WASHINGTON -- Jeri Thompson, wife of GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson, shakes off the ''trophy wife'' label critics have tagged her with for being 24 years younger than her husband.

''It's hard not to be defensive,'' she told People magazine in her first solo interview. ''To think back on how hard you've worked, and all anybody thinks about is that you're a trophy wife.''

Thompson said: ''I almost think they had to fabricate that trophy-wife stuff because there's nothing interesting to say.'' snip

Years later, she says: ''I was never an older-man-dater kind of girl before.''

5. "because there's nothing interesting to say.''

That's an understatement. Foghorn Freddy is bombing in Iowa according to this article.

NEVADA, Iowa, Oct. 3 — Twenty-four minutes after he began speaking in a small restaurant the other day, Fred D. Thompson brought his remarks to a close with a nod of his head and an expression of thanks to Iowans for allowing him to “give my thoughts about some things.”

Then he stood face to face with a silent audience.

“Can I have a round of applause?” Mr. Thompson said, drawing a rustle of clapping and some laughter.

“Well, I had to drag that out of you,” he said.

8. I keep saying Freddy is running to impress her

He doesn't have the ambition to run for pres of his own accord. I think he's doing it to keep her happy.
