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.

An enterprising freeper with the technological capabilities ought to make a video compilation of all the lefty politicians, candidates and their wives, etc. who have gone ballistic in front of cameras recently.

It would make a great campaign commercial. For our side.

:-)

Excellent catch, kcvl! Now it's all coming clear. McNickle sets her up with a question she knows is a trap and she winds up denying she said what everybody there, including the media, just heard her say. IOW, she fell into McNickle's trap anyway. Has this woman never heard the word "deflect"?

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

paragraphs are our friends.

[Jmouse007]

Yes but Michael Moore has said that he is not going to speak! What a joke, he would speak to a 2 year old who stuck a mike in front of him. It is going to be a fun, the democrats are going to be running around putting out fires like this ALL WEEK.

"Kirk to Enterprise...Kirk to Enterprise...one to beam up...there are no rich, homely widows to seduce on this planet...over..."

[Bonaparte]

"I am NOT a dork!"

Of course you're not, John. You're a dweeb. Although some swear you're a wanker.

Yes, he will be speaking at another event. Earlier it was reported that he wasn't going to get convention creditials but now he is. And it sounds like he will get a lot of camera time.

In fact, he'll give an interview to Larry King, appear on MSNBC with Ron Reagan and talk on ABC's "Good Morning America" from the floor this week.

He'll even share a box at the convention with invited VIP guests such as Al Franken and Ben Affleck.

Our own push poll:

John Kerry:
a) Dweeb
b) Dork
c) Wanker
d) all of the above

[nopardons]

Well,technically she IS an African...she was born there.I really have no quibble with her over that.:-)

And you and I ARE "native Americans",since we were both born here.

I am so sick of these stupid,PC word games.

The First Amendment according to the Left:

"Free speech for me, but not for thee."

[L_Von_Mises]

Yeah, the party of peace and love showing their true colors again. She is something else. The more exposure she gets, the better our chances in November.

[Bonaparte]

"...locked all the bathrooms and put up porta potties in the yard for her guests."

Wow! They're good enough to invite to a party but not good enough to use the bathroom. Does that speak volumes or what?

[rwfromkansas]

hmmm

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

where do i sign up for more of their values?

Democrat Underground.

[bimboeruption]

What's with the "Warrior Women" button she wears on her lapel?

After she childishly tells the reporter to "Shove it!" she turns tail and escapes down the steps.

So much for "Warrior Women."

[hobson]

I'm going to stock up on popcorn tomorrow. I don't want to miss this. I'll skip BJ but Algore and Kerry will be mustseetv.

An enterprising freeper with the technological capabilities ought to make a video compilation of all the lefty politicians, candidates and their wives, etc. who have gone ballistic in front of cameras recently.

They are certainly providing plenty of material.
