He\u2019s in Michigan, and he said “buckeye.” Buckeye football in Michigan is Ohio State. When you say “Buckeye” (Laughing) it means nothing, and it\u2019s Woody Hayes, it\u2019s Ohio State and they don\u2019t like each other. It\u2019s a huge. It\u2019s a great college football rivalry, and apparently Kerry, because he didn\u2019t know who the manager of the Red Sox was when he went to the game the Monday night before the convention, or the Sunday night before the convention. He had to get briefed on the airplane who the manager was and the big stars of the team were. So the boos, the boos started raining down on him. He “seemed to realize his error. In an attempt to silent the angry crowd of University of Michigan<\/a> supporters, Kerry said, ‘But that was while I was in Ohio. I know I\u2019m in the state of Michigan and you got a great big M and a powerhouse of a team.'” (Laughing.) “You got a great big M!” (Laughing.) I just love it when these people that live up in the clouds try to come down. It\u2019s like when his wife goes into Wendy\u2019s and looks at the menu board, which has pictures of every item and she doesn\u2019t know what anything is. She points! (Laughing.) I\u2019m sorry, folks. She points to the chili and says, “What\u2019s that<\/emphasize>?” (Laughing.) Somebody said, “Chili,” and she says, “I\u2019ll have that.” <\/line> She actually threw it away. This was in Newberg, NY, and they threw it away, and Edwards and the Kerrys went out on the bus and they had a catered five course meal brought in from some chef at the Newberg Yacht Club and they threw away the stuff they bought at Wendy\u2019s (Laughing) on the Edwards\u2019 27th anniversary! I just love it when this kind of stuff happens. I just love it, but I have to tell you, it just amazes me, because I remember when George H. W. Bush “didn\u2019t know what a supermarket scanner was,” and that was a scandal! <\/emphasize>I mean, that was a scandal for a whole week, and whatever a Republican didn\u2019t know what the price of milk, that\u2019s <\/emphasize>a scandal. Here\u2019s the wife of a presidential candidate not know what\u2019s chili is when she\u2019s looking at a picture of it<\/emphasize>. You know, it\u2019s a good thing they didn\u2019t do that in Ohio, because Ohio is where Dave Thomas founded Wendy\u2019s. Now, speaking of that — I mentioned this in the last hour. (program observer interruption) You looked at me, Mr. Snerdley, like you hadn\u2019t heard this. This is also put from the Prowler, which is a column at the American Spectator Online, and I don\u2019t know who this guy is. <\/line>I don\u2019t know who the Prowler is, but the Prowler has connections in the Kerry campaign, and the people with the Kerry campaign, some of them, you know, it\u2019s obviously not ought sweetness and light in this campaign because some of the things that these people say are not complimentary to the candidate. Listen to this. I mentioned this to you last hour. “Very briefly the Kerry campaign considered sending potential first lady Teresa Heinz Kerry into New York yesterday to visit the New York Stock Exchange or the Citicorp building, both of which were under increased security due to potential terrorism threats,” and Laura Bush was there, as you know. “A Kerry advance staffer, quote: “We nixed it when we realized she might actually have to interact with real people in an unstaged event. It isn\u2019t something we\u2019re looking to do, given the beating we\u2019ve taken over the convention speech.” Now, I know when I said this last hour, many of you thought I\u2019m making this up or trying to crack a joke. I\u2019m not. This is a quote attributed to a Kerry advance staffer. <\/line>“‘We realized she might actually have to interact with real people in an unstaged event so we nixed it.\u2019 The Kerry camp is looking to pull her 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 her claim that a cookie recipe submitted under her name to a first lady bake-off contest [laughing] organized by a national magazine was sent in by a possible political enemy.” (laughing) What was this recipe? It was pumpkin spice cookies, and she said, “I didn\u2019t send this in. I hate pumpkin spice cookies.” So now they think it was a dirty trick! (Laughing.) Oh, ho, ho, ho! I can\u2019t believe these people are thinking this. I know she blamed it on a staffer. Now the staffer is blaming it on a political enemy — or the staffer, based on some of these quotes, the staffer could be the political enemy.<\/line>“Another underreported event…” Now, this is the Prowler\u2019s version of it, just so you don\u2019t think I\u2019m making this up. “Another underreported event took place last weekend at Wendy\u2019s…” Oh, I\u2019m sorry, it was in Ohio. It wasn\u2019t in Newberg, New York. This was at a different Wendy\u2019s, where the Kerrys and Edwards double-dated to celebrate the Edwards wedding anniversary. “Mrs. Kerry was unable to identify a single thing on the menu she was willing to eat. While she\u2019s looking at the pictures of the items, she ended up pointing at a picture of Wendy\u2019s chili after much deliberation that was what she chose to order. For months,” it says here, “there has been internal debate how best to use Teresa Heinz Kerry in the campaign. It now appears the best way may be no way. She\u2019s more willing to appear as the supportive wife than say Hillary was on the campaign trail, says the advance staffer but it\u2019s a limited upside for us unless it\u2019s a real controlled setting, I don\u2019t think we want her out there too often.” This is from a Kerry advance staffer.<\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
