Do you think it’s easy being Teresa Heinz Kerry today?
This is a sad weekend for the Beautiful People of Louisburg Square. Yesterday was the first anniversary of Sen. Liveshot Kerry’s grudging concession speech at Faneuil Hall, after he was narrowly defeated for the presidency by a mere 4 million votes.
It’s been a sad year for the Kerrys and all their get-a-life, trust-funded supporters who refuse to remove the fading Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers.
This week, New England Cable News reporter Alison King interviewed 67-year-old Mama T about life since the tragedy of Ohio. (They were robbed in the Buckeye State, you know. Just ask them. They’ll tell you.)
The reporter asked Mrs. Kerry what it was like a year ago today.
“Exhaustion,” she began. “I was so exhausted at the end I know that I took a month to go to the mountains and I never skied once.”
Talk about hell. Stuck in her first husband’s trust fund’s $5-million Sun Valley mansion. And Mama T . . . never . . . skied . . . once.
“I was too tired,” she continued. “That’s deep exhaustion. I just wanted to read and be quiet.”
What a relief for John - the quiet, I mean. By the way, despite the tragic events of 2004, Mr. and Mrs. Heinz haven’t stopped pitying the Little People who didn’t marry a billion dollars: “They are wonderful people,” she told NECN, “they’re gutsy people, a lot of them really are going through hell and they don’t complain.”
Unlike some aging gold diggers who are too exhausted to go skiing. And how is the senator doing?
“I think he’s doing very well actually for someone who’s a soldier and and and and uh and uh - ”
A gigolo? Is that the word you’re searching for, Mama T?
Is there - could King keep a straight face as she asked this - is there a chance Liveshot will run for president again in 2008?
“To do that,” Mama T said, “it would not be an exercise in vanity, I promise you.”
If it isn’t, it’ll be the first thing Liveshot has ever done in his life that wasn’t. Whatever the future holds, the lovebirds will always have 2004. Liveshot’s battle cries will forever thunder down the halls of American political history:
“I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it . . . You’re looking at the biggest cheesehead in America . . . Manny Ortiz . . . Is this where I get me a huntin’ license? . . . Bring it on! . . . Help is on the way . . . I’m John Kerry and I’m reporting for duty.”
I got an e-mail from a guy in Milton who claims that last Saturday he and his wife were eating dinner at a posh joint (as if the Kerrys eat anywhere else) where Billy Crystal and the Kerrys were also dining.
Guess who sauntered over to Billy Crystal’s table, according to my correspondent? Crystal started telling Kerry about his new movie, which concerns a U.S. president who finds out he’s about to die and has 24 hours to get his affairs in order. Crystal was politely outlining all the duties of making a film when Liveshot interrupted him: “You know, if I wasn’t doing what I’m doing right now, I would want to be directing.”
Kerry’s office confirmed that he did break bread with Crystal. I asked whether the quote about his Hollywood dream was correct.
“I don’t think so,” the flack said.
I think so. Apparently it’s not enough for Kerry to be Kevin Federline’s role model. Now he also wants to be Guy Ritchie, which I guess would make Mama T an even wrinklier Madonna.
Now I’m so exhausted, I’ll need a month off. With no skiing.
What's this "Liveshot" stuff? Is Lurch a retired porn star too?
Liveshot was the nickname given to Kerry by Howie Carr. It seems that whenever a TV camera's around, Kerry dashes to be in front of it so they can do a "liveshot" with him.
I don't know if it's Mr. Bad Santa/Bad News Bears/SlingBlade
but who knows!
I don't think so but it sure does look like him. But the girl is an actress, isn't she, or come to think of it, is that Kerry's daughter?
Ahh, I see. Like Schmuckie Schumer and Pignose Waxman. Thanks.
Yes,I can see "Live Shot" as the Minister Of Silly Walks.
This is pretty funny stuff, but you know what? I kinda liked Theresa. She struck me as just about as unphony as her husband is phony. When she picked up the baby and said, "My, he's a chubby one," I thought it was the most sincere statment to come out of the Kerry campaign.
I so much want Kerry to run against Clinton in the primaries. The " cat fighting " between Terezza and the beast will be incredible.
You think this way even considering the difference in the political comments she made while married to a Republican senator versus the ones she's made while married to Kerry?
Check that out and get back to me.
It was this total disconnect from your average middle class American that made Kerry such a lousy candidate. Could she be any more of an elite snob?
Narrow margine...
If he beat Bush by that margine we'd die waiting to see it referred to as a narrow margine.
Kind of like, "Here's your sign!"?
Pinz
So relieved to be chuckling a year later.
"Exhausted? Try working, raising children, running a home and worrying about liberal politicians stealing your hard earned money - that's exhausted."
Quote of the day!!!
TerAYsa Heinz is a patronizing old fool. Pitying the Little People who didn't marry a billion dollars...."They are wonderful people," she told NECN, "They're gutsy people, a lot of them are going through hell and they don't complain." Sure, TerAYsa knows all about poverty and hard times and whether to eat, buy medicine, or heat the house in the winter. Well, the Little People didn't vote for John Kerry and they sure won't vote for Hillary or anyone else the dems put up.
I'm so exhausted I have never gone skiing.
And I even forgot to add Home schooling...... ;^)
