GOP's latest strategy... Bash Teresa... and in the next chapter

[POed_Ex_Repub]

Drudge is already floating around something *be sure to give that the mental image it deserves* with a headline

INTRIGUE BUILDS AROUND UNEARTHED TERESA HEINZ INTERVIEW... DEVELOPING...

I wonder if that's the 9:00pm revelation Novak was talking about... I bet it is. Curveball coming our way...

Edited for spelling

1. they smell blood and are going to bash her incessantly

I figured they would start soon. Attack the women, scare the kids - typical fascists.

2. I don't know how any woman

can go along with this a strategy. It's sooooo annoying.

[theivoryqueen]

4. Democratic chix or GOPper-stops?

really any woman should refuse to participate in the degradation of ANY woman - including the so-called republican women. (I say so called as I still suspect they are robots)

3. Exactly...

Republican women must only support and never speak out, unless you are Karen Hughes. Then again, she is more of a man than woman, so confusing.

5. I'm sorry, but I think making too much of an issue

of the candidate's wife can backfire. We'll have to see.

6. Limbaugh hinted it would be remarks she made about T Kennedy...

when she was John Heinz's wife.

Anyone who thinks this "Bash Teresa" hasn't been planned for months is fooling themselves. Oh, I don't think they anticipated the "Shove It" comment, but they had the needle out and the cameras rolling.

8. If Ted Kennedy doesn't care

why would anyone else?

7. The Repukes Are Miscalculating Again

If they think they can attack Theresa, let them.

Women will come to her defense, and realize that her actions are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

If the Democrats have come to understand that they shouldn't bash Bush because it will turn off voters, can you imagine how the woman of this country will react to a Repuge bashing of Theresa.

9. The same thing happened with Hillary in 1992

Teresa can take it, and dish it out.

10. Even GOP women bash other women.

Don't expect courtly behavior, for the most part, from the GOP. Exceptions would include people like Senator John Warner (VA); he's a gracious type, even with people with whom he disagrees.

But Dick Armey and Barbara Bush mere proved eons ago that the GOP can wield rather a nasty tongue. Remember Armey's rude remarks to Hillary Clinton? Remember "Rhymes with rich" comments from Bar?

The bash-Teresa shtick is pretty much what I expected. How is Kerry going to handle it? I know he won't take it lying down.
