DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

They're so desperate for anything they can use to attack Kerry, they seized on his wife:

Q: Do you have a role model for first lady in mind?

A: The one thing I've learned from watching is that there really isn't a model, because every person coming in is different. Their experiences are different, and times have changed.

Q: You'd be different from Laura Bush?

A: Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good. But I don't know that she's ever had a real job — I mean, since she's been grown up. (Related story: Heinz Kerry apologizes for comments) So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things. And I'm older, and my validation of what I do and what I believe and my experience is a little bit bigger — because I'm older, and I've had different experiences. And it's not a criticism of her. It's just, you know, what life is about.

I think Teresa Heinz Kerry is delightful; I'd love to be her when I grow up. And most rational people knew what she meant - that Laura Bush may have had jobs, but not necessarily a career.

This wingnut bunch is so sensitive. Maybe they should just stay home with the TV off.
