Teresa Heinz-Kerry gave reporters an earful Thursday,
telling a Wendy’s cook to “go to hell” in five
different languages.
During a campaign stop in Natrona Heights,
Pennsylvania, Heniz- Kerry, wife of Democratic
presidential nominee John Kerry,
ordered a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger. Campaign aides
say the burger was “soggy” and “lacked sufficient
mayonnaise.”
Ms. Heinz-Kerry took two bites, threw the burger down
on her tray, and “stormed up to the register” with “a
look that could’ve burned a hole in the ozone layer.”
She immediately called out the cook, Casimir
Budzinski, and proceeded to call him “very nasty words
in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian.”
This latest Teresa tirade comes less than two weeks
after her speech at the Democratic National Convention
in Boston, where she addressed confused onlookers in
the aforementioned five languages.
“Ol’ Cas emigrated from Poland about a month ago, so
it was all Greek to him,” said an anonymous Wendy’s
spokesman. Mr. Budzinski apparently knows limited
English: mainly the basic condiments and some
rudimentary kitchen commands, including “Hurry the
hell up...this friggin’
car’s been at the drive-thru window for ten minutes!”
The trip turned out to be a disaster for the
Kerry/Edwards ticket. Mr. Kerry, who has a growing
reputation as a flip-flopper, “took about a half-hour
to decide whether or not he wanted mustard on his
burger” and consequently “turned everybody behind him
in line into Bush supporters,” Kerry campaign
aides said.
