Mrs. Heinz-Kerry
You know, Teresa Heinz-Kerry is really behaving quite differently from any other presidential candidate spouse that I can remember.
She has absolutely no class. She has told a reporter to 'shove it' (can you imagine *any* former first lady saying something like that during her husband's campaign?)
She has yelled at President Bush's supporters that they want "Four more years of Hell!"
And now, she is complaining that Bush Supporters in Sedalia, Missouri are not being nice to the Kerry Campaign and claims that Democrats would be nice to Laura Bush.
would like to say to all of you that if Laura Bush was here I'd say 'hello' politely to her and I'd expect all Democrats to do that too. This is a free country and in a free Democratic country we have our opinions but we respect other people's place. So enjoy your democracy, enjoy your democracy.
And wtf does she mean by 'enjoy your democracy?" What a strange way to speak.
Well, Mrs. Kerry-Heinz, Laura Bush would never tell anyone to shove it. She would never scream "Four more years of Hell" about a political opponent's term of office.
Do read the whole article on CNN, and also note how Little John (Edwards) says that Democrats would never shout down an opponent. And he most condescendingly instructed protesters to use "Good Missouri manners".
Apparently the Eastern Johns think that those of us in the middle of the country are stupid rubes who don't read, don't listen to the radio and don't watch TV - otherwise why would we believe that Democrats don't shout down opponents?
Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant - this is what we are going to get for 4 years if the Kerry/Edwards bathroom fixtures are elected.

Leaving aside for the moment the possible easterner swipe at us neanderthals dragging our knuckles here in the 'fly-over'... what fantasy land does Edwards come from that "Democrats would never shout down" an opponent. He's obviously never watched C-Span broadcasting from the floor of the House.

It must be nice to live in that little bubble of make-believe. I wonder if they will ever be able to see the "real world"? Somehow, I think not. I suspect they feel they've been "slumming" when they get out and mingle with the masses. Have they turned on a TV? Have they read a newspaper? Even with the slant the media has, we see this crap. As we've all been saying, this is going to be one bumpy ride.

...sounds like Mrs. kerry is making a threat.

Sounds to me that if Mrs. Kerry becomes Mrs. President, the media will have a field day with her. I'm telling you, that is one scary chick. She'll do anything to get a dress in the Smithsonian.

Oh, that one-liner would have trashed the Bush campaign had something like that come out of the First Lady's mouth.
Even with obvious media bias, how they survived it, I do not know.

you would be mad too; if john hienz iii died in a plane crash ; only to find her new hubby losing the election. teresa has a temper on her and we only witnessed the honey moon courting of american votes. she wishes us 4 more years of hell ; when we re-elect bush. isn't that special ? we didn't know much about her until she opened her mouth. no, we can't have this misbehavior - not in our white house. it our money they want to share; not theirs.

Laura Bush is, in my opinion, a normal human American woman with good taste in clothing and literature, and Mrs. Kerry is not. Laura's also more of a grown-up, having had to deal with having killed a guy she had dated, in a car wreck. Yes, it was Texas, and the fix (and her youth and obvious inadvertence) may have saved her from prosecution, but I think she caught the right lesson from it. Teresa the congenitally privileged obviously has no clue.

Um, let me clarify what I wrote above. I did not mean to imply that Texas justice is dishonest, but that Texans tend to drive like lunatics, and that this is accounted for in their courts.
