Teresa Heinz Kerry: "Shove it"!

Teresa Heinz Kerry speaking to Pennsylvania delegates of the 2004 Democratic National Convention at the Massachusetts Statehouse on Monday, July 26, 2004, first day of the convention: "We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian, and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics."
After the speech she was questioned by reporter Colin McNickle of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "...did you mean by un-American?... You mentioned 'un-American'..."
Heinz Kerry: "No, I didn't say that."
McNickle: "What did you mean?"
Heinz Kerry: "I didn't say that."
Kerry campaign aide: "We're not doing questions here."
Heinz Kerry: "I didn't say that."
McNickle: "I'm just asking what you said."
Heinz Kerry: "Why do you put those words in my mouth?"
McNickle: "You said something about un-American..."
Heinz Kerry, interrupting: "No, I didn't say that."
McNickle, continuing: "...activity."
Heinz Kerry: "I did not say 'activity' or 'un-American.' "
Campaign aide: "We're not..."
Heinz Kerry: "Those are your words. You can record it and listen to it."
Heinz Kerry, speaking to someone else: "You know what the question is? He said that I called this an un-American activity. I did not."
Heinz Kerry, speaking again to McNickle: "Are you with the Tribune-Review?"
McNickle: "Yes, I am."
Heinz Kerry: "Of course."
McNickle: "C'mere."
Heinz Kerry: "Understandable. You said something I didn't say. Now shove it."
