"How do you solve a problem like Tere-zah?"


All week I've been whistling the tune from "The Sound of Music," mentally substituting the name Teresa for Maria.


"How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Teresa? A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the-wisp! A clown..."

I agree with you, but I also wonder as alicia2210 does:

All I can do is repeat my response and try to make it clearer:

As people mature, they sometimes find that things they said they would NEVER do (in Hilary's case she said "I will NEVER be a Stand By Your Man kinda woman") come back to bite them in the butt (Hilary ended up standing by her man). Maybe this is God's way of teaching us a lesson (this can happen to any of us, not just Hilary).

Have You Ever said the words....I WOULD NEVER do what that dumb person did (in regard to A parent, child, job, spouse, or whatever)? Well, don't be so quick to "NEVER"...

Bottom line: it's not very smart to run around judging other people's personal decisions because "There but for the grace of God go YOU!"

What you said you would NEVER do might someday be staring you straight in the eyeball, and guess what, it's not so simple when it's YOUR problem.



One thing's for certain, if people are THAT obsessed with someone else's personal life - it keeps them from looking at their own messy stuff, cause they really can't find the time, now can they?

And if their lives are truly perfect they could spend that time on their knees thanking God for their good fortune.

p.s. I agree completely with go left - trying to make laws to regulate other people's personal lives is wrong. And I'd like to add wrong, wrong, wrong...

Personally, I feel like she's trying to out-Hillary Hillary, and is succeeding. She comes across as far more of a b1tch than Hillary did, and that's saying something. Maybe being a billionaire heiress has something to do with it.

Hillary has self-discipline, and knows how to play the game to get what she wants. Theresa is a loose cannon and Fruedians would have a lot to say about how her tirades end up wounding Kerry.

Now this is someone middle America would be proud to have as first lady. NOT.

well...lets let john john the master of salutes figure this one out...im just enjoying the show...not only does the great *uniter* call protestors goons....his wife is evidently inebriated or sedated....and i can only think she must regret the day she met this pantload of a loser...and is out to punish him for it.. the interesting thing to me...is that her response..coming from a woman who has demonstrated distinctly *inappropriate* behavior in the past ... has garnered more attention than her husband's mean spirted response to the *hecklers*...im sorry..but if GWB called michael moore and the hollywood/g.sorous..move..on.../ groups *goons* ... i doubt that anything laura did could generate this much publicity short of dropping her drawers and mooning the crowd...why dont we focus on the fact that this man has contempt and hatred for anyone who disagrees with him....

oops..i seemed to forget...exactly what does it mean to agree with john kerry...

on any given day it seems we ALL agree with him...depending on what the polls say...

*I was a vietnam hero..before i was a war criminal* kerry.... geezus.... can anyone take anything that this oompa loompa says seriously? Let alone his poor wife who is under the influence of something (and i dont think its john john literally or figuratively).

You need some evidence before you go accusing her of being on drugs. THat is ridiculous what, because she has an accent? HOW ethnocentric of you! You need to listen to french africans here and there before you assume such a thing. You will notice that it is that way the french speak. Heck, just rent some foriegn films, (Not the dubbed over ones) and you will discover that is a dialect. not a drug adiction, but then, hey, if you have trouble with drugs, care to comment on Bush and cocain???

No, they don't. These are Republicans, kiddo, remember? They didn't need evidence to invade Iraq, they don't need evidence to accuse Ms. Heinz of drug use.

Remember the Republican mantra: "It isn't true if we don't want it to be. It is true if we say it is."

Repeat hourly.

<< 'Four years of HELLLL!' >> This is the same lady that called Democrats "putrid" when she was married to a Republican. Her thoughts have apparently changed now that she's married to a Democrat. I'm not really concerned about her being 1st Lady. It's her husband I'm worried about if he should become President. But I agree she could make life "interesting" for her husband this election.

Please -- it's what she says, not how she says it.
