Vanessa Kerry's comments on getting boo'ed--she is a fighter!

[wndycty]

Unlike Bush or his daughters, Vanessa and we would assume her entire Kerry/Heinz and now Edwards family, do not need to limit their appearances to friendly crowds. . .more power to them!

Speaking to CNN afterward, Vanessa Kerry said the booing had "scared" her, but added, "We're fighting for something so strongly, I will go up there and hear the whole arena boo if it means connecting with one person."

She also said it was "surreal" to appear at the VMAs, known for having one of the most energetic and responsive crowds of any awards show.

1. Just like her dad.

It's why Kerry slogged through every town in Iowa, listened to every voter, answered every question- he really wants this!!!

7. I've read that Kerry during the primaries would often

not leave a Q & A session until he'd convinced everyone - or almost everyone - that he would be the best nominee. I like that dedication. :D

3. from what I understand it wasn't that they were so much booing her and

her sister, but that politics was brought into the award show:shrug:

Who cares. MTV sucks

4. I had an entirely different impression of the booing...

It seemed to me
I checked with a 7-degrees of seperation friend who attended the VMA's and was told that the audience was quite receptive to the Kerry girls... they started booing shortly after, and right as the big screen behind them displayed the Bush twins.

For what it's worth....

5. I'm not sure what happened. because the announcer kinda

screwed up the introduction. I thought it was the bush girls, but then they ended up on the projection screens. so I'm not sure if the crowd was booing because of the interruption of politics into their partying, or they thought the kerry girls, were bush's daughters.
