TERESA HEINZ KERRY, WIFE OF JOHN KERRY: We need to do well in Pennsylvania. We need to turn back some of the creeping un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics.

I didn't say that. I did not say that.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm just asking you...

T. KERRY: Why are you putting those words in my mouth?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Did you say something about un-American?

T. KERRY: No, I didn't say that. I did not say ... or un-American. Those are your words. Understandable. You said something I didn't say. Now shove it.

-Cute right? Dang Mrs. Kerry, if you gots beef with someone asking you questions, you have to have a valid reason. I mean, "shove it"? Those are some pretty harsh words. The guy wasn't even insulting you. Cute.

Actually I think I'm gonna throw up now. Thanks.

In Another Interview (Left Coast Report) ...

In another interesting turn, she brought up Streep's comments of late about the president's faith, in which the actress says, "Through the shock and awe, I wondered which of the megaton bombs Jesus, our president's personal savior, would have personally dropped on the sleeping families in Baghdad."

This prompted a fascinating exchange between Streep and [Denzel] Washington regarding, of all things, Scripture.

Streep brought up the following sayings and teachings of Jesus Christ: "'If a man smite thee on the cheek, let you turn the other that he may smite it also.' And He says, 'He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.' And He says, 'Love thine enemy.' Jesus could have raised an army against the people that persecuted him. He didn't. So that's what I was pointing out in my speech, and ... I couldn't imagine how Jesus would vote. Jesus was the Prince of Peace. Would the Prince of Peace vote for a war president?"

hahahahhahah!! WHHHHAAAT???

Washington responded by saying: "It's open to interpretation. Jesus also went into the temple and kicked everybody out."

oooh, whoops, good point, Denzel, vvvvery good point.

There was further debate between the two about money, with the multimillionaire Streep saying, "Money's bad," and Washington noting that "we all make money. So does that make us bad? Maybe he's talking about us?"

Ok, two things. Are you kidding me?!? and Hah, that's reeeeally cute, too. Listen Meryl, this is exactly why you are an actress and not a theologian. And actually, now that I'm thinking this over, maybe there should be more interviews with liberal stars out there. It just proves the point ever so much more that liberals just need to think before they speak out. Awesome that you are unashamed and know the need that people need to be informed, but for the sake of all mankind, think before you speeeeeak. And on top of that, please make sure what you're saying is even informed. Yikes..
