I understand moms don't read websites. Moms don't blog either (except for, say, MommyPundit or 200 other momblogs) or read newspapers or magazines. They probably don't even vote.
At least Teresa Heinz Kerry should hope they don't.
When the would-be first lady decided to take a shot at Laura Bush in yesterday's USA Today by stating that Mrs. Bush had never held a "real job," she committed the rarest of things a triple gaffe. Like triple plays in baseball, these are rarely seen in these days of well-coached candidates and spouses. But Tuesday's was one for the ages.
First, it is bad form very bad form to speak in anything other than the most complimentary terms of your opponent's spouse. It's just tacky. But after the assault on Mary Cheney's privacy by John Kerry, Mary Beth Cahill, and Elizabeth Edwards, I guess more appearances of the merely tacky should not surprise.
Blunder two was to denigrate, by omission, the professions of teacher and librarian. Ms. H-K quickly figured out these were interest groups in good standing in the Democratic party and rushed out an apology: She had "forgotten" Laura's service as both. Not believable, of course, but acceptable damage control.

I personally know a lot of teachers who will not be voting for sKerry. All across America are a lot of small schools who do not belong to the teacher's unions.
I bet some of these small schools will be similar to ours-Conservative and voting for Bush.
When I saw "I AM" for a split-second I thought ....... but, a teacher voting for Bush is next-best.
LOL! You know, pass by, move forward.
oh, that adorably kooky teresa.
move on . . .
You know, your post made me stop and think. Why aren't the women posters here firing off emails at disgust of this comment? We should be. This lady just offended a lot of stay at home moms, librarians and school teachers. Oh well, just a thought........maybe more follow up is needed? Thanks.
Hugh Hewitt PING, please!
Well, Teresa used to be a Republican. I don't think she wants to be First Lady. Seriously--she's got billions; she probably just wants to relax on her yacht and fly around on her private jet and buy new wardrobes and insult peasants, not deal with boring State dinners and having to smile for the photographers all the time.
Of course, after November 2 (or whenever Kerry finally throws in the towel) she'll be able to do this for the rest of her life, thank God.
Just shove it, Teraysa!
So accurate! In fact, you could substitute almost any liberal elitist's name (think Bill and Hill) as they all fit your description to a 'T'.
What is a SAHM? I think your acronym denegrates the exhalted positin you have taken in life. Please don't take this as a flame, but you are a Stay AT Home Mother. Say it loud and proud! We all appreciate the things that Mothers do. No your work is never done... Thank you.
I'm one stay-at-home Mom who's absolutely disgusted. She's arrogant, clumsy and stupid. She always had nannies to raise HER kids and maids to clean her house and chauffeurs to drive her kids around and chefs to cook her meals. If you do this for your family--if you give your husband and children a warm, comfortable, loving base--then you're not really WORKING, according to Teresa. I don't use the word 'hate' very often, but what I'm thinking about this woman approaches that.
not a bad idea, in fact a very good one -- thanks.
but first -- I've got to stop rofl.
This will help me refocus on the seriesness underlying everything -- http://pages.sbcglobal.net/bommer/When_The_Man_Comes_Around.html
Woops. You're correct.
Why yes, I speak jive!
Maybe any of us who know teachers who are supporting Kerry can ask them 'why?' and who they really think will have policies that make them safer from an American Beslan.
Holy New Marytrs of Beslan, pray Christ-God that our souls may be saved!
BTTT
Here we go, immediate gratification: http://www.johnkerry.com/contact/contact.php
Yea, she actually did, drum roll please...
Prior to meeting her millionare republican husband she worked at the UN!
LOL, just posted this:
We really want Tereza to give some more speeches, lots more public appearances, get her out there, right now.
