The Teresa Heinz Kerry Scandal

I think it's been misenterprited...

from JoeUser Forums
All that Teresa Heinz Kerry said and I quote, "I am not sure if Laura Bush has even had a real job." She is just stating that she's not sure or not if she's been actually out in the work force...she's not bashing her for being a lazy bitch...she was just curious or not if she ever worked. Like the article in USA Today said...she was NOT SURE.

a. This has been covered TO DEATH on about a million other threads.
b. I think you got your lazy bitches switched around.
c. If she was really curious (though I don't see how she possibly could not have known), she could have discreetly asked her people.

Yeah, and I'm "not sure" THK isn't the daughter of Satan   What a lame argument!  Nice try.

I think I deserve a trolling for my comment . . . guess it's just the mood I'm in. Sorry for being a jerk, alison.

Why should you get a trolling for something that's basically true?

Jill--that's exactly what she said....and it's just my interpritation.

Texas-It's okay...everyone gets in a mood.

I don't think THK is the greatest person that ever lived or anything, but as I stated to Jill, that's how I interpreted her quote. Personally, I think she needs a wardrobe coordinator and a hair stylist...she always looks soooo sloppy.

Any one of those is a job by itself.

Never stated that you did. Maybe I should have prefaced my remark with "Wow"?

I don't think THK meant it as a bash or an attack or anything. I think the question asked was a kind of strange question. THK appologized immediately after the event, and Laura Bush has responded by basically saying 'That's alright. I understand. I've had those "trick questions" before. I know what it's like. No offense taken.'

While on the topic, I'll quickly say, yes all of those three are jobs. Education is important and so is being a mother.

I don't think either of them are 'lazy bitches', and believe both of them are nice.

Let's lay off those two and talk about something important... like the fact that Cheney's daughter is apparently a lesbian. Just kidding. Making a little poke at the news media there...

Whether THK meant it as a slam or not, it went over like a lead cookie . "I am not sure if Laura Bush has even had a real job." I'm curious as to how THK thought LB would take that from a woman that married a billionaire. Laura was very gracious to let it slide like she did.

THK said something stupid, she apologized almost immediately (don't we all wish that Misters Bush and Kerry would apologize every once in a while?) and LB was very gracious.

About half the time Mrs blogic and I want put a muzzle on THK, and the other half we're thrilled that she's so off the rails. Honestly, if I were getting the attention she is, I'm sure I'd find out -- out the 6 o'clock news -- that I say all kinds of crazy things.

Being miked during my wedding reception was already a learning experience. Sigh.

I think THK just speaks her mind...which is a good thing. I'm sure she'd be entertaining liquored up. I do think it's good that she appologized...afterall like I said, i think she was just confused and not sure....it's not like Laura was rude about it either.

I respect laura bush...however, her husband is a different story....

Laura Bush has never been rude about anything. 


I think a lot of people are being very naive about THK.  She is a very intelligent, highly educated woman who has had every advantage out there in life.  She is not nice though.  She said something snide and then apologized after she heard how badly it was recieved.  Sure, she spoke her mind, that is the problem.  Why would she even think that Laura Bush didn't ever have a "real" job?  She might not of known she was a teacher or librarian but there is no getting around her knowing that Laura raised twin daughters.


THK is haughty through and through.  I don't know how anyone would see her as nice.  You people might think that it is no big deal that she said something like this and that it is great how she just speaks her mind.  Keep in mind, the First Lady interacts with heads of state and world leaders and represents our country.

I don't think my old washing machine (that travelled all over the laundry room) had a spin cycle like this.

Either she knew Laura Bush's employment history (to include mom/wife) and willfully decided to trash it, or she didn't bother to find anything out and just made a comment, that at best, shows her ignorance. Either way, I'm not impressed. And not just because of the comment.

Keep in mind, the First Lady interacts with heads of state and world leaders and represents our country.


What happens when she says this about Roh Moo-hyun's wife? Or Koizumi's wife? Or Chirac's wfie?

They're both bitches, let's just get that out in the open right now.

Speaking one's mind is good, as long as you remember to think first.
