is against. Just game playing. No sense in being a diehard anything.
I’m just asking you save your rhetoric for someone who deserves it.

Great comment Aristocrat. Keep coming by. I also encourage Voice of Reason and the Virginian to check out the assorted offerings of Conclub. We are a unique multi-ideology blogging community with spirited and respectful debate from all sides.
BTW, Virginians use of the word check was awesome.

Aristocrat, you are highly articulate, and I appreciate your depth of insight. Can’t disagree with much you have to offer.
They’re all hypocrites, by the way; too often, our voting choice is to pick the one[s] we feel are the least hypocritical.
Best,

Fred Thompson is NOT Pro-Choice (what a misnomer!). He is Pro-Life and has held that position for many years.
So his wife is 24 years younger than he is. SO WHAT! They have two beautiful young children and the fact that she is his second wife simply means that his first marriage ended in divorce. Are you telling us that this is a SHOCK, when 50% of the marriages in the USA end in divorce?
Her background is in politics; his background is in politics. I’ve heard that some people actually meet when they have similar interests. What a coincidence!
As far as Nixon saying he was “dumb”, again, SO WHAT! That is a stupid argument for anyone to make, especially Democrats, because by his words and by his actions, Nixon made it very clear that he thought EVERYONE was dumber than he was, especially the Democrats. Remember Watergate? Nixon was a paranoid egomaniac who wiretapped his alleged ‘enemies’ and thought he was smarter than everyone else anyway!
My husband is much older than I am but he is my best friend, sweetheart and companion. We’ve now been married for 25 years, so I no longer qualify as a ‘trophy wife’. Over the years, many people have mistaken me for his daughter and we get a great laugh out of it. Trust me, folks, as I age I have trouble keeping up with him.
People who make judgements about other people’s marriages are really “spitting into the wind”. They can only make guesses, because they don’t live inside the marriage.
As for having a young and beautiful first lady with children in the White House, Jackie Kennedy already proved that America is ready for that. We admired her as First Lady, as a young mother and as a grieving widow. Later, when we discovered the truth about JFK’s infidelities, we admired her loyalty and poise in what had to be a public humiliation. (By the way, she later married a man 23 years older than herself. GASP!)
Oh, and Mariska, about “checking your facts before posting”, Jeri is 41. If you recheck the math in your post, you’ll see that your own figures prove that. Also, Fred was 17 when he married for the first time. How many marriages last for 25 years when they start with a 17 year old groom? Sounds like he stuck around better than most.
I cannot believe that divorce can still be an issue in the 2008 elections, when so many voters have been involved in divorce themselves. Of course, Guiliani (who REALLY IS a supporter of abortion AND gay rights) has been divorced more than the average. In fact, he got caught in a nasty mess while he was in office and now tries to show how devoted he is to his latest wife by taking cell phone calls from her at all high-level speaking engagement and meetings (40 calls so far). Guess he’s going for the devoted husband vote too. And who knows, it may work.
Anything is possible!
Ain’t politics interesting?

Kucinich’s wife is pretty hot too.

Think about this Brennan most Americans do not go to church every Sunday yet we expect our candidates to do so. In general we hold them to a higher standard than ourselves which we probably should but I do agree that it does go too far especially in regards to personal relationships, divorce, infidelity etc. People’s personal lives should be just that. But that’s just the political climate out there.
Folks vote for the person who you think represents your positions on the issues. Maybe I’m too cynical but I tend to believe you can’t trust any of these people so I look for the person who I think will fight for what I believe in. Unless Jesus decides to come back and run for president you’re not going to find a infallible candidate. Sorry just rambling a little … boring work day.
Anyone read “Utopia” by Thomas Moore? Anyone caught running for political office was to be put to death. Keep that in the back of your minds when any of these guys tells you they’re going to turn our country into a “Utopia”

I have read about Thompson’s history of voting, and ethics, and policies, and he seems to be nearly the only one with a solid conservative head on his shoulders across the board. I hope he is our next president.

Mrs Thompson is very hot and it wouldn’t be bad looking at her for 4 years. Unfortunately, her husband might the most over-hyped, unqualified candidate in years. The only reason he is in the race is because there are still people out there who think “W” has done a fantastic job and Fred’s the only one who is willing to tell people that he will continue this debacle. He can get maybe 20% of the Republican vote, so give up Freddy.

Dewey and the rest of the Democrats, get ready. Its time for the U.S. to wake up and realize that the Judges in Washington can be shut down and changed if this country is suppose to be a democracy. We need to change and let them know they are not above the laws that are written and that they can sway or change them to fit their needs.

Fred Thompson is a good actor but no Reagan.
And his wife should not be concidered a tropy wife since she is now a mother.Had she forgone motherhood then that would would have been a different kind of mother.

They both have the same forehead. She could be his daughter. Oh, and she’s not a hottie, he’s just really ugly. It’s like when you turn the contrast up and the brightness down, get over it. She’d be a cheap whore if only they hadn’t made it legal.

Fred just heard you on Fox. Amen, Amen, Amen. I could not agree with you more. Have mercy! it was a blessing to hear someone speak his mind, stand his ground, and defend conservatism as a ideology rather than party politics. I, like millions of others, am sick and tire of this no guts politics. Try to get on TV as much as you can, frown, get angry, and continue to defend you position. Dear Lord I loved it.
