		<description>If Arnold could run for President, do you think the NYT or the LAT would be saying the same about Maria???  I have my serious doubts.  

Also, America has already had it&#039;s trophy wife 1st lady.  Wasn&#039;t Hillary just a trophy wife??  I heard that every morning when Bill wakes up next to Hill, he quotes Peter Boyle from Everybody Loves Raymond.  &quot;Trophy wife!!!  What Contest in hell did I win!&quot;. =))  His comedic genius is seriously missed.  God Love You Peter.  - Lorica</description>

		<description>Maybe the right-o-sphere should start referring to Michelle Obama as his trophy wife. She&#039;s pretty. The fact that she is a Harvard degreed lawyer is of no consequence, of course.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The question may seem sexist, even crass, but serious people — as well as Mr. Thompson&#039;s supporters — have been wrestling with the public reaction to Jeri Kehn Thompson, whose youthfulness, permanent tan and bleached blond hair present a contrast to the 64-year-old man who hopes to win the hearts of the conservative core of the Republican party. Will the so-called values voters accept this union?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ah, here it is. The classic journalistic ploy. Note the reference to &quot;serious people.&quot; They aren&#039;t named. We don&#039;t know how many of these serious people exist or who they are.

And then, of course, we have the appearance of the ever-so-useful phrase &quot;so-called,&quot; as in &quot;so-called values voters.&quot; We are asked to ponder whether these people, whoever they are, will &quot;accept the union.&quot; Accept the union? Good grief. They&#039;re married. What the heck are these &quot;so-called values&quot; voters to do, go up to Fred Thompson and say, &quot;I reject your union!&quot;? 

And who&#039;s making the call here, anyway? Who&#039;s deciding who these &quot;values&quot; voters are? What&#039;s a values voter? I have values; I vote. Do I fit? Danged if I know.

Then, of course, we have the sexist &quot;bleached blonde hair.&quot; The implication here, of course, is that any woman who dares to lighten her hair is a bimbo.

What a craptastic piece of journalism.

		<description>On a related note, Mitt Romney&#039;s being a Mormon, is one of the main attacks the left is pushing. When you&#039;re reduced to complaining about his putting his dog in a roof carrier 20 years ago, you realize how little there is to comment on. 

I&#039;ll take this opportunity to say, I&#039;d vote for Romney in a heartbeat too. I&#039;ve had a close relationship with one Mormon family, a guy who used to work for me. I hired him again at a new job after we both had been laid off from our old ones. He, and his family, were hands down the most honest, hard working, ethical, moral, and genuinely nice and helpful people I&#039;d ever met. He was whip smart, spoke fluent Japanese, played piano at a concert level, and had almost gotten a PhD in physics. I was around him enough to see that a lot of these characteristics were supported by his faith. Granted there are hypocrites in every religion, but he didn&#039;t just talk the talk.

I see similar attributes in Romney, he appears to have a great family life, has been married to the same woman for decades, all things that once again speak to character, so naturally he must be destroyed with allegations of misconduct.</description>

		<description>This is once again part and parcel of the &quot;soft&quot; racism/sexism/homophobia of the left. A black politician or judge or cabinet member, etc. is a credit to their race unless they leave the liberal plantation and think for themselves, and, God forbid, espouse conservative values and thinking (like Rice and Thomas). They they are &quot;house n****rs&quot; and such. Same for homosexuals, they are to be treated as a preferred group, unless they happen to be Republicans or conservatives, then their sexuality is fair game. Now we see the same thing wrt women. I guess only fat, hairy lesbians (Rosie?) need apply. The Dems have certainly shown their deep commitment to women&#039;s rights in their constant assault on Islamic abuses...wait, that&#039;s right, they support the Islamists.

I think the fact that Fred&#039;s ex&#039;es all have good things to say about him speaks volume to that most important of attributes for a candidate, character. Unlike Bubba Clinton, Fred is not a date rapist and serial philanderer, he doesn&#039;t have women trying to sue him for harassment and rape. His former beau&#039;s all still like him. Believe me, I know how rare that is, everyone knows that seldom do your ex&#039;es have good things to say about you. 

But considering the fact that Fred hasn&#039;t even announced, the fact the liberal press and politicians are going after him shows how much they fear his populist and character driven approach. The fact they have to resort to the kind of juvenile, unproven slander we&#039;ve seen so far shows just how desperate and dirty the Dems are, and how clean a candidate Fred would be. 

Run Fred, run! **==</description>

		<description>I linked to Powerline&#039;s take on Sulzberger.  Powerline called John Kerry a trophy husband.  Their case is pausible.  Terresa Heinz Kerry just happened to collect United States senators as husbands.

I mean how far does Pinch want to push the spouse game.  Tell me if an am wrong, but would not most American women feel more comfortable with a candidate with Jeri Thompson for a wife than one with B.J Clinton for a husband?</description>
