Scarborough Pole Dances Around Racy Comment

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough is under fire for making a salacious on-air comment, insinuating that the wife of former Senator and "Law & Order" star Fred Thompson is a stripper. *Dun dun!*

During a discussion about strip tease and pole dancing as a form of exercise, Scarborough brought up Thompson's wife, Jeri Kehn, who is 25 years younger than Thompson, and asked "You think she works the pole?" Somewhere Don Imus is smiling!

MSNBC is sticking to their claim that the remark was not sexual in nature and merely a reference to a popular exercise routine. She looks like she works the pole to us!

46. Stripper...no. Gold digger...yes. I sure hope she doesn't become first lady. She'd get more attention than him.

49. Who cares? He's running for President not her. Just because one person is much older than the other that doesn't mean they can't actually be in love. If you want to be disgusted at something be digusted at the parents in Afganistan who sell their 12-16 year old daughters to 60+ men. Some of the girls commit suicide rather than marry the men.
I've known a lot of strippers and , contrary to what you might believe, they are very lonely and honest people, unless they're strung out on drugs. This saying his wife is a stripper is total BS, I believe, but even if it's true so what? I've almost always dated younger women and they don't like men their age because ,they say ,the guys simply don't have it together or lack the confidence an older guy does. I'm not nearly as old as he is thou and only middle class but it never is about money or publicity. I have never played games, am as honest as i can be and take time to listen to things that concern the woman and the woman is moved because, they say, most men would maybe laugh it off as trivial, but if it's important to them its important to me. Point is, there's a lot more to a younger woman dating and marrying older men and saying it's just because of money or fame is ignorant! I don't find anything wrong with this couple at all but seeing 8,000 year old Hugh Hefner hobbling around the Playboy mansion with 20 year old's is another story--ewwwwww!

51. I think his first divorce happended years ago. I think his wife looks good but I wouldn't consider her a hottie. She is 40 yrs old, not in her twenties so I don't know why so many posters thinks so poorly of her. We don't even know her.
I'm hoping Thompson runs & I want more info on his views. He does seem like a forthright person.
As for Scarborough, I like him & he is quite objective. He had a little slip of the tongue as we all do. This PC crap is getting tiresome. I stopped watching Imus because I got sick of his
insults towards people but he shouldn't have gotten fired. Scarborough is definitely not Imus & I'm thankful for that.

53. #46, get a clue. This bimbo is hanging on this older than dirt moron because he has money. Would she even give this old jerk the time of day if he didn't have money? Of course not, so don't be applauding his manhood, there isn't any, just money. He looks like he has one foot in the grave, what a gross looking couple, ugh. And no, it is not only him running for President, whoever is hanging on his arm may be first lady, and that should be a serious consideration. this jerk doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting anywhere, though, so I won't be wasting my time worrying if we may have a bimbo for first lady. Unfortunately, there are other candidates with bimbo taste in women, and those I WILL worry about. Family values, Republicans? What a bunch of hypoicrites.

60. For those of you that are so sure Jeri is a trophy wife- have any of you even bothered to do any research about who she is? Or is it just more fun to sit and take cheap shots- thank God none of you are out there being judged! To set the record straight- Jeri Kehn was a political media consultant at the Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, and McPherson law firm in Washington, D.C. She has been a proven assest to the Republican party in DC for years. She is smart and focused- she could end up being one of the best First Ladies we have ever had.She also worked for the Senate Republican Conference and the Republican National Committee.

Whether you are going to vote for Fred or not- unless you are ready to put yourself out there for this kind of trashing- at least exercise your brain long enough to perhaps know what you are talking about.
