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.

This isn't a question of manners or difficulty with the English language. I'm convinced she's dedicated to "Better Living through Chemistry," of the liquid or solid variety. Heh, heh. Imagine old John's just thrilled to death with her right about now.....

[claudiustg]

She must apologize! We demand an apology!

[tapatio]

What do you do? I said what do you do?

You ain't wearin' a tie, you ain't got a jacket

You can't come in 'cos you're in the wrong bracket

You can shove it VIP's and royalty get treated like they're special see

But the trick is there for all to see

They're people just like you and me

You can shove it

"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."

Gee, Teraaaaayza, you mean back when the democrats said "do this" and Republicans like your late RINO hubby obligingly bent over and grabbed their ankles?

[doug from upland]

And people thought the songs would end when Bush was inaugurated. Not hardly.

[Texas Eagle]

I don't mean to be mean, but she looks like a slob!

I believe in the upper-crust parlance (sp?) it is known as "shabby chic".

[ClancyJ]

Hm....Guess she was just sprouting the daily talking points.

Someone should tell her you have to do a little acting as well. Hold your temper until at least an hour after the speech.

Is it me or is there actually a resemblance?

Stua-a-a-rt!

Hell if I had a BILLION bucks in the bank, I guess I'd be bonkers too! LOL! :]

Your welcome, this is a far cry from the TERRRAYyyyyyzzzzaaa interview and puff piece TIME mag will be foisting on the nwashed masses next week i.e., "TERRAYYyyyyyyzzzaa the wise, TERRAYYyaaaazzzaaa the compassionate, TERRAYYYYyyyyzzzaaaa the friend of the press and the "little people."

Like I said, this is good and it is NOT going to go away. You can do alot of stuff in this town but you can't tell the press to "shove it" when they are just asking a simple question of clarification regarding a statement that you made not two minutes ago.

I'm actually shocked that the mainstream media's even picked this up, seeing as she told a reporter from a conservative outlet to Shove It. I'd have expected the liberals to laugh about it, tell Teresa, "You go, girl!", and then promptly not report it, leaving it to get covered by (and to die on) Newsmax and FNC.

Having said that, my take on the Kerry/DNC/media spin; "With all the lies and distortions made about her husband by Rupert Murdoch and the rest of the White House controlled right-wing media, it's no wonder that Ms. Heinz Kerry could no longer hold back her frustration and lashed out. Indeed, she deserves the highest praise for her admirable restraint in the face of an unprecedented level of character assassination being pursued by the right-wing attack dogs of the Bush Regime."

I don't think it'll work, but you know they'll try.

"what did you mean by UNAMERICAN?" Her answer: "I DID NOT SAY THAT! WHY ARE YOU PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH?" Mr. McNickle said in response something to the effect "I heard you say it ("UNAMERICAN remarks"). TEREeeeaaaaayyyzzzaaa then reiterated "I DID NOT SAY THAT"

Guess that can happen when you just mouth the words you are given on a piece of paper, and especially when those words say something you really don't know or care about ...

"Where did all that dark hair go, Tim?"

(Kerry's response to Russert's question about Kerry's charge of Viet atrocities...

[kcvl]

Did she assault him too? It's looks like she grabbed his arm!

[demnomo]

Hmmm. I'm thinkin something to the country tune of "Take this job and shove it!"

[raccoonradio]

Double standard. Hugs and kisses to anyone on the left but if you're from a "right-wing" paper, then "shove it"...just like they LOVE freedom of speech...as long as it's from THEIR side!
