I guess it's not important that a future first lady may be mentally unbalanced.
It's been a long, strange trip indeed for Teresa Heinz Kerry.
Less than 30 years ago, she was a rabid Republican, the wife of another senator, trashing Ted Kennedy as a "perfect bastard" and the Democratic Party as "putrid."
Last night, she shared the dais with Teddy Boy – who turns out to be her new husband's biggest (in terms of girth as well as enthusiasm) cheerleader.
When I first reported that Teresa Heinz Kerry was behind the funding of radical causes including Act-Up, Islamist jihadists, anarchists who disrupted the Seattle World Trade Organization meeting and communist front groups, I knew she was wacky.
What shocked me, however, was the fact no one seemed to care that some of those same non-profit groups, funded by Heinz money, were at the forefront of planned demonstrations and disruptions at the Republican National Convention later this summer.
Just imagine if Pat Nixon was directing charity funds toward the demonstrators at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Would that be a scandal? Yes, it would. It might have been bigger than Watergate. Yet, Evita Heinz Kerry gets away with it. All she needs to do is plead ignorance to the fact that millions of her directed charity dollars go to a foundation funding such groups and hundreds of others like them.
But all that is in the theoretical realm. We can look at the cold facts of Teresa Heinz Kerry's misguided philanthropy, but what does it really tell us about the person?
I think a much better glimpse into the personality of Evita Heinz Kerry came last weekend.
She gave a speech in Boston to Pennsylvania delegates, urging civility in political discourse. She was reasonable. She was articulate. And she was obviously scripted carefully.
"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 said.
Nothing wrong with that. But, a few minutes later, when asked politely by a reporter about use of the term "un-American," Evita blew a gasket.
"I didn't say that," she said. "You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say that."
But she very clearly did say it – despite the angry and frequent denials. Like the speech itself, this unbelievable confrontation with Colin McNickle, the editorial page editor of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 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."
Now much of the controversy over this incident has focused on the words "shove it." And that's as it should be. But why so little attention on the brain malfunction that led to it?
She gave a speech. She used a phrase. She was asked about it minutes later by a journalist. She not only denied using it, she insulted and verbally abused the questioner.
Not only that, she went back for seconds – lunging at the reporter in a way that would be considered threatening had the show been on the other foot.
Let me make this simple: This woman is nuts. She's certifiable. And she may be the most influential person in the life of the next president.
Great piece. This guy's dead on target on Ms. Looneytunes.
In all fairness to the Mozambiquan, are there any Democrats at this convention that aren't insane?
we've suffered 8 years at the hands of the nuttiest first lady since eleanor roosevelt. let's not give hillary any competition please
Ping
She's bringing a spark to the DNC. She's their Obe Wan Kenobe. She's their only hope.
kerry's wife is not the only one that is NUTS!!!! kerry and almost all the demoCommiecRAT perty are UNHINGED to say the least!!!!
kerry admits his treasonous behavior to Congress, 22 April, 1971. below:
kerry, testimony before Congress, 22 April, 1971, kerry says, "I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government,...."*(not on any authorised mission by the U.S. Government or by the U.S. military, kerry and his VVAW group meets and negotiates with the then enemy).
*excerpted from the Official U.S. Congressional Record dated 22 April, 1971.
"revamp the U.S. military", read as kerry's plan to PURGE the U.S. Military of Pro U.S. Military Veterans and Republicans, make it totally dependant on U.N. forces support for any significant achievement capable military(similar to france,germany, etc.), Turn home based U.S. Armed Forces, Intelligence agencies and Law Enforcement agencies into the democratic party's{including CPUSA and DSA} Praetorian Guard!!!!
kerry stabbed U.S. in the back continually since his return from Viet Nam. How much more backstabbing from this 22 April, 1971 testimony(self confessed traitor) before Congress that he(kerry) met with the then enemy in Paris, are we supposed to stand????

We know exactly why.
I totally agree with this assessment. I did not know until last night after Teresa Kerry gave her nutso speech last night at the Democrat Convention that she had demanded a prime time slot to speak to the delegates there. This is actual scary. The fact that John Kerry allowed this lunatic stage time is frightening. Her speech was consumed with herself and her "make nice only" solution to the all troubles of the world including the murderous and evil ones! My real fear is that this woman has strong input to John Kerry because she controls his purse strings. If she is preaching that she will become the next co-president, along with her husband, then the USA is in very deep trouble! God help America!
I doubt she's nuts. She's probably just another lying, self-absorbed, filthy-rich elitist who thinks the sun rises and falls on her elevated rearend.
Hi JohnHuang2!!
So, tell me, what are the dems going to do with THIS loose canon?
And, don't you think she'd make a marvelous running mate for Hillary?
Nancee
Did JeffinKerry put something in her vodka before she read her "demoracticly censored speech" tonight?
Elizabeth Edwards angrily justified the foul mouth language coming from Whoopie and her friends at Radio City Music Hall.
She then demanded the reporter to whom she made the comments NOT release the tape.
That's right. Let's have more of TerAYzah, lots more.
A spark, next to the tired, dried out ideas of Jimmy Carter, and the probably highly flammable person of Ted Kennedy, might constitute a Weapon of Self Destruction.
These bozos are destined for failure and they all know it, otherwise we wouldn't have the media discrediting themselves by their worship of him.
This is the condiment convention - Curry & Ketchup - what do you expect? She is a loud mouthed, uncontrollable nut who is destined to give Curry lots of headaches between now and November
And, don't you think she'd make a marvelous running mate for Hillary?
hehehe, you read my mind, didn't ya? ;-)
You see, with Dims in control, they'll do the thinking for you.
All one needs to do is shut up, read the label and pay your salary to the state.
Well done. ;)
LOL! Yes, I believe it could.
Huh? Convention-season burnout, or is this guy not a native English speaker?
Whoops, not enough sleep, I guess - I see now that changing a single letter makes it a cliched, but intelligible, phrase. Apologies to the author.
Could the ear hear, or the eye see?
Not only English, but King Jame's English.
Who's King Jame? And does he have a show on his foot?
I don't know too many people in public life who wouldn't like to tell some reporter or another to 'shove it'. She just went and did it. I don't know that that makes her certifiable.
Right. I punctuated grammarical equilibrium, I did. Not Jame nor Jane but James and only one.
Maybe she's having an Alzhimers moment?????????
Well, now I'm as muddled as TeRAYza :-).
The wife looks at Terezaaaaaaa and has said several times that she looks like she's on Prozac, etc. SOMETHING is not right with her, after all, she married Herman Munster! WTF over?
That is just a tiny wee bit of it. In the case here, the english is more germanlike, with the most important part of the verbs left until the very end. Suspense builds.
She can't be VP or President, she's not native born (Thank God).
On the other hand, let me more before posting wake up. My mouth shoe shows.
Not only that, she went back for seconds – lunging at the reporter in a way that would be considered threatening had the show been on the other foot."
No offense, but I find it hard to believe that a political reporter, or editor of a newspaper for that matter, might feel "verbally abused" (even if the "show" was on the other foot). Sounds like some girlie-man hoping to keep his options open for a future lawsuit.
Be sure to brush your teeth!

"I NEED HELP! WHERE'S MY DEPENDS WHEN I NEED THEM?"
Spell-check ok'd it.......
(just a simple misplaced finger, one to the left)
;^)
No you're homophones ... ore yew get two look silly!
Scary Terry.
A weak President who can be swayed by others around him can be lethal to this country. John Kerry must be defeated. We must do all in our power to defeat this weak man! The future of America, Americans and our freedom is at stake. The good news is that very few Americans are watching this farce. It makes one wonder whether all the hype from the media and Democrats about people hating GW Bush is true. if this was so, millions of Bush haters would be watching! This is a failed convention!
The Spelling Chequer:
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar writ
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
Teresa is merely the face of what the Democrats have become: the lunatics are running our country's oldest political party. The voters would do well to keep their likes as far as possible from the levers of power.
I think she was definitely sedated last night when she gave her speech - she looked wasted. And did you hear her say that if "John" is elected, "global climate patterns will be reversed"? We laughed so hard here that we were choking on our drinks!! That is one helluva claim! And I thought the fact that he says he can create 10 million manufacturing jobs was something!
