At the National Rifle Association convention in Washington on Friday, Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson managed to squeeze off a round at Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and her husband, Bill, the former president. 

Thompson, 65, introduced his wife, Jeri, who is 24 years younger than him, to the crowd of gun-ownership advocates.

“I don’t know, but I think she’d make a much better first lady than Bill Clinton. What do you think?” Thompson said to appaluse. 

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s wife, Judith, also ended up a feature in his appearance at the NRA convention after Thompson.

Giuliani was deep into a discussion of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Consitution when suddenly his cell phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket while standing at the podium.

“Hello dear,” he said, as NRA members chuckled.

“I’m talking to the members of the NRA right now. Would you like to say hello? I love you, and I’ll give you a call as soon as I’m finished, okay? Okay, have a nice trip,” he told her.
