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...
It would make a great campaign commercial. For our side.
:-)
paragraphs are our friends.
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.
Of course you're not, John. You're a dweeb. Although some swear you're a wanker.

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
And you and I ARE "native Americans",since we were both born here.
I am so sick of these stupid,PC word games.
"Free speech for me, but not for thee."
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.
Wow! They're good enough to invite to a party but not good enough to use the bathroom. Does that speak volumes or what?
hmmm
Democrat Underground.
They are certainly providing plenty of material.
