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...
Priceless video. And we all know how sheeple LOVE video....
This woman is a nut. I'v seen some squirells but she's at the top of the tree....
She lied to herself and others.
Knowingly, Repeatedly, Intentionally tried to tell a reporter that she did not use the word un-American when she did.
1) Candidate gives a speech and says "the sky is blue".
2) Within the same hour, a Reporter asks her what she meant by "the sky is blue"
3) Candidate lies to herself and others and repeatedly says she didn't say "the sky is blue"
Even when a reporter conducts himself politely and professionally, like McNickle did? Is that the way to encourage reporters to adopt better habits, to actually punish them for good behavior? It seems to me that the only thing that would accomplish is to have them conclude that they can't win no matter what they do, so they may as well just keep attacking, lying, distorting, etc.
It's just a fact of life that no politician or celebrity can avoid facing the media and the media can hurt these people. That's why even somebody as arrogant as John Kerry is usually polite and at least nominally responsive to their questions. Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with them at all.
Terrible-Terry really said "un-Madagascarian"......
It's her lovely "cosmopolitan accent"......
Let us not portray Teresa as a Black Widow, a Red Queen, a Pink Lady......
So......
John Kerry-O'Kohn is a French citizen
Raised in distant foreign institutions......
"When I'm President of the United States we will all speak French!"
That's what the caller on Rush said ... they moved him to Row 16
ABC News will air it, riight after their goundbreaking report on flying pigs.

SOMEBODY has to do a graphic with Kerry in the middle surrounded by his clan and when you click on each photo of the clan, you get one of their "angry" or stupid comment speeches.
Circling should be the three you had (Dean, Gephardt, and Gore, but also Michael Moore, Bill Clinton (England comment to reporter), Hillary, the wife, Whoopi, Tim/Susan, Barbra, etc.
Would be a classic.
Rush just said that the National Guardsman in uniform who tried to catch Lurch's Girly Woosie toss was supposed to have thrown the opening pitch.
The elite super rich Lurch bumped the Guardsman for a photo op that might cost him a whole lot of votes.
She's not Portugese-American?
LOL...ok.
Not without a chair and net in hand.
Probably because she knows he only does it in public when he needs votes or in private when he needs money.
Right you are, PJ. This is why I believe the democrats must stuff her back in the attic for the rest of the campaign. Let's not be surprised if TerAYzah suddenly falls off the radar.
Another poster has already pointed out that she should be asked what she meant by "shove it," what she wanted McNickle to shove and where she wanted it shoved. Asked, of course, in all innocence -- just for clarification.
She denied three times she used that word then finally almost knocked people down getting back to the reporter when she figured out the correct response:
At which point she stormed out of the room. Perfect FIRST-LADY like etiquette!
(But so worth it!)
Given the company she keeps, it's not surprising that Terraayyyzzaa would say she didn't say un-american before she did say un-american.
