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...
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
Stay tuned. Don't touch that dial...
The Democrats are right to be very afraid that she was going to cause a lot of trouble to her husband
I can hardly blame someone for getting testy with the clods in the press, even if it is her.
LOL, the AP bitchslapped her. They smell blood with this RIGH before the convention. No wonder she looked so uneager to be at the game tonight. She knew this was coming.
Say it isn't so! Not from the mouth of this polished educated wealthy Latin lady. She may be given lots less time to talk about MR. Teresa Heinz Kerry. She is one scary woman and all over the board when she speaks.
Nope .. sniffing air plane glue
He is putting a model together
We called them 'flood waters' in the old days.
Previously, to avoid conflicts with protests by the city police and firefighter unions, state party leaders made plans to hold an alternate reception at the delegation's hotel. But they canceled the hotel event after the firefighters reached a contract accord Sunday.
Marla Romash, Teresa Heinz Kerry 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."
