Open mouth, insert foot AGAIN!

Poor old Teresa. She just can't seem to figure out when it is a good time to keep her mouth shut. She went off blathering about how she would be a better first lady than Laura Bush and then totally stuck her foot in her mouth.

My favorite quote from the faux pas (to quote a little of her hubby's French) from the interview published Wednesday in USA TODAY regarding if she would be different from Laura Bush as a first lady:

"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."

Those 10 years or so as a librarian and teacher are no big deal. Not to mention being a full-time mom is TO ME a REAL job. Hello. I work harder now that I stay at home than I EVER did as a reporter or PIO. Absolutely. Before I worked maybe eight to 10 hours a day. Now, I'm on the job 24/7.

I'll give Teresa credit, she did apologize for "forgetting" about Mrs. Bush's job experience, but she really needs to learn when to just give it a rest and be gracious for a moment. I know, that is asking too much of her.
