From AP:
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….
Thompson, 41, says she met her future husband at a Nashville supermarket on July 4, 1996, a few years before she moved to Washington. To hear her tell it, the then-U.S. senator from Tennessee was standing in line with a can of beanie weenies and half a premade tuna fish sandwich.
"I looked at him and just said, 'I'm so sorry,'" Thompson says, adding that he carried her groceries to the car, and she invited him to a friend's party that night.
Years later, she tells People: "I was never an older-man-dater kind of girl before."

Was it around the holidays when she met him and she was sampling all the beer and wines?
My Mom (close to the age of the Gerbil) thinks he is an old guy and most women her age won't have anything to do with this "old fart", she can't figure it out either.
Ewww, way too old!
My granny (who would only date a man under 80) said its obviously for the old mans cash, he was able to purchase said trophy wife.
