The Candidate's Wife

"Despite her linguistic prowess and her worldliness, Heinz Kerry has, at times, a deaf ear for the nuances of slang, code, condescension, and vulgarity in English—for the emotion of the language. “There are these bizarre moments that make you shudder,” the Kerry adviser said. “Like calling herself African-American to black audiences.” She dismissed voters skeptical of her husband’s health-care proposals as “idiots,” and, in a television interview with a Pittsburgh anchorwoman, employed the word “scumbags” to describe some of her detractors."

I just think she is a sexually frustrated woman.

Maybe John F. Kerry uses it every day?"

A truism if every there was one! Sort of like Mrs. Clinton's FJB; easily and oft used words slip out when least expected.........

If it came down to First Ladies alone...well...

Note: this is a real lady. Her Democrat equivalent is a liberal bag hag.

What's wrong with THIS? She IS African-American. Only the blacks in this country have co-opted this to mean..... only people of darker-colored skin.

I would question Kerry's viability as President on his marraige choice alone....

You and me both. I was just discussing this with my husband not all that long ago. Can you imagine Ter-AY-za in formal dinners with any foreign diplomats? I'm having a hard time with that one. Who the heck knows what she would say under those circumstances.

Technically, she is African-American. LOL. Mosambiquian-American. Yeah, whadever. She's still a raving nutter.

Marrying her was possibly the most brilliant thing George W. has done. I sincerely doubt he would be the person he is today without her.

By comparison, the Ketchup Queen makes Leona Helmsley look like a saint. Circle the calendar!
