PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Teresa Heinz Kerry released the following statement today:

"I had forgotten that Mrs. Bush had worked as a school teacher and librarian, and there couldn't be a more important job than teaching our children. As someone who has been both a full time mom and full time in workforce, I know we all have valuable experiences that shape who we are. I appreciate and honor Mrs. Bush's service to the country as First Lady, and am sincerely sorry I had not remembered her important work in the past."

Teresa reminds of the boozy, flask-carrying mom of George Costanza's rich girlfriend, Susan.

Dear Teresa:

Thank you so much for your anal pretense. It is very comforting.

[annyokie]

You misspelled twit. ; )

Nice try on her part. The only ones that will buy her pathetic attempt to cover her butt are liberals, the totally clueless, and the uneducated, moron democratic base. Ooops...wait a minute,,,,those three groups are the same! Hmmmm,,,,good thinking on her part--it just might work!!!!

Never mind.

damage control, they need all the teachers voting for them.

I'll never be a fan of THK, but when was the last time you heard a Dem say they are "sincerely sorry"?

[Dems_R_Losers]

Good, now tell your scumbag husband to apologize to two million Vietnam veterans!!!!!

[lsee]

She FORGOT??? Heh...well, I just know that there are people who dislike George W. Bush but who will still be offended by such a classless attack on the first lady. FORGOT?? And she's supposed to be "older and wiser"? Lady, the ordinary signs of aging on your face don't count as "learning experiences" any more than that perpetual sneer gives your face "character".

I believe she was a translator. I think it was for an international agency, maybe the UN or the IMF. Just don't remember. I believe it's where she met the husband she really did love--John Heinz. Actually, Mrs. HK is a very bright woman. She just hasn't been showing that side lately.

Full time mom, my derriere. Why do I suspect nannies raised her kids.

[Richard Kimball]

Wow. What a heartfelt, off the cuff, obviously not vetted and approved by campaign and staff supervisors and run through a focus group before being checked for grammar, spelling and punctuation press release. Really. You can tell this was a sincere apology on her part, and not part of a damage control effort.

[Innisfree]

I don't think that she ever held a real job outside the home. Philanthropy---AKA putting her dead husband's money in tax shelters---has occupied her only for the past ten years. It doesn't qualify as a real job anyway.

[dfwgator]

Have some white raisins Terayza.

[nascarnation]

the NEA must have called her cell phone....

[dfwgator]

I'm tellin' ya she's a Republican plant, she was married to a Republican Senator. She's about to accomplish her mission.

[trentk]

Can you picture this woman as the First Lady????
