More "Shove it" Coverage 

There is much being made about Ms. Heinz Kerry telling a reporter to "shove it". I think conservatives/republicans should lay off. It is not very becoming, but Dick Cheney told a congressman to "F%$# Off" and George W was caught calling someone an "A@# hole". As they say, "Those in glass houses, should not throw stones."

Good point, although the first thing that occurred to me was that the Dems finger-pointed when those incidents occurred but passed off T. Kerry as feisty and sassy. So I'm not surprised when the other side ignores their guys but jumps on this.

I'm as bad but in a different way. I'm not surprised when the men swear, but want a higher standard of behavior from the women. Of course, being one may have something to do with that ...

The question was a legimate one from a reporter and, incidentally, one she still has not answered. The story of what she means by "un-American" is still to be written. "Shove it" was premeditated arrogance -- look at the video of the incident. The provocation is entirely in her mind because it is not on the videotape. She said "un-American" and then almost immediately denied saying it.
