“But I Don’t Know That She’s Ever Had a Real Job “

Is there any better indication of how far out of touch Kerry and his wife are, than this?

“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. So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things.”

OK, I know, she’s issued a lame apology for this, (She said “There cannot be a more important job than teaching our children.”) and I know this was a kind of knee jerk reaction to a question, but that’s exactly the point I’m making. Knee-jerk comments usually reveal what’s at the core of a person’s mind.

Think also; Even in her apology she is arrogantly suggesting that full time mothers, RAISING the kids isn’t the most important job… Teaching them is… (It takes not parents, but a Village…) perhaps that’s because most schoolteachers are under direct governmental control, and strongly union…(can YOU say NEA?)?

And Captain Ed, yesterday, took up this issue, pointing out that Mrs Heinz-Kerry hasn’t had a real job ever, period. When she was gainfully employed, it was as a member of the UN bureaucracy!.  Since then, she’s discovered marrying into power is easier than obtaining it herself… And the comparisons between her and Hitlery are rather apt on this point; wasn’t it Hillary who made the quip about staying home and baking cookies?

Update: I’m less than convinced, upon thinking about this, that she really issued this apology herself. I suspect rather that someone in Kamp Kerry took it upon themselves to issue this one FOR her. This I would take as indication of serious worry on the part of Kamp Kerry for this woman’s public blatherngs. It also makes sense when you consider she’s never apologized for such previously.

Trouble is, in both her original statement, and in the apology whoever wrote it, Mrs Heinz-Kerry is exposed as an out of touch elitist. Now what would John Kerry find in such a package, I wonder… I mean.. I may ahve misjudged Kerry, here.. and it’s not about the money after all… could it be that in this out of touch elitist, he found kindred soul, perhaps?

Hmmm.
