John F. Kerry has no problem with his wife: 1) lying about what she said, and 2) making nasty comments to a reporter immediately after calling for “civility:” Democrats Defend Heinz Kerry’s ‘Shove It’.

Hillary Clinton says, “You go, girl.”

BOSTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry doesn’t have a problem with his wife telling an insistent journalist to “shove it” when urged to explain her plea for more civility in politics. Neither does Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“I think my wife speaks her mind appropriately,” Kerry told reporters Monday when asked about the exchange between his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, and the editorial page editor of the conservative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Asked about the response on CNN’s “American Morning,” Clinton said Monday, “A lot of Americans are going to say, ‘Good for you, you go, girl,’ and that’s certainly how I feel about it.”

Classic damage control tactics.
