I can't believe that the Kerry campaign is making an issue of the fact that Vice President Cheney received a flu shot even though he is an elderly heart patient. Does that mean Bill Clinton is evil too?

Aside from being petty, it denies the true face of the elitists who the Democrats want to run the country. Eevn though she apologized, Theresa Heinz-Kerry made one of the most unfortunate statements I've ever heard from the wife of a political candidate.

"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," Heinz Kerry said. "But I don't know that she's ever had a real job — I mean, since she's been grown up.

Regardless of how many years Laura Bush spent as a teacher and librbarian, the statement totally dismisses any woman like my wife (or any father for that matter), who chooses the self-sacrifice of staying home to raise their children instead of dumping them in day care for self-validation or material gain. (This of course does not refer to single-moms and others for whom day care is a necessity).

People who like Theresa Heinz Kerry shouldn't confuse intelligent and "honest" for smart.
