LOOSE LIPS (Teresa Heinz Kerry---not exactly an asset)

Sen John Kerry's ketchup heiress wife, Teresa Heinz, is shaping up to be no help in his bid for the White House.

The other day Heinz made a bizarre speech to the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus in which she failed to mention Kerry even once.

The Boston Herald described it as a "35-minute harangue about hormones and the big, bad pharmaceutical companies' conspiracy against women."

One attendee described it as "endless, pointless and confusing" and "far, far too technical," noting people all but ran for the door.

.....Heinz made a bizarre speech to the Mass Women's Political Caucus in which she failed to mention Kerry even once. ........

Guess Hitlery gave her a few pointers.....LOL.

Mass Women's Caucus ....must be one liberal sucker of a choice-salivating mob.

[counterpunch]

I somehow misread "Teresa Heinz" as "Monica Lewinsky" at first glace.
Not sure how that happened...

[xJones]

Liz, the things husbands put up with for only $860 million.....it's a crying shame, I tell you.

[Liz]

Freudian?

[Liz]

Yeah, watta pity. LOL.

[PJ-Comix]

Like the Shrink said---Just Plain NUTS!!!

[NeoCaveman]

Terry Kerry ping!

[secret garden]

Not just old. Wacky too.

[John Jorsett]

Notice that she's Teresa Heinz Kerry these days. That's enough like Hillary to give me flashbacks to a scarier time.

[NeoCaveman]

Wacky too.

Wacky, how? I'm sure lots of married women refer to their long dead first husband as "my husband".... nothing goofy here :^)

[bonfire]

She's a fruitcake. I can just imagine their homelife. Not.

[Little Bill]

Ratettes of the worse stripe.

Our primary issues are:

Reproductive freedoms and the right to choice

Equal and civil rights for all citizens regardless of sexual orientation, religion, race

Support for the Equal Rights Amendment

Accessible and affordable child care

[Liz]

HRC redux as THK.......a horrible thought.

[Liz]

Puke and hurl......

[kimosabe31]

Let's hope she keeps up the good work. After a few more abortive appearances however, the dems will probably put her thru finishing school before the fall election.

[meenie]

Don't criticize her so much that Kerry starts getting a sympathy vote.

[xJones]

the dems will probably put her thru finishing school before the fall election

Uh oh.

I don't suppose you're suggesting some Democratic finishing school in Switzerland? Ft. Marcy Park has already been reserved in the U.S..

[WV Mountain Mama]

Not to be confused with hara kiri.

[Liz]

Maybe Ho Ho Dean can give her a few speaking tips and Dr Judy Dean, some tips on hair styles....LOL.

[NeoCaveman]

Don't criticize her so much that Kerry starts getting a sympathy vote.

True. It's so terrible to be married to a woman worth over 700 million dollars.....

My heart bleeds for him.....

NOT

[Twinkie]

I saw a post on an animal rights website where she had
supposedly stated that rabbit was a perfect food for
children. They were quite concerned about their animal
rights position. I was just lurking, but I wanted to tell
them that these people probably ate scads of little fish
eggs (caviar) as well as filet mignon, cocque au vin,
baby partridges, French snails, Germen schnecken in herb
butter, buttered butterfly tongues and veal ala marsala
every night of the week. I just couldn't get connected to
the posting apparatus.

[pointsal]

How much good luck can one fellow have :) Let's have more little Terri!

[BurbankKarl]

Theresa Heinz was a Republican up until a couple months ago...

just have her keep talking...

[Liz]

She sounds like she's on uppers and No-Doz at the same time.

I understand that she has portraits of her first husband and Kerry facing each other in her foyer (pronounced foy-ahh). I also read that Mrs. Heinz Kerry wears the engagement rings from both husbands, simultaneously. That just tells me Mr. Kerry is somewhat of a wimp.

[kcvl]

Although Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., sits on the Senate Commerce Committee that likely will have a role in shaping any Medicare drug package, his wife Teresa, a Heinz family heiress, owned shares in eight drug companies worth $2.1 million to $4.2 million.

[NeoCaveman]

That just tells me Mr. Kerry is somewhat of a wimp.

When you are just a gigolo you got to put up with a lot of crap from your meal ticket.

[the invisib1e hand]

yeah, I heard about that. I think it was called "Angry Menopausal Women of Politics," or "The Estrogen Monologues" or something.

[NeoCaveman]

I think it was called "Angry Menopausal Women of Politics,"

I thinj that was what Rush was talking about when he mentioned the "Vagina Filibuster"

Heinz Kerry made trips Wednesday to Davenport and Clinton, areas that have suffered economically since the mid-1980s. In a discussion that touched on several issues, she said cities that are losing young people can rebound. "We've come around," said Heinz Kerry, who has been recognized for contributing to the redevelopment of Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania.

She also is noted for developing strategies to protect the environment, improve education and broaden economic opportunities. And she rejected the notion that preserving the environment has to come at the expense of jobs.

She also said the country should invest more in children earlier, noting the country spends thousands on people who end up in jail. "We need a Marshall plan for children," she said, referring to the post-World War II rebuilding of Europe.

In promoting her husband, Heinz Kerry - who married Sen. Kerry in 1995 after the two met at an environmental conference in Brazil - called him a leader in foreign policy issues. "He's not afraid of the world," she said, adding, "he's a very persistent fighter. He's a cool-headed fighter."

[Henchster]

Did you say just a gigolo? I thought so:

[the invisib1e hand]

(pronounced foy-ahh).

if you'll pardon me, I believe that's fouy-ah.

[NeoCaveman]

He left his wife for an even richer widow

He left his wife (in a mental institution) for an even richer widow.

[Capt. Tom]

Freudian?

I think Carl Cameron (Campaign Carl)had a Freudian slip on Fox News tonight.

When he was reporting the AFSME union had pulled their endorsement for Howard Dean he said he didn't know if hey would "Lurch " to Kerry. - tom

[Jaysun]

I've watched several of her amusing performances during Kerry's campaign. She always looks like she about three breaths away from a total collapse. She sits in the corner of the stage while Johnny rants and when it's her turn she can barely muster the strength to bring herself to her feet. Once she's up and has the microphone, she shuffles in front of the stage and looks at the floor as she drools out some inaudible blather. It seems likely to me that she abuses horse tranquilizers.

[secret garden]

Or foy-yay', depending on who taught you French.

Campaigning in African American Churches (Seperation of Church and State ONLY applies to the "little people" (like us) and/or Republicans (Democrats get a pass, expecially in African American churches)...Barry Lynn where are you?!

On Sunday, Teresa Heinz Kerry was in metro Detroit stumping for Michigan's Feb. 7 Democratic caucus. She visited four churches and the North American International Auto Show with former Gov. Jim Blanchard and his wife, Janet, and state Sen. Buzz Thomas.

The day starts early for Kerry, who's not a morning person. Running a little late, she descends in an elevator to the lobby of Greektown's Atheneum Hotel, looking trim and casually chic in a gray pinstriped pantsuit and stiletto-heeled shoes, a yellow sweater thrown over her shoulders.

At each church, she tells the mostly African-American congregations that she grew up in colonial East Africa and marched against apartheid as a college student in South Africa.

At Great Faith Ministries, Bishop Wayne Jackson places his hands on her forehead and offers her a blessing. Kerry stands quietly for it, holding her palms up.

At the auto show, she focuses on the American cars, paying close attention to a Ford Escape hybrid.

"You can fit a lacrosse stick in the back, you can fit hockey equipment," she says afterward, back at the Atheneum. "It's fuel efficient in the city and big enough for a family."


Fluent in five languages, she worked for the United Nations as an interpreter before marrying Heinz in 1966.



In 1992, she got to know John Kerry at an Earth Summit in Brazil. They married in 1995.



Like most wealthy movers and shakers, Kerry lives in several homes and is close to a network of influential people. During her Detroit trip, she's accompanied by a longtime pal, Melinda Blinken, wife of a former ambassador. As the Kerry caravan drives by Henry Ford Hospital on West Grand Boulevard, Blinken pulls out her cell phone.

"Charlotte, I just passed by your hospital," Blinken says to Charlotte Ford, daughter of Henry Ford II. "I'm with Teresa."


"The kind of campaigning I do is not, generally speaking, handshakes, chat, chat, chat. What I do best is when I'm with a group of 20, 40, 100, where you can see people's faces and have a conversation . . . If I couldn't do that, I would be pretty frustrated." Talking about a first lady's role, she has this to say: "Probably the most important thing a spouse -- eventually I hope it's a man -- of a president has to do is keep them honest, remember who they are, not let people who'll say anything derail them, keep them strong and healthy and keep them hopeful."

This is one topic where it's easy for her to stay on message.

"They keep asking, 'Wwho's your favorite first lady, Wwho are you going to be like,' " she says. "I say I'm going to be me."

importance of pensions and savings to their retirement security (When your dead husband leaves you with $800 MILLION DOLLARS)

In other words, YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO INVEST YOUR OWN MONEY. Teresa (Te-RAY-sa) Heinz (now)Kerry, will TELL YOU what you NEED to know and how YOU NEED to invest for your retirement (IF there is ANYTHING left when HER HUSBAND is (God forbid) President). No tax-cuts for you, you STUPID LITTLE PEOPLE.

---

Teresa Heinz Kerry has helped to educate women on the vital importance of pensions and savings to their retirement security. To further this work, in 1996, she established the Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER), a Washington-based think tank. She underwrote both the publication of a nationally acclaimed book, Pensions in Crisis and the creation and production of a magazine supplement ----What Every Woman Needs to Know About Money and Retirement---- that was published in Good Housekeeping and in US Airway's Attaché magazine, and has been translated into Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish. In March 1999, she testified before a House Ways and Means Committee in Washington on the circumstances and needs of poor elderly women in America.

Since 1995, she has sponsored and hosted annual conferences open to the public on Women's Health and the Environment in Boston, bringing women together with health, environmental, and policy experts. She believes that the conventional concept of the environment -- involving only the traditional "green" issues such as air and water quality -- is no longer adequate to the lives that people (and especially women) live today. The design of office equipment and work systems, the architecture of the built environment, and the extent of chemical and pesticide exposure all have significant implications for women's health and well being. The Women's Health and the Environment conferences (the eighth will be held in October in Boston) examine key health issues confronting women in the workplace and the home, including sick building syndrome, ergonomics, and the significance of the workplace as a public health issue. Attended by more than a thousand women annually, these conferences have increased public understanding of the special health risks facing women from the physical and cultural environment, of the diverse sources of disease, and of the need for public policies that protect women's health.

* sick building syndrome - see John Kerry's brother Cam and his lawfirm, if you would like to sue. Cam has become a national authority on the representation of property owners and insurers in toxic tort litigation involving liability for injuries from lead-based paint and mold.

Teresa Heinz Kerry emerges from her Boston town house in a black workout leotard and dark glasses (though the morning is overcast), nibbling a handful of granola en route to her Pilates class. For a minute, she stops to chat with the young man who will be driving her husband, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, around that day. And, leaning up against the campaign van, she asks him to make sure the senator actually eats the healthful lunch their maid has prepared for him and packed in a Whole Foods bag. "So what are you going to do today, Mrs. Heinz?'' the driver says in response, perhaps aware that it won't be long before her husband is baying for preservatives, and on the lookout for the nearest 7-Eleven. "Oh, I'll probably cry all day''--pause, 2, 3--"because my--husband isn't around,'' she says wryly, a la Miss Scarlett declaring she will weep into her pillow every night Charles Hamilton is off fighting the Yankees. "No, I think I'll catch up with myself today,'' she says, pulling a handful of auburn curls up off her face, "which you never get to do in this business.''


But it's Teresa Heinz Kerry--wealthy "venture philanthropist,'' multilingual former U.N. interpreter and longtime stay-at-home mom, until her three sons were grown--who makes Hillary look downright retiring.


"And no one's about to'' ask her to change now, he promises. For the most part, rather than trying to rein in his freewheeling wife, Kerry seems to be trying to emulate her, speaking much more directly in this campaign, PG curse words and all, than in his pre-Teresa (tehr-AY-zuh) days.


Mrs. Heinz Kerry seems to enjoy dispensing tips on subjects ranging from which sunscreens contain carcinogens to the immunity-boosting antioxidants in green tea

Kerry's friend George Butler, the documentary filmmaker who was once a reporter for NEWSWEEK, says, laughing: "In January '68, I reported on a lunch Nixon gave and watched Pat Nixon gaze at him for three hours straight. I don't foresee Teresa Heinz --doing that under any circumstance, ever.''

[Tarheel]

I saw an interview with her a few weeks ago--60 Minutes, I think. She keeps a picture of her former husband displayed alongside one of Kerry. I guess she likes to remind herself of where all the real money came from.

[kcvl]

Who would have ever guessed that a former NEWSWEEK "reporter" was one of the protesters helping Kerry in the anit-war movement after Vietnam? /sarcasm

The protests were set for the week of April 20. Kerry spent some of his time at the Georgetown townhouse of his longtime friend George Butler, working the phones, trying to round up veterans.

[Paleoguy]

At least Hillary was intelligent, this gal has all of Hillary's mania for power and control, but is a sheer nitwit. She ramble's incoherently. The only thing that I've ever taken away from any of her speeches is that she believes herself to be a member of the "elite", and therefore has a right to use the government to tell everyone else how to live.

BTW, is she even an American citizen? I seem to recall seeing somewhere that she was from Europe.

SAY WHAT? WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT, WILLIS?

Being a bunny myself, I think her idea sucks.

"Accessible and affordable child care"

It's for the chil'run. Really.

[Hank Rearden]

It seems likely to me that she abuses horse tranquilizers.

Hee-hee. It will be a fun thing to watch this weirdo try to keep it under control until November.

[CyberAnt]

I think the woman is psychotic. This is not the first time she has given a speech like that.

If this continues, she will turn off lots of voters. Just wait until the wives get home and tell their husbands not to vote for Kerry.
