NEW YORK - Teresa Heinz Kerry, encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials like water and electric generators.
"Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites). "Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes."
Heinz Kerry stopped by a market in the heart of Brooklyn's Caribbean community, where she spoke French with Haitian vendors and shook hands with volunteers busy packing food, clothes and other relief supplies to be shipped to several Carribean islands hit by Hurricane Ivan. Her husband's campaign donated water, blankets and first aid kits.
"I think it's important we help all the kids we can," Heinz Kerry said.
Ivan swept through the Caribbean last week, killing more than 60 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless.
Dr. Roy A. Hastick Sr., president of the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce (news - web sites) and coordinator of the market's relief effort, said the visit helped make difficult days a bit brighter.
"It's a major boost for us and the community to show we have someone on a national level concerned with what's happening in the Caribbean region," Hastick Sr. said.
Supporters gathered on the sidewalk shouted "We love you," and "Good luck" as Heinz Kerry made her way to a waiting car.

This *is* from The Onion, right?
Right?
If not I'm scared.
"Let them eat cake!" caused heads to roll; let's hope this does, too.
I wonder how many Florida (and other Gulf-Coast) votes for GWB this can be parleyed into?
I am speechless..
Bring out the guillotines. You just don't see such blantant elitism in this country. More of a Frech attribute.
And yet another deck of the SS Kerry slips below the surface... TahRAYzuh Antoinette strikes again.
You know, earlier today I was just saying on some other thread that they've kept Teresa on a pretty short leash since the convention. Looks like her minders lost track of her for a few minutes.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Mama T must have escaped from her padded cell during the confusion over the Kerry Kampaign shake-up. Every time she surfaces; she drops a zinger!
Tereza Heinz likes children to be naked...
the "common" people don't need clothes, at least not the little ones! And Vanessa Kerry said in Iowa yesterday that $145.00 is 3 MONTHS of groceries. These people aren't grounded at all!!!
Beat me to it...
Doesn't say anything about her donating any money.
sweet baby Jesus, ......just imagine if Laura Bush said this in front of reporters at a hurricane aid center.
Since when is electricity more important for survival than clothing????? I'd pay to send this b!tch to SEER school!!
Oh! Good idea TereSa! Good idea! Nekkid children! Kerry 2004! Yea!
I guess if you're not wearing clothes, it's easier to shove it?
