Seems like every week she says something oddball that gets them in trouble

This week? Saying Laura Bush never had a real job...even though she was a public school teacher and librarian for ~10years

wonder how teachers would feel about that?

 

[Doth Togo]

Two words.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Maybe we can ban her Ketchup?

but Hienz is the best tasting Ketchup.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Teresa Heinz Kerry released the following statement today:

"I had forgotten that Mrs. Bush had worked as a school teacher and librarian, and there couldn't be a more important job than teaching our children. As someone who has been both a full time mom and full time in workforce, I know we all have valuable experiences that shape who we are. I appreciate and honor Mrs. Bush's service to the country as First Lady, and am sincerely sorry I had not remembered her important work in the past."

^ ROFL


Kerry should take a page from the hill-billies out there and control his woman.


...though I'm sure it's the other way around considering she holds the $$$

Stupid ketchup lady. At least she admitted she was wrong. Her ketchup is real good though.

Another dumbass comment:

Heinz Kerry called President Bush’s decision not to sign on to the Kyoto Protocol, an international compact for reducing atmospheric pollution - “a huge diplomatic blunder.”

Only problem is her husband voted for the same thing too.

Declares that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol to, or other agreement regarding, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change of 1992, at negotiations in Kyoto in December 1997 or thereafter which would: (1) mandate new commitments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the Annex 1 Parties, unless the protocol or other agreement also mandates new specific scheduled commitments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions for Developing Country Parties within the same compliance period; or (2) result in serious harm to the U.S. economy.

OH NO, A WOMAN WHO ACTUALLY SAYS WHAT'S ON HER MIND. STUPID BITCH.

 

[fennec fox]

We need more wives that disagree with their politician husbands. I mean, look at Maria Shriver!

 

[Boomer]

OH NO, A WOMAN WHO ACTUALLY SAYS WHAT'S ON HER MIND. STUPID BITCH.

It's more the fact that what she says is stupid.

 

[etiolate]

I mean, look at Maria Shriver!

Most of us try not to.

Woah, you really missed the point here IMO.

 

[Dilbert]

As strange as this may sound -- I gotta go with Makura on this one. Her recent quote about Laura Bush never holding a real job was a mistake, plain and simple.

With that being said, there's an awful lot of "she always says crazy shit, like every week man" sentiment in this thread, and I don't see a shred of evidence presented which validates that. Care to share any MORE obviously wrong things that she's said, or are you just slandering her whole nature because of ONE statement?

I gotta say that MJQ has a point in general, though -- most people are threatened by real women with real views in public life, which is pretty damn sad.

Yeah, I wasn't necessarily talking about this specific incidence. I have personal experience with people (including my own mother!) who tell me they don't like her because of her "audacious" personality, and the fact that she has "so much to say!" Me, I've never really taken notice of this. She's actually an educated woman who's done a lot for a lot of people. Sorry if she has an accent and speaks her mind once in a while.

It's entirely possible for them both to be dumbasses.

I don't pay enough attention to know how I'd really classify her, but she does say some strange things. Like declaring in public that she's a believer of the theory that the administration would trot out Osama shortly prior to the election.

 

[MetatronM]

We have a word for women like Mrs. Heinz-Kerry. I believe the word is "bitch."

Fortunately, she's not the one on the ballot.

There's a bit of a difference here. The vote Kerry gave provides for a condition upon which the Kyoto Protocol could be adopted, which is if certain concessions and amendments were made to fit American needs/demands. Those changes were made to the Kyoto Protocol, but Bush decided not to sign on regardless. So it is not necessarily or irrevocably contradictory to criticize the President and not criticize Kerry. Of course, she probably didn't pay any attention to what her husband did and was just running her mouth, but the point is that it isn't necessarily hypocritical.
