Who is Theresa to talk about "Un-American" actions. She's already learning from John how to flip flop and lie like a good demo gog..Civility? Laughable.
So you libs start lining up to defend her.
-------------------------------
Teresa calls for civility,
tells reporter 'shove it'
Uses term 'un-American' in speech, aggressively denies it minutes later
In a speech yesterday to her home-state delegates to the Democratic National Convention calling for the restoration of a more civil tone in American politics, she used the term "un-American" to describe the sometimes harsh rhetoric used.
Minutes later, when a journalist from a Pittsburgh paper asked her what she meant by the term "un-American," John Kerry's wife turned angry.
I didn't say that," she said. "You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say that."
Unfortunately for Mrs. Kerry, who sometimes goes by Mrs. Heinz, she did say it – very clearly in the speech recorded on videotape.
"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian – and sometimes un-American – traits that are coming into some of our politics," she told her fellow Pennsylvanians at a reception at the Massachusetts Statehouse.
Minutes later, Colin McNickle, the editorial page editor of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, questioned her on exactly what she meant by the term "un-American." This confrontation, too, was videotaped by WTAE Channel 4 Action News in Pittsburgh.
Repeatedly she insists to McNickle that she did not use the term "un-American." McNickle calmly asks her to explain what she did say, but Mrs. Kerry refused – at one point telling the journalist to go listen to the tape.
After conferring with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and others, Kerry then returned to confront McNickle.
"Are you from the Tribune-Review?" she asked.
"Yes," replies McNickle.
"I thought so," she said. "You said something I didn't say. Now shove it."
The aggressiveness of Mrs. Kerry's return to McNickle is what has some people already buzzing about her temperament. Had a reporter dashed up to Mrs. Kerry the way she lunged toward McNickle, there is an excellent chance the journalist would have been seized by Secret Service agents.
Ironically, the confrontation came immediately following an even-toned speech by Mrs. Kerry to the Pennsylvania delegation – the first to be visited by the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee – about returning civility to American politics.
"I remember a time when people in political parties in Pennsylvania talked to one another and actually got things done," she said, whose first husband, Republican Sen. John Heinz of Pennsylvania, was killed in a plane crash in 1991. "We have to go back to those days when we can do things properly, for the people need it."
"My prayers for you, for me, for the country, for the world, are that we keep this at a high level, with dignity, with respect and with a great idealism and courage that took our forefathers to build this great nation," she said.
Mrs. Kerry acknowledged being nervous about her scheduled speech before the convention in Boston tomorrow night. She said she had to practice "a speech that is written on the TelePrompters, and I'm kind of dreading it, because I am generally unscripted."
Marla Romash, Mrs. Kerry's spokeswoman, told WTAE-TV's Scott Baker, "This was sheer frustration, aimed at a right-wing rag, that has consistently and purposely misrepresented the facts in reporting on Mrs. Kerry and her family."
"The natural family is a man and woman bound in a lifelong covenant of marriage for the purposes of:
*the continuation of the human species,
*the rearing of children,
*the regulation of sexuality,
*the provision of mutual support and protection,
*the creation of an altruistic domestic economy, and
*the maintenance of bonds between the generations."

Just like Cheney telling a senator to go F--- himself..... She probably thinks it needed to be said and feels better about saying it!

But Cheney didn't deny saying what he did. Theresa "THE LIAR" did lie & it is on take. No excuse.

Good for her. Maybe we'll finally have a 1st lady with guts. God, how many blunders has your buddy Bush made? A heck of a lot more than this and a heck of a lot more serious, IMO. She didn't write the speech, she read it from a telepromter. He**, W cannot even speak without tripping over his tongue.
Right-wing rag is right!

BTW, at least those of us on the left haven't stooped to the level of ridiculing good old Laura, Mrs. Dubya, and it's not because there is nothing to ridicule. We have a bit more dignity than that. And if by small chance one of us did, I would never have condoned it. You now have to dig on Mrs. Kerry. What's next? Her children? How pathetic you are.

Cheryl, there were some posts about Laura a while back - were you on vacation or something? I thought them in bad taste, but nevertheless, its a free country!
btw, also think T.Heinz-Kerry is gutzy! I say good for her, too.

Another stupid thread... if you can't talk about the serious issues.. sling the dirt..
But since you have... let me say, it will be wonderful having a gutsy first lady in the white house again.. The only thing I can think of that would be even better, is if it were Hillary as President!!

This shows is Theresa lake of poise under fire, if she can't take criticism, she need to take her un-American azz back to where she was born.
Keep going, none of you have impressed me with you half hearted defense of the Qween of Ketchup.

All you right wing republicans would love the Greensburg Pa. Tribune Review because its a right wing Trash Publication similar to that F word news network you all love so much.
Theresa Heinz Kerry is well respected and loved in Pittsburgh. For years she has done a lot for the working class people in the Pittsburgh Pa area plus all of Pittsburgh in general. Most people in and around Pittsburgh are saying GOOD FOR YOU THERESA, GO-GIRL-GO!!!!! I know because I live near Pittsburgh. So Bear1949 and Twelvetoes you can STUFF IT.
Must have been when I was mentally on vacation! I admire all the first ladies for the crap they have to put up with - even Barbara Bush! They have to do it all with smiling faces and for that they all deserve a hip, hip hooray!

Cheryl, I agree wholeheartedly. Theresa Kerry said if she knew John was signing her up for this when they married...she would have said "forget it"
Crow, you really do have a complusion with spelling errors-dont you?

I saw it on the news today and she clearly did say it and then lie about it and told the reporter to shove it.
It was said that T. Kerry will be on some of the morning news shows tomorrow and undoubtedly she will be asked about her comments. It will be interesting to see how she's going to flip-flop her way out of this one.
IMO, I think more reporters should egg her on and maybe they can get her to tell some to KISS MY ASS or to F@#& OFF.

A careful listen to the tape will indicate that the reporter asked her about her statement regarding "unamerican activities". I think she initially responded to his attempt to alter her words, and got carried away in her denial, as he is someone who has bedeviled her before... She didn't say "activities", he misquoted her. I wish she had been a bit calmer and not allowed a rightist rag's stringer to push her buttons, but I'm just fine with her telling him to shove it.
Just more silly crap from the Repo Men. It's truly amazing how low they and their minions will stoop.

Laura Bush Jokes With Jay Leno
First Lady Laura Bush offered a revealing glimpse into her relationship with her husband during an appearance on the "Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
She said Barbara Bush, her mother-in-law, once warned her to "never criticize George's speeches." She took the advice "until one night we were driving into our driveway and he said, 'Tell me the truth. How was my speech?' And I said, 'Well, it wasn't that good.' And with that he drove into ... the garage wall," she said.
There are, of course, only two conclusions that can be drawn from this anecdote. Either Bush's skin is much thinner than we've been led to believe, or his drinking problem is much worse than we've been led to believe.
Let's have a BBQ, Texas style, ROAST BUSH

Crow, youve already proved you had a lobotomy but in your case a it was performed by a proctologist and called a hemorrhoidectomy

Never happen, B Clinton left all his brains allover Monica's dress. AND is isn't eligible for the office of VP since he served (?) 2 terms as President.
