TERESA TELLS REPORTER TO 'SHOVE IT'
Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic nominee John Kerry, told a reporter to 'shove it' on Sunday evening -- immediately after giving a speech calling for a more civil tone in politics.
Speaking to the Pennsylvanian delegation at the statehouse in Boston, Heinz Kerry delivered an impassioned plea against hate politics:
"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics."
"I remember a time when people in political parties in Pennsylvania talked to one another and actually got things done. 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."
According to multiple sources who attended the event, Heinz Kerry upon finishing the speech pushed her way through the Secret Service to get to Pittsburgh Tribune Review reporter, Colin McNickle. Upon getting to Mcnickle, Heinz Kerry asks, 'Are you from the Tribune Review' Mcnickle says, 'Yes, I am.'
At this point and in an irritated fashion Heinz Kerry says, 'Of course, understandable. You said something I didnt say. Now Shove it!'
Tape of the incident is being edited to air on Pittsburgh's WTAE-TV, and, according to a media source, ABC NEWS is set to run with it thereafter.
A witness of the incident said reporters were "stunned" by Heinz Kerry's outburst, especially in light of the speech she had just given.
Developing...
"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 is ALWAYS saying this and I am damn tired of it!!!
Class, pure class.
H!llary in '08. Terry McAuliffe, you'll get your way yet.
She's just plain weird. Sometimes I question her grasp of the English language, too. A perfect bride of Frankenkerry.
Over here...
where do i sign up for more of their values?
How so predictable.. Colin McNickle is the Trib's editorial page boss, and a good one. I posted his weekly column earlier, and I have no doubt that Terrrayyyzzzaaa is LYING!.
Ah, but you don't understand. Ms. Heinz Kerry is only concerned about little people being less than civil toward her. She is not at all concerned about the rich (albeit inherited wealth because she, like her current husband, is a gold-digger) being less than civil toward those who are neither rich nor famous.
Oh but Jenna Bush sticking her tongue out at reporters is FAR worse! /sarcasm
Just keep following Terror-A-Zuh around...I knew this would happen, since she was let out of her cage. Will they "lock her up" again?
Don't miss this, it is getting good!
what's he doing? rolling a joint?
She doesn't exactly have an American accept herself.
These Dems are such a delight. They are psychotic with projection. If they are compaining about it, you can be sure they are doing just that thing.
They howl about questioning their patriotism , when no one has said it , but any one eyed idiot can see they hate America.
They c/o about Conservatives being rascist and then they run the whitest campaign anyone has seen since the 1950's.
Typical democrat: do as I say, not as I do. They can preach to everyone else, but it doesn't apply to them. You can bet that if they are preaching it, they are the ones that are the violators of whatever it is that they are saying
Don't miss this!
Civil political tones are for the little people.
Excellent....cant wait to see this one...maybe thats why she looked so pissed at the Yankees-Sox game tonight
I heard Drudge talk about it. This is getting fun.
Charming. Just charming. Clearly she's showing off her recently acquired skills as a contemporary graduate of the Hillary Clinton School of Political Etiquette.
LOL... I was just over there.
Know anything about this?
It is Theresa...
Of course, Drudge screwed it up as well. cough cough
I sure wish I'd heard about this earlier...I could have seen it on WTAE.
This picture is from the Yahoo collection; someone hung around Kerry and took pictures of him way back when. When he lost an election, he took to building model planes. Really. That's what the caption for this photo said.
Perfect democrat wife. Do as I say, not as I do, for I am better than you are! It is the other party who are the uncivil ones you know! Sheesh!
I say let her speak more often....I love it. She's nutty!
Oops...just checked..actually, it is Teresa
Is this the way a first lady should behave? The pickle queen is nothing but a two faced snob and I wish she had said that to me. She wouldn't have known what hit her.
She strikes me as trash that inherited money.
Heinz Kerry Tells Reporter to 'Shove It'
Teresa Heinz Kerry Calls for More Civil Tone in Politics, Then Tells Reporter to 'Shove It'
The Associated Press
BOSTON July 25, 2004 — Teresa Heinz Kerry urged her home-state delegates to the Democratic National Convention to restore a more civil tone to American politics, then minutes later told a newspaperman to "shove it."
"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics," the wife of Sen. John Kerry told her fellow Pennsylvanians on Sunday night at a Massachusetts Statehouse reception.
Minutes later, Colin McNickle, the editorial page editor of the conservative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, questioned her on what she meant by the term "un-American," according to a tape of the encounter recorded by Pittsburgh television station WTAE.
Heinz Kerry said, "I didn't say that" several times to McNickle. She then turned to confer with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and others. When she faced McNickle again a short time later, he continued to question her, and she replied, "You said something I didn't say. Now shove it."
The Pennsylvania delegation was the first to be visited by the wife of Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee. Before her encounter with McNickle, she criticized the tenor of modern political campaigns, without being specific.
Vice President Dick Cheney recently came under criticism for using a four-letter obscenity in an exchange with Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on the Senate floor. He later was unapologetic about the remark, saying: "I felt better after I said it."
It depends on what the meaning of "we" is.
It just keeps getting BETTER and BETTER!
It just keeps getting BETTER and BETTER!
WOW .. what did the reporter write??? *L*
Check this one out!!!!!!
HIGH WATER ALERT!
Did he pretend to fly them into model skyscrapers?
Just kidding! It's a joke!
Did he?
This is the first I heard of it.
Gee! Is it possible Mrs. Catsup is a nasty old bitch? I wish she'd say this to lttle danny rather.
lol...the AP even quotes her as saying Un-American and then quotes Teresa saying she didn't say it....lol
His ego is WAAAYYY too big to fit into a model plane. He really does look like a dork on that picture, though.
Well, well, well...
fyi
