Scarborough has an “Imus moment”


Presidential candidate Fred Thompson’s second-and-current wife Jeri, who is considered by some to be a “trophy wife,” was the topic of an interesting conversation on Friday’s Morning Joe radio talk show, which aired live on MSNBC. During a rather suggestive segment, Scarborough asked Congressional Quarterly writer Craig Crawford if Thompson’s wife, who is twenty-five years his junior, “works the pole.”

Here’s the video (transcript below):

SCARBOROUGH: Have you seen Fred Thompson’s wife?
CRAWFORD: Oh, yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: You think she thinks she works the pole?
CRAWFORD: That’s what a Hollywood career will do for you, I guess.
SCARBOROUGH: What do you mean?
CRAWFORD: You get wives like that.
SCARBOROUGH: I mean, look at that guy. God bless him, I love his voice. But I mean, you know. He ain’t Robert Redford in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”
CRAWFORD: Well I would like to see him back into politics because I think he’s a lousy actor.

We’re not exactly sure what Scarborough is suggesting - there are a few interpretations and we’ll leave those to you - but we are sure that MSNBC doesn’t need another Don Imus-like mess on their hands.
