Letting Teresa Heinz-Kerry Speak Her Mind

Teresa has said that had she known that her husband John was going to run for President that may have changed her mind on becoming Mrs. Kerry. She has always been outspoken and rude, and it is common knowledge that she is not looking out for the "little people" or the average American, you and I.
Kerry advisors have done a fantastic job of keeping the Queen Bee's mouth shut and keeping her on target with her campaign speeches, while she stumps for her husband. It is no secret that she was not interested in becoming a political wife when her first husband, the late John Heinz decided to run for public office way back when. At the beginning of this campaign season she was rarely seen stumping for her husband, and didn't even take his name until last year! She has been known to speak about her late husband with great affection without mentioning the one she shares her life with now. Unless of course she is sharing private details of their business transaction-like marriage, including the pre-nuptial agreement.
In her latest escapade of political trash talking she told a reporter to "Shove it." Apparently Mrs. Kerry thinks that this is appropriate, and acceptable language and behavior. John has refused to apologize and says "My wife speaks her mind appropriately." Really? Harassing reporters is hardly the way to win the vote of the American people. Not that one reporter can do much damage when CNN devotes a whole weekend to Kerry, his family & the running mate, the American people will have a hard time getting the whole truth.
Of course there is one upside to this whole fiasco. While some are disgusted by how uncouth T.H.K. is, others find it charming. One of those "others" is none other than Mrs. Hillary Rodham-Clinton. I can't say I am surprised though. Clinton and Kerry must be best friends or will shortly become best friends. They can make fun of the average Joe and the woman who chooses to stay at home and "bake cookies and have teas." I think the more that Heinz-Kerry opens her mouth, and the more that Rodham-Clinton stumps in her defense, the better off we all will be.
The best weapon in this situation is to let them keep talking. Sooner or later the real Teresa will come out, and when she does, no one will want to play.
