Kerry: Blame Osama, Not Teresa
CBS News ^ | February 8, 2005

Posted on 02/08/2005 10:39:56 AM PST by srm913

Teresa Heinz Kerry got a bad rap during the presidential campaign, her husband said Monday.

Democratic Sen. John Kerry, who lost his bid for the White House last November, told New York City radio host Don Imus that incidents on the campaign trail were blown out of proportion.

"I was really upset about that on a personal level," the Massachusetts senator said during the interview, aired on WFAN-AM radio and also broadcast on MSNBC.

Reports had circulated during the campaign that Heinz Kerry — who is known for speaking her mind — could be a bit disruptive.

"We all know there were a couple statements here and there that got blown up, but the fact is she campaigned her heart out," said Kerry.

He said a recent article on the matter was gossip. "I'm not going to worry about it. You know, that article is like having a colonoscopy and you move on."

In other comments, Kerry said the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were the "predominant overriding element" in his election loss.

"I think that in the end, an awful lot of people were unwilling to switch commander in chief in midstream," he said, adding that his support was going up in the week before the Nov. 2 vote, but flatlined after a new tape of Osama bin Laden was released.

I'm not sure which was the bigger liability. A bloated, loud-mouthed, drunken wife or an Chamberlainesque appeasment to terrorists. But both endeared him to the quisling party faithful.

I noticed that the discussion between JFnK and Imus about the form 180 was not mentioned in this little CBS blurb.

. “Then eat nine of the raisins a day.”

John...John...John...You just don't get it. We just did not LIKE you. Your bullsh!t may fly in Massachusetts, but not in REAL America. Give it up, John. We did not like you in '04. We are going to like you even less in '08.

First off, I thought that she had changed her name back to Teresa Heinz, dropping "Kerry."

Second, a listing of her faux pauxs would fill up a page on this forum.

Thirdly, when is guy going to STFU about why he lost the election. He lost the election because his campaign sucked wet dog fur.

I was rather surprised that Kerry got as many votes as he did. Kerry came out of the woodwork, I wonder how many of those that voted for him, had heard of him before he campaigned. He barely attended his senate responsibility.

He really should blame himself and his leftwing voting record. And his vietnam hysterics.

The people that voted for skerry were just voting AGAINST Bush. They would have voted for Bullwinkle if he'd been running.
