WASHINGTON - Trying to erase the image of her husband as aloof, Teresa Heinz Kerry yesterday insisted Sen. John F. Kerry [related, bio] ``likes people'' and went so far as to say he would make a great nursery school teacher.
``He actually does feel at ease in the world,'' Heinz Kerry said.
``He likes people, in spite of whatever people might think. He'd make the best nursery school teacher in the world, bar none.''
Heinz Kerry also called her husband ``magical with children,'' adding, ``That's a new revelation to me.''
The outspoken potential first lady made the comments to a mostly female audience of 2,500 at a fund-raising luncheon here that netted $1.3 million.
Kerry has long had a reputation as standoffish, and Democratic strategists fear the image may cost him in comparison to President Bush's easygoing manner.
Heinz Kerry took veiled aim at Bush, saying if Kerry is elected, he will go to the United Nations and ``represent this country with great pride, but no arrogance.''
``He will never, ever, ever send any children, or men - as he was with young men in Vietnam - into harm's way without being the first one to go out on the boat,'' she said.
Addressing terrorism, she said, ``We're not going to fight terrorism with missiles, we're going to fight terrorism with ideas. And I think that John knows that, deep down.''

Ping!
I'm speechless.(except for that part I just wrote)
These people truly do inhabit a parallel universe. Where people hang on their every word, no matter how ludicrous because they are rich.
Notice the media pretending slick willie didn't say he felt like a pickle.
Something really really weird going on in the media.
I'm sure there was loud applause.
Great stuff. I just hope the campaign doesn't shut her up.
Drugs!
Yikes. I agree with her though, he should drop the campaign and become a teacher.
I'd like to see the first ever First Ladies debate. Laura Bush, calm, kind, and lovely versus Teresa, who would be doing a Napoleon impersonation while trying to flash some leg at the moderators.

Not sure yet, but THIS may be my next new tagline:
He'd make the best nursery school teacher in the world, bar none
The woman is not only bonkers, she is also mud fence dumb to say something like this!! LOL!
There I disagree - would you, as a parent, allow John Kerry teach at your nursery school?

``He likes people, in spite of whatever people might think. He'd make the best nursery school teacher in the world, bar none.''
Isn't this the same thing some best friend always says, right after their nutjob buddy has gone postal and killed a dozen people in a bloody murder spree?
"Really, he is such a nice guy, couldn't hurt a fly!"
I am looking forward to the next Teresa outburst, I must say. She at least is amusing.

Another brilliant campaign slogan:
Vote for Kerry
He really does like your kind.
If kerry has more than one idea we're doomed to wonder which "idea" is today's "idea" that he thought of before he thought of the previous "idea" which he thought of before he thought of which "idea" to use tomorrow because yesterday's "idea" was not an "idea" before it was and "idea" because tomorrows "idea".... etc. etc.,,,,
"That's a new revelation to me."
How many years have they been married, and she's just now discovering he likes children?
Hmmmm.
Why, when I am reading that article, does my mind wander to the Michael Jackson interview? It sounds about as whacko and her defensive statements: "he would make a great nursery school teacher" and "magical with children." That just doesn't sound 'right'.
She perhaps married him for his body. It certainly wasn't for his mind.
