Not Ready for Prime Time (cont.) By The MinuteMan Theresa Heinz Kerry jumps back into our "Not Ready for Prime Time" comedy with her latest. Matt Drudge blared it, but the AP has more details: Teresa Heinz Kerry urged her home-state delegates to the Democratic National Convention to restore a more civil tone to American politics, then minutes later told a newspaperman to "shove it." "We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics," the wife of Sen. John Kerry told her fellow Pennsylvanians on Sunday night at a Massachusetts Statehouse reception. Minutes later, Colin McNickle, the editorial page editor of the conservative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, questioned her on what she meant by the term "un-American," according to a tape of the encounter recorded by Pittsburgh television station WTAE. Heinz Kerry said, "I didn't say that" several times to McNickle. She then turned to confer with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and others. When she faced McNickle again a short time later, he continued to question her, and she replied, "You said something I didn't say. Now shove it." The un-American tone? Has Ms. Heinz Kerry been naturalized, or is this a self-referential nod to her "Asses of Evil" days?

In fact, one says the thrust of the federal investigation now looking into Mr. Berger's actions should center not necessarily on what was taken from the archived files but what was placed in them. That was one of my key questions. The reports indicated Berger took all 4 or 5 copies of the same document. When asked to return them, he returned only some and then only after several days. In the meantime he made several trips to examine the same documents he was taking home. The obvious question of whether he returned the same documents he took...was overlooked by news media. If he returned doctored documents, he should be allowed to sacrifice his life for his country. And adding an entirely new layer of intrigue to the story is word that telephone calls made by Berger during those latter two visits may have been monitored by an "unauthorized agency." If Berger thought he could speak openly about those highly classified documents on a cell phone or unsecure land line in Wash DC and not he overheard, he really is an idiot. If he did so, it is another serious security breach.
