Kellyanne Fitzpatrick (Conway) has been romantically linked to Senator Fred Thompson.

[trof]

"The romances of the new breed of GOP women, however, can be seen as strategic alliances, increasing their name recognition and broadening their base of support. Kellyanne Fitzpatrick has been romantically linked to Senator Fred Thompson. April Lassiter even crossed party lines to go on a date with George Stephanopoulos. And the frontman of her band, Joe, is Joe Scarborough, a congressman from Florida."

"Early in her political career, when she was a fixture of the D.C. Republican landscape, you wouldn’t have figured Kellyanne Fitzpatrick (as she was then named) for someone who would be hanging out with the Attila-like conqueror of the Republican Establishment.

Known formally as the founder of her own polling company (after an apprenticeship with top GOP pollster Richard Wirthlin), she was a regular on the talk-show circuit, and something of a Beltway social star and fashion plate, the sort of person who was “romantically linked” with big-time GOP pols like the late Senator Fred Thompson (a client, as it happens).

Fred Thompson was only 42 years older than she was then.
Eeeeewwwwww

1. Makes me think of an Adam Sandler line...

From Big Daddy. Something about "old balls."

[trof]

2. More:

Conway’s next bout of national fame occurred in 2012, when she was frequently in the news defending another client, Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, after his self-destructive comments opposing a “rape” exception for a hypothetical abortion ban on grounds that women’s bodies had mysterious ways of avoiding conception in cases of “legitimate rape.”

24. X2. That woman has very little self-worth.

4. Don't care.

[C_U_L8R]

5. Figures.

The bejowled Fred Thompson was also plastered across TV
hawking reverse mortgage ripoffs that preyed on the elderly.

Attractive guy.... to a rightwing loon like Conway.

[Hortensis]

6. She's specialized in advising Republican men on how to reach out

to conservative women.

No opinion on Thompson, although in reading about her past, besides the romantic insinuations, Perky has a long history of business associations with slimy right-wing operators and even ended up marrying one.

Today I was so irritated with her scummy, opportunistic lie-sharing with Chuck Todd, though, that I did wonder how many men an amoral person with her unfortunate clientele of contemptuous right-wing knuckledraggers might have slept with for business development.

[CTyankee]

19. "Perky"

Exactly the correct definition of her style...

May god forgive me, I do SO love this kind of gossip!

[Hortensis]

22. God may, but the cloud will never forget.

I was too irritated to take it to a friend's house.

[SticksnStones]

7. I thought she is married

To this guy

9. He reminds of the bartender character on the old Jackie Gleason show...n/t

[TexasBushwhacker]

12. Crap, she's only 49?

She doesn't look a day over 60. I guess a wicked heart ages you.

[SticksnStones]

17. Lying makes the wrinkles come faster nt

[BigDemVoter]

8. Ewwwwwww. . . .

[UMTerp01]

10. I legit thought he died nt

[uncle ray]

11. so did she.

[jberryhill]

13. Didn't he? And here I just found out about Merle Haggard

[Gidney N Cloyd]

14. Last fall. His face just flashed by on the EMMY awards retrospective.

[JI7]

15. other than just being personally grossed out this is a non issue

as the people involved were single at the time.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. oh, there's a mental image I didn't need.

[onenote]

18. I think your math is off

She was born in 1967
He was born in 1942.

Twenty five year difference. Sure that's a pretty good gap, but nowhere near 42 years.

[trof]

21. woops

[GOLGO 13]

20. She's younger than me? LOL!

[calguy]

28. Don't feel bad

Almost everyone is younger than me!!!!!!

[Kathy M]

23. Okay ..... Wonder who else present day ........

[TheBlackAdder]

25. That's right around his role in "Hunt for Red October." He was a warthog back then too.

[CBGLuthier]

26. Thompson is dead. I know because they got those hacks Winkler and Sellick pushing

reverse mortgages since he died and had to stop.

[SomethingNew]

27. This isn't the kind of attack I'd expect to see on DU.

I thought we were above going after women for things like this.

[PJMcK]

31. This x100^^^^^^^

There are plenty of legitimate issues to use to criticize Kellyanne Conway. The Clinton Campaign has more than enough ammunition to win this war without attacking her past love life. If the story of an affair is true-- and I really don't care-- it's irrelevant because they were both single at the time.

When we raised our son, we taught him that no one can help with whom they fall in love. My ex-wife and I intended to teach him about accepting same-sex and interracial relationships but I think the lesson applies here.

We're all Democrats. We're better than they are. Let's act like it.

[WhiteTara]

29. ...

eww that is just nasty. She truly has NO moral compass and is at best a whore.

[deathrind]

30. What does this have to do...

... with anything?!?!

SMH.

[louis-t]

32. ewwwwwwwwwww, eww, ewww

[Historic NY]

33. She's into necrophilia........

[Vinca]

34. Now how do I get that image out of my head??????

[bigwillq]

35. Cool.

Their bodies, their business.
