A Star's Gotta Shine

Damn, this is really devastating news from Country Store. I hope it's not true:

The Kerry camp is looking to pull Mrs. Kerry back after a slew of miscues, including what even the campaign now believes was a potentially disastrous convention speech for the woman who wants to be first lady. That was followed by Mrs. Kerry's claim that a cookie recipe submitted under her name to a "first lady bake off" contest organized by a national magazine was sent in by a possible political enemy.
...
For months there has been internal debate how best to use Terry Kerry in the campaign, and it now appears that the best way may be no way. "She's more willing to appear as the supportive wife than, say, Hillary was on the campaign trail," says the advance staffer. "But it's a limited upside for us. Unless it's in a real controlled setting, I don't think we want her out there too often."

Please don't deprive the people of our most precious jewel. She is woman and we want to hear her roar.

The first lady bake off.... I just keep shakin' my head when I read that, lol.

Well, if she goes into the background, this really will be a boring campaign!

Beautymrgn: "The first lady bakeoff..."

Here are a few of my "off the cuff" responses:

1) If Teresa can cook, then I'm the Pope!

2) Over the lips and past the gums, look out
stomach, ptomaine comes!

3) Where's that little Alka-Seltzer dude when
you need him?!

4) Why, Theresa! These cookies are as tasty
as my butt! Gimme the recipe!

I'd think of others, but this post would be too long.

I want her to get as much face time out there as possible! She's such a great advertisement for President Bush.
