The African Queen

Her Ketchupdom for a dictionary.

“I think the American people are beginning to see the dichotomy between terrorism on the one hand and Iraq on the other. There’re not the same. The only thing that is the same is that Iraq has made terrorism worse, not better. … It’s exasperated terrorism worldwide,” Teresa Heinz Kerry said during a brief news conference at Franklin Canyon Park.

An exasperated terrorist is a dangerous terrorist. John F. Kerry would, with her help, work towards a world in which terrorists are happy and content.


She told them

  1. Well, just to be fair, The Pickle undoubtedly meant to say “exacerbated” instead of “exasperated.” In fact, she may well have said “exacerbated,” and the fine journalist who transcribed the quote is unfamiliar with the word.
    I’m no Kerry or Heinz apologist, I just see where it could have been a different numbskull who was exposing their ignorance.

  2. Oh, I know what she meant to say. It was more fun to take it face value.
    I’ll wait for the correction before assuming she may have been misquoted. I have a feeling she wasn’t – read that passage again. She barely makes sense.
