   I hope he gets it, it will be great for the DNC

   The Devil Wears Prada & the Devil Wears Prada II
   Jeri Kehn Thompson gets a nickname
   From Roll Call’s Heard On The Hill:
   “The Devil Wears Prada” isn’t just a fun beach read or an entry on your Netflix queue (we won’t tell anyone, we promise). Instead, it’s how some insiders are referring to the not-quite-campaign of presidential wannabe and former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.). According to a Republican consultant, some female staffers on the Thompson campaign have taken to referring to the operation as “The Devil Wears Prada II,” comparing the campaign to the movie and Thompson’s wife, Jeri, to the lead character played by Meryl Streep.
   You’ll remember (oh, admit it, you watched it) that Streep plays a rhymes-with-witch tyrant who runs a fictional fashion magazine with an iron hand and antagonizes underlings with an impossible-to-please attitude.
   According to HOH’s in-the-know source, some of the female campaign staffers “refer to it as ‘The Devil Wears Prada II’ because of all of the demands [Jeri Thompson makes], what she wears, [the fact that, in terms of temperament] she’s up and down. That’s the gist of it.”
   “You never know how she’s going to be every day,” the source adds. “When she clacks her high heels in the hallway, [staffers] all go scrambling” in an attempt to stay out of her way — and clear of her wrath.
   Ug. Just what we don’t need in the White House

   Please, please, please, please GOP, please continue further entrenching yourself as the party of angry ol’ Southern white males.
