President Hillary? We’re not even ready for a First Lady who deviates from the script—or, heaven forfend, has a little bit of a mouth on her.
Yet in the main, Heinz Kerry’s remarks were only shocking in contrast to the overprocessed and infantilizing blah-blah that characterize most political speech.
And whatever you think of Kerry’s candidacy, his wife is someone who has undeniably devoted her considerable energies and resources to making this world a better place, using her foundation to fund important research on women’s health, the environment and early-childhood development. As everyone knows, her first husband, Sen. John Heinz, was heir to the Heinz ketchup fortune, and she could have spent her life shoe shopping. That we might have found patriotic.
By the end of the campaign, her approval ratings were in the range normally reserved for the defrocked and the deposed. And why is that? Does America really hate women that much?
I think so, yes. Not all of the criticism was partisan, after all.
We found it odd that she made no attempt to hide the fact that she had a life before John Kerry. (What really grated was not that she thinks “it’s all about her”—but that she doesn’t think it’s all about him.) Then, too, for all of our purported yearning for authenticity, we balked at her refusal to feign complete absorption in whatever phony political moment was at hand.
Perhaps most unforgivably, she is unself-consciously sexy at 66 and not unaware of her power as a woman.

Dear Melinda Henneberger,
Shove it, Scumbag.
Love,
Teresa
We found it odd that she made no attempt to hide the fact that she had a life before John Kerry.
ah yeah, she managed to marry a rich guy just like Kerry managed to marry a rich widow. In the end they were both whores.
Mamma T is no Sophia Loren.
What about Teresa's unfair attacks on Laura Bush, the President ("4 more years of hell"), journalists and other people about whom she resorted to low and crass name-calling?
She's probably sexy to Melinda.
Sexy maybe for a shrunken head fetishest.
Why is it that these clowns are unable to distinguish a disagreement on politics, and a hatred of women speaking out?
That hair!
Mega barf alert!

Sexy?? No. She is nutzo psychotic,African "scumbag" that married a do nothing, traitorous, lying piece of......
"or, heaven forfend, has a little bit of a mouth on her."
WTF?
What an idiotic, incoherent rant.
Uhhh...no thanks.
Birds of a feather flock together
I was just think that too?
Teresa SEXY? You've got to be kidding!
She's rude, self centered and self absorbed. The rest of the article gives examples of it. As usual, truth is not a friend of liberals. There's always some paranoid reason why others don't like them - botox treatments or not.
Teresa is not unattractive, but seemed to go out of her way to look like a hag!
Boy is the woman who wrote this carrying some baggage.
Listen dear, it's not that America didn't like Teresa because she had "a bit of a mouth", it's that she was looney. What came out of that mouth was arrogant, condescending, or just plan rude. So this writer can "shove it!"
By the way, it was "all about John Kerry", NOT Teresa! He was running to be the CIC of the most powerful nation in the world. How could it not be all about him?
