In her latest outburst against her political enemies, Teresa Heinz Kerry called her detractors "scumbags" during an interview with a Pittsburgh TV anchorwoman.
Name-calling has become frequent behavior for the wife of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry.
According to a report in the New Yorker, Kerry campaign advisers have struggled with Teresa's off-the-cuff remarks in the media.
"There are these bizarre moments that make you shudder," a Kerry adviser told the magazine. "Like calling herself African-American to black audiences."
Earlier this month, Heinz Kerry said voters who don't agree with her husbands health-care plans are "idiots."
Writes the New Yorker's Judith Thurman:
I doubt that she knows the literal meaning of "scumbag," but perhaps, after 40 years in America, nearly 13 of them as a political wife, observing how the flaws and contradictions of a personality as complex as hers are melted down for ammunition by the other side, she should have learned it. Close friends attribute her lapses of discretion to "naïveté." Heinz Kerry says that they are a form of resistance to enforced conformity. "I don't like to be told, for told's sake," how to behave, she says, "because I lived in a dictatorship for too long."
Heinz Kerry was born and raised in Mozambique, which was ruled by the Fascist government of António Salazar while she lived there.
As WorldNetDaily reported, in July Heinz Kerry told a journalist from a Pittsburgh paper to "shove it" after he questioned her use of the term "un-American" in a speech.

He also had the "F word" and sh!t on his official campaign website.

"Specifically, John Kerry has a potty mouth, and apparently has no sense how this will play. He famously was using the word "f*ck" in a formal interview with Rolling Stone last year."
Heres the part where he swore "I voted for what I thought was best for the country. Did I expect Howard Dean to go off to the left and say, 'I'm against everything'? Sure. Did I expect George Bush to f - - - it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did," Kerry told the youth-oriented magazine."
This opinion piece explains things a little better concerning Bush's use of the word a$$hole and why it wasn't necessarily bad and on Kerry saying the "F word" in Rolling Stone Magazine

"To the rest of America, however, when a man who runs for president deliberately uses the F-word in an interview with a national magazine, it is cause for concern. Nearly all non-liberals and even some liberals would regard such a person as one who has a different understanding of what preserves our civilization.
I do not believe for a moment that Sen. Kerry wishes to destroy this civilization's rules of order. But I do believe that many well-intentioned Democrats and liberals such as Sen. Kerry do not understand what makes our civilization great (the most significant example being the preservation of the Judeo-Christian value system). I also believe he used the F-word thinking it would impress the largely liberal and hip young readers of Rolling Stone. In other words, Sen. Kerry believes he can appeal to many liberals by coming off as one who has overthrown some of the disciplines of our society."
"If John Kerry curses on occasion in the company of his staff or his wife, that is not the public's concern. But if he uses the F-word in public in an interview, that is the public's concern. Many people do not understand this public-private distinction. That is why some callers to my radio show objected that I had never criticized President Bush's use of the word "a--hole" to describe a New York Times reporter. I explained that the president used the word only in a private remark to Dick Cheney when he assumed there was no microphone present.
The difference between using an expletive when you think no one can hear you and when you want the world to hear you should be obvious to everyone."
Dick Cheney
He's survived many a maelstrom in politics.
The presidents he's worked for haven't fared as well.
Theresa Kerry was taken out of context as was reported.

My friends and I took a second look at John Kerry when we realized that Teresa, who is such a strong and independent woman, decided to share her life with him, because of qualities he had that weren’t immediately apparent to us.
She's definitely a plus for him, as far as we're concerned!

So out of context reporting of every word said by politicians and their wives is more important to discuss than the issues?
