Adjournment
I'm a no bozo woman and I don't "get her." Any woman who does is STUPID.
No fair. Andrea Mitchell has no business sitting on Matthews' panel giving commentary on Teresa's speech when she sits on the board of one of her foundations. Fair disclosure should be made but then again the alphabet networks fail to disclose unless called on it.
Is there something in the water? These women must be flaming libs.
LOL! Outstanding!
Yeah estrogen thought terayzuh was wonderful
Suzan estrich is trying to spin this as women will get this.
So ladies? did she reach you?
(the new them of the camp kerry is Evita's theme)
Tehrezza: Kerry "will always be first in the line of fire. He knows the importance of getting it right." Whoa. She really said that. It's on tape.
Ah yes, well, I've stepped in it, haven't I?
Thanks for the correction.
She seemed heavily medicated.
She reminded me of the doped-up bride in the movie, "Sixteen Candles."
And now the ever-repulsive Ceci Connolly defends TKH and her mysterious woman power.
Keep in mind her job tonight was to help us to get to know her husband. She talked about the Peace Corps, oppression and the global environment. This is what she chose to say for us to get to know her husband. We should be more frightened than ever.
John Kerry is a vehicle for anti-American, socialists who are lining up behind France to break our back.
Put lipstick on this pig... ROFLMAO!!
Cute pic....what does this have to do with the discussion???
I am getting tired of folks posting irrelevant stuff in the middle of threads.
If you want to start a "cute baby" thread, then go ahead...leave the rest of us alone....
Not this chick. I wouldn't be able to understand her after doing tequilla shots!
I think Theresa will hurt Kerry. Not because of Theresa per se, but because of the money, Kerry marrying her, and it all being so obvious a mismatch, except for the conjoining of money and ambition on Kerry's part. I think there will be an undertow, and maybe more with women. Men can understand why a guy would do what Kerry did. Women I suspect will resent it.
Considering the content of the speech, what was the main message from TH-K?
WE MUST HELP THE WORLD EVEN IF IT HURTS THE US!!!
Granted, you have to read between the lines, but there it was for those who listened. If you didn't read between the lines it sounded like an incoherent rant. So the Dems are spinning. And if anyone dares to ask, "What in all FRELL was she talking about?" they'll now scream, "SEXIST!!!! How DARE you not understand the manna from Heaven that flowed from TH-K's lips! You must be an ignorant (screech) MALE! SEXIST!!!!"
Mark my words. We need to get some Conservative women on ASAP to nip this in the bud.
Im gonna go to Mozambique! And Paris! And South Africa! And America! And I am going to get plastered off my ass and give a speach at the DNC! YEAAAHHHHH!!!!!
Oh, we get it, all right. We get that she's a whacked out loony toon.
Estrich said that?!
She's a liberal and she was Dukakis's campaign manager but she has a rep for calling it like it really is.
This must be one of those times where she's gonna take one for the good of the party.
Ouch.
Fox has four liberal women on now. Geeze it is like watching a CNN anex.
SO now they bash all men as "not getting her"
HELLO LADIES! MEN KNOW A DRUNK WOMAN!
