Heinz-Kerry and "Shove It" In The News Again

OK, now this is really getting ridiculous!

Teresa Heinz-Kerry’s telling a reporter to “shove it” has been the subject of some 381 stories in publications around the country since July 25th when the incident happened.

In contrast, Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign mottos did not catch. According to Factiva, "One America" got 57 mentions, "Hope is on the way," got 50 mentions and "America can do better" just 21 in the same time period.

What is this press fascination with the words “shove it”? Is the ENTIRE presidential election to be based on Billionaire Teresa’s rudeness to a reporter?

This is the dumbest continuing story that I have EVER seen. The Washington Times is reporting that the reporter who had the argument with Heinz-Kerry (and I don’t care if she uses hyphens in her name or not either) has been the subject of death threats and obscene messages (http://washingtontimes.com/national/20040803-121322-5779r.htm). How childish. Sounds like some people still need to grow up.

I have nothing but contempt for people who think other people deserve to die for exercising their First Amendment rights.

Kerry's campaign is in REAL trouble: the press is more interested in what his wife is saying than what he is. The numbers prove it.
