Ich bin ein Immigrant
Teresa Heinz Kerry, the first-lady-wannabe who let us all know that she speaks five(?) languages, is at it again.
"In a hokey attempt to help her husband score points with Mexican-American audiences, Teresa Heinz Kerry will now and then inform them that she's 'an immigrant, too.'
"Yeah, and I'm Pancho Villa," Dallas Morning News columnist Ruben Navarette wrote yesterday.
"All this talk about how John F. Kerry wants to grow up to be John F. Kennedy, and here it's Teresa who sets out to lay claim to Kennedy's legacy of empathy. 'Ich bin ein immigrant.' "
Why can't these people just be themselves? FDR never tried to hide the fact that he grew up rich and lived rich. He never tried to be someone he wasn't. He let the force of his ideas speak for themselves. He connected with people though "fireside chats", frank, honest talk about the Great Depression and what he planned to do about it. Ronald Reagan also never pandered in this fashion. He was who he was and that was that. John Kerry and his wife need to drop the pretense.
