Fred Thompson Flies First Class From RNC, Wife Sits In Coach

Washington Post:

A star-spangled Fred Thompson, the former presidential candidate, and his wife, Jeri, flew back from St. Paul to Washington today -- he in first class, she in coach; he in a red, white and blue top hat, she hatless.

Nothing says 'convention' like a huge, American top hat.

Thompson, who spoke Tuesday night at the GOP convention, was spotted at the gate of his Northwest flight in the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport wearing a "huge" American flag-themed top hat, according a reliable Sleuth informant who took the same flight. You know the hat, the kind you often seen on the floor at political conventions -- like this one.

Whyyyy... what do, I say... boy... I say whatta ya do when ya want ta hunt up some new trophy hen, boy!

His wife is a young attractive professional woman. What is she doing with this hideous old monotone bore. I'm 60 years old, and I think he is just repulsive. Well, I guess she knows something that has been kept well hidden from the rest of us.

[johnfoirdfw]

What does she know and when did she know it?

[wndrwrthg]

What one would expect.

A class act...

A gentleman would have offered the first class seat to his wife, As for him needing the extra space, let him spring for an additional seat in first class for her then. He can afford it.

I hope she hoses him in the divorce...

I wouldn't care if he handcrafted a marble throne and personally installed it in first class just for his wife, I still find him extremely unlikable and untrustworthy and wouldn't support him for any political office if my life depended on it.

Just the way Republicans like their women, subservient. Just like their latest little private dancer.

She is lucky that she wasn't in the luggage compartment- just sexual baggage...

[VeroucaSalt]

The gentlemanly thing to do would be to offer his first-class seat to his wife's neighbor so he could sit beside his wife. So much for gentlemanly.

[darthdarcy]

Republicans are so weird..!

Truly a perverse bunch..

[gcallaghan]

Does anybody else think the rest of the people in coach chipped in and got him a seat on the other side of the curtain so they wouldn't have to listen to him for 4 hours?

[PAposter]

I say, I say!

Yup! Yup!

[VOTER]

Where else would an airline put a "Walking Coma?"

[PAposter]

ROTFLMAO!

[rwe]

pretty sexist don't ya think? Hey she did not book originally and you can't switch seats...

[SouthernYankeeBelle]

[Dave01]

MCCAIN-PALIN=BRIDGE TO HELL

Honey, didn't you know the GOPERS only use women as a tool and for play, other then that they simply don't need them.
