Lurch and her Heinous have weighed in to support Teresa:
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry doesn't have a problem with his wife telling an insistent journalist to "shove it" when urged to explain her plea for more civility in politics. Neither does Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"I think my wife speaks her mind appropriately," Kerry told reporters Monday when asked about the exchange between his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, and the editorial page editor of the conservative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Asked about the response on CNN's "American Morning," Clinton said Monday, "A lot of Americans are going to say, 'Good for you, you go, girl,' and that's certainly how I feel about it."

Rep. Don Sherwood, a Pennsylvania congressman who offered rebuttals to the Democratic convention on behalf of the Bush-Cheney campaign, said Heinz Kerry can get carried away.
"We'd love to have her spend a lot more campaign time in Pennsylvania," Sherwood said. "I just think the more we see of Teresa, the better it'll be for the Bush campaign."
Next Zsa Zsa sighting expected on Tuesday when she addresses the convention. In the meantime, below is my own contribution to civility. Hey, I'm just turning "back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics."
