Well, I Guess I'm an Idiot

Buckethead Buckethead

I was just informed by Teresa Heinz-Kerry that I am an idiot. I was surprised by this, seeing as I've never met the woman, but here it is:

Teresa Heinz Kerry says "only an idiot" would fail to support her husband's health care plan. But Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, told the (Lancaster) Intelligencer Journal that "of course, there are idiots." Kerry's proposal includes health care subsidies for children, the unemployed, small companies and more; and government assistance to insurers and employers that keep premiums for workers down. If Kerry is elected, Heinz Kerry predicts that opponents of his health care plan will be voted out of office. She says, "Only an idiot wouldn't like this."

So?

My decision to not vote for Bush has nothing to do with Laura Bush. Why in the world should it?

My decision to not vote for Kerry has not been influenced by this either. But it tickled me that a political wife would be so gauche as to call the millions of people who disagree with her husband's policies "idiots."

I guess I just find the dissection of political wives gauche.

When the wives interject themselves into the issues by campaigning, then they become legitimate targets of debate. Both wives are campaigning, but Laura Bush has been pretty low-key about it.

I don't think its a matter of interjection - they have to - look at what the media did to Judy Dean for not wanting to campaign. Personally I think spouses campaigning serves no purpose whatsoever, making criticisms of their comments doubly pointless.
