And my birthday is a day before Jeri Thompson’s. But I don’t “get” Jeri or Donna. Guess I missed out on Libra training. And I had no idea that how I look was the reason why I’m so misunderstood. Or that I’m misunderstood. Thanks Donna!
Bill Hobbs says that “the portrayal of Jeri Thompson by the New York Times and other elite national media as a “trophy wife” is completely off the mark”.
In the first article, the Times reports that the question of “Is America ready for a president with a trophy wife?” has already been raised elsewhere, and they call the question “a less palatable inquiry”.
In the second article, the issue of her being or not being a “trophy wife” is raised by a Republican: “Jack M. Burkman, a Republican strategist and lobbyist, said that Mrs. Thompson, 40, had gone from being caricatured as a trophy wife to being caricatured as an overweening micromanager.”
It was through the Times that I learned of Jeri Thompson’s politial qualifications. The idea that she is a “trophy wife” didn’t come from the New York Times.
Hey, Lesley, I don’t get you either. (Did you try reading my full comment at Hobbs’s place before commenting?) Maybe you have some personal planets in nearby signs Virgo and Scorpio and only the sun in Libra. That’s common and reflects the complex personality/essence and marks a different presentation from, say, a girl like me who has four planets in a stellium in Libra — a concentration that makes me pretty Libran, and, in my case, is factored with a radical, unconventional, detached, future-oriented, socially conscious rising sign (Aquarius), so one has to take a natal chart as a whole to get the full picture. Sun sign astrology is accurate in only the most general sense. (I learned to cast and read charts in classes taught by licensed astrologers in Atlanta. It is very interesting.)
I have noticed that a number of Tennessee bloggers were born under the sign of Libra. Would be interesting to take a count and see if it is a disproportionate and significant representation.
As for the “looks” comment, Libra is known for birthing some of the most beautiful women in the zodiac. These females are often judged by (and underestimated because of) their looks. As are we all. If you missed out in the looks department, Lesley, refer to what I wrote above.

Awesome. Brittney reads Hobbs so I don’t have to.

I did a search on the NYTImes.com site for “trophy wife” and “Thompson”, and since 1981, they’ve published a total of two articles in which “trophy wife” has appeared along with Fred Thompson.
