These are the people running our country, and I would expect them to act/speak with a little more maturity and finesse than what Heinz-Kerry and Dick Cheney did in their respective situations.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has been <a href="http://www.heinz.org/index.asp?loc=K,K2025&title=The%20Truth%20About%20Heinz%20and%20Tides">on a crusade to destroy the Heinz Foundation's credibility</a>. I think the relationship between Scaife's background and his paper's unfounded attacks on the Heinz Foundation are the source of this tension. Not to mention the fact that when Theresa said "unAmerican" she was referring to a type of attack on her husband and politicians in general, and not, as the reporter tried to suggest, the event itself.
