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.

All the while they are constantly repeating that they are running an optimistic campaign about the future.

They have their own reality based totally on whatever it is they are smoking.

That's why I think this convention will be their Waterloo.

There isn't enough booze amd/or meds on the planet to deal with this kind of raging lunacy.

We ought to have a pool going on the date and time everything implodes.

And you defend her action!

I didn't defend her lying. I'm just not bothered that she told a reporter to shove it.

Go to warroom.com to hear Quinn interview the reporter at the 8:00 hour. It will probably take awhile for the archives to be put on the site.

Then she SHOVED her way throught the Secret Service to tell that reporter to "SHOVE IT!"

Yeah, she actually tracked him down, elbows flailing through the crowd like some sort of stalker.

CNN surprisingly is doing a good job of showing the whole thing (including the speech) start to finish and in context.

I was just listening to Laura Ingram and she was playing a sound bite from Chris Matthews where he was talking to Teresa Heinz Kerry.

He said; "I find you facinating, the question always arouses me, er, a, arises to me."

ROTFLMGO!

The 'shove it' is not the important part of this story.

I believe the critical part of this story is her denial of her use of the word 'unamerican' even though she clearly used the word minutes earlier.

She's a nutjob on the scale of Martha Mitchell.

Speaking of Quinn (I listen four hours every morning), do you think, just maybe, Disco Rose TALKS way too much, and takes away from the show!

Personally, I'm getting sick of her vapid, meaningless bull. There are much more important things to speak about each day than lipstick, cigarettes, disco and the rest of her claptrap. Jim's letting her flap her lips way too much. The show is so much better when she's gone and takes a "Soccer Mom Day".

Saying "Shove it" was funny because she'd just cautioned against practicing incivility in her speech.

She was just as amnesiac about that, as she was about saying "un-American".

What a headcase.

Charming. Just charming. Clearly she's showing off her recently acquired skills as a contemporary graduate of the Hillary Clinton School of Political Etiquette.

LOL. I hear Dick Cheney's a visiting prof. She flunked his class.

I did hear the audio on ABC radio news this morning. I was shocked they actually ran it, she plainly said, "Yes, understandable. You said something I didn't say, now shove it."

BTW, they also reported that her husband was greeted with "a good-natured Bronx cheer" at the ballpark. I kid you not.
