Quote:Heinz Kerry attended a Massachusetts Statehouse reception Sunday night for fellow Pennsylvanians, telling them, "We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics." She criticized the tenor of modern political campaigns without being specific.

Minutes later, the Tribune-Review's Colin McNickle questioned Heinz Kerry on what she meant by the term "un-American," according to a tape of the encounter recorded by Pittsburgh television station WTAE.

Heinz Kerry said "I didn't say that" several times to McNickle. She then turned to confer with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and others. When she faced McNickle again a short time later, he continued to question her, and she replied: "You said something I didn't say. Now shove it."

<a href='http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/TheNote/TheNote.html' target='_blank'>The Note (ABC News)</a> has an actual transcript.

"We need to turn back some of the creepy (long pause) un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that have come into our some of our politics … "

One take: She is talking about politics in general and is NOT directly referencing the Bush campaign when she makes this statement.

Another take: it's convention week — she's obviously referencing Bush.

The editorial reporter is Colin McNickle.

Here's a verbatim transcript, courtesy of ABC's Jan Simmonds:
McNickle (Tribune editorialist): (inaudible) … Un-American activity? You mentioned un-American?
THK: No, I did not say that.
M: What did you mean?
THK: I did not say that (pointing finger at reporter).
M: Well, what did you say?
THK: I did not say that.
M: I am just asking what did you say.
THK: Why are you putting those words in my mouth?
M: I thought you said something about being un-American?
THK: No I did not say that.

Later, Ms. Heinz Kerry returns.
THK to M: Are you from the Tribune Review?
M: Yes I am.
THK: Of course. (turns away quickly)
M: Come here. (taping her on the elbow)
THK: (Turns back to reporter) Understandable. You said something I didn't say, now shove it …

so is she like her hubby?
sez something and denies saying it later and then gets a little miffed when pestered about it.
