Democratic National Convention
Teresa Heinz Kerry - "Shove It!"
Hillary Rodham Clinton - "You go girl!"
Are these the people we want running the country? Sounds like ghetto-speak. And, what is it with the women of the democratic party using their maiden names? Just something wierd about that. I happened to be one of the rare people who actually saw the improptu speech given by Ms. Kerry, and YES, she used the term, "Un-American". Later, when asked (politely, in my opinion) what she meant by it, she said that she never said it and that the reporter was trying to put words in her mouth. Frustrated, she let out, "Shove it!".
I understand being nervous while speaking in public and possibly just letting your mouth run to the point where you don't remember exactly what you said. I also understand mis-speaking or saying something that has some "spin potential". Heck, I even understand getting frustrated to the point where, "Shove it!" would escape your lips. Lastly, I understand that Ms. Kerry is not running for office, so should not be held to any standard.
What I'm having a problem with is Mr. Kerry's response: "My wife speaks her mind appropriately." It's almost never appropriate for me to vent my frustration in such a public display. Although I may do/say dumb things that I regret, I would never expect my spouse to stand behind any frustrated, dumb, comments.
Anywho, not to be too political or biased one way or the other (I'm going to reregister to the Capitalist Party), I found this yesterday and LMAO!!!
