Once again, Teresa Heinz puts her foot in it:

Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good. But I don't know that she's ever had a real job — I mean, since she's been grown up.

As Jim Geraghty writes:

What arrogance. Stunning, unmitigated arrogance!

From the White House:

Inspired by her second grade teacher, she earned a bachelor of science degree in education from Southern Methodist University in 1968. She then taught in public schools in Dallas and Houston. In 1973 she earned a master of library science degree from the University of Texas at Austin and worked as a public school librarian in Austin [until 1977].

Hey, teachers, librarians: Teresa Heinz Kerry says your work isn't a "real job"!

We can't all be ketchup heiresses, you know.

UPDATE: I missed the even more obvious point - Teresa says being a stay-at-home mom isn't a "real job."

Update: Geraghty notes that Teresa has since apologized. That's more than her husband has done to Mary Cheney and her parents.

Another Update: Hugh Hewitt notes, "But the most damning part of her first statement --being a mother isn't a "real job?" No retraction yet on that front."

And Karen Hughes adds:

Well, I think it's very nice that she apologized, but in some ways the apology almost made the comment worse, because she seems to have forgotten that being a mother is a real job. Again, I think her comment threw an inappropriate wedge between women who choose to work at home and women who choose to work outside the home. I think most women--and most men--would be offended by that, because most women want to be able to choose to do what's right for them, whether it's to stay with their families and work at home or to work outside the home pursuing a career.
