Teresa Heinz Kerry, in a new outburst, told Vice President "Dick" Cheney to "Sit on my face!" in a chance encounter on New York's Third Avenue last night. Cheney was coming from a fitting at Pookie, Sebastian and Halliburton, the
upscale couturier on New York City's Upper East Side when the wife of Democratic
Presidential candidate John Kerry sighted him on the sidewalk and began pouring
contempt on the portly Vice President.
The feisty wannabe first lady also reportedly told Cheney to "Stick it
where the moon don't shine, fatso!" and to "Get stuffed."
Cheney, in town ahead of the Republican National Convention slated for the
end of the month, was apparently taken aback at Ms. Kerry's outspoken jibes, and
could only offer a weak "So's your mother!" as the glamorous Democratic
candidate's wife stepped into a waiting limousine. Bystanders egged on the Vice
President, hoping for a repeat of Cheney's feisty "Go f--- yourself!" delivered
to Senator Leahy of Vermont on the Senate floor over a month ago.
Ms. Kerry, who recently told a reporter for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
to "shove it," is gaining a reputation as a hot and spicy Latin babe. Born to
Portuguese parents in Mozambique, the outspoken red hot mama does not reserve
her high-spirited critiques for Republican candidates.
During the Democratic primary campaign, she publicly told Howard Dean to
"Eat me!" and suggested to Al Sharpton that he get a wig. She frequently ribs
Senator Kerry about his long jaw and skinny physique, telling him in front of
reporters that he needs to "put on some weight and hold off on the Botox."
Heinz Kerry in fact has a long history of confrontational encounters with
public figures. In 1987, as Co-Chair of the Congressional Wives for Soviet
Jewry, she challenged Raisa Gorbachev to "Let my people go!" Ms. Gorbachev
responded "F--- off, bubela!" at which Ms. Kerry, then Ms. Heinz, challenged the
Russian first lady to an arm-wrestling match.
Sports commentators and bookies are looking forward to the Presidential
Candidate's Wives debates this fall.
