A Web site partially funded by Teresa Heinz Kerry offers a report glorifying Hezbollah (Hizbullah) suicide bombers as "deified in paradise and venerated on earth for fighting Israel" - and praises the terrorist group's support network for women widowed by their husband's "martyrdom" attacks. "Women's eNews is supported by our readers; reprints and licensing fees; and the Fund for the City of New York, the Teresa and H.

Teresa Heinz Kerry has lashed out against the "scoundrels” and "sunshine patriots” who have criticized Rep. John Murtha for calling for an immediate redeployment of U.S. troops in Iraq. "The orchestrated assault on Murtha should alarm us all,” the Heinz family heiress – wife of Sen. John Kerry – writes in an opinion piece carried by the Johnstown (Pa.) Tribune-Democrat. "Just when you thought the debate could sink no lower, the politicians committed to staying the course in Iraq turned the fire hoses of smear and intimidation on this icon of national security. "They said he had given aid and...

What made Teresa Heinz Kerry so refreshing to some voters, and threatening to others on the 2004 campaign trail, is summed up when THK talks about her speech to last year's Democratic convention: "Nobody told me what to do," she told a Saturday fund-raiser here. The implicit afterword: Nobody better try. In her speech at the 2004 Democratic convention, Teresa Heinz Kerry said "no one will defend this nation more vigorously" than her husband, John Kerry. The sails of the philanthropist wife of Sen. John Kerry were not trimmed by November's narrow electoral defeat. The softly accented voice gives pointed...

A campaign convenience is no more. Teresa Heinz, the erstwhile Teresa Heinz Kerry, has stopped using the last name of her husband... Preceding its Women Who Make a Difference Awards dinner next month, the National Council for Research on Women is featuring "a conversation with Teresa Heinz," according to a release from the organization. The council failed to mention the final half of the Fox Chapel ketchup heiress' formerly elongated last name in several other references.

I guess it's not important that a future first lady may be mentally unbalanced. It's been a long, strange trip indeed for Teresa Heinz Kerry. Less than 30 years ago, she was a rabid Republican, the wife of another senator, trashing Ted Kennedy as a "perfect bastard" and the Democratic Party as "putrid." Last night, she shared the dais with Teddy Boy – who turns out to be her new husband's biggest (in terms of girth as well as enthusiasm) cheerleader. When I first reported that Teresa Heinz Kerry was behind the funding of radical causes including Act-Up, Islamist jihadists,...

Files reveal Heinz Kerry wealth PITTSBURGH — Sen. John Heinz III had about $423 million in cash, stocks, trusts and other property when he died in a 1991 plane crash, according to documents released Friday. The estate of the Pennsylvania Republican — whose widow, Teresa, later married Sen. John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat — paid about $41 million in federal estate taxes and $17 million in state death taxes, the records show. Judge Frank Lucchino had ruled in March that the law favored opening the records, which were sealed the day after Heinz, 52, an heir to the Heinz ketchup...

What's become of Teresa Heinz Kerry? Preceding its Women Who Make a Difference Awards Dinner on March 1, the National Council for Research on Women is featuring "a conversation with Teresa Heinz," chairwoman of Heinz Family Philanthropies and, up until Election Day, the highly visible better half of Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. "Teresa Heinz will speak to her commitment to women's economic security, including Social Security and retirement," writes the council, not bothering to mention her married name in several references. "I just checked, and she no longer uses her [entire] last name; only during the [presidential] campaign did she...

A campaign convenience is no more. According to The Washington Times, Teresa Heinz, the erstwhile Teresa Heinz Kerry, has stopped using the last name of her husband, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, last year's Democrat presidential nominee.

...'A highlight of the symposium took place at the Faculty Club on Thursday night, when Teresa Heinz Kerry delivered what she called her "first real speech" since her husband, U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., lost the presidential election. Harvard scientist John Holdren introduced Heinz Kerry, chair of the Heinz Family Foundations, and extolled her philanthropic support of environmental issues. He also acknowledged her as "one of the few people who can rival Steve as a talker."

Teresa Heinz Blames the Media Making what she called her "first real speech" since her husband lost the presidential election, Teresa Heinz blamed the media for distorting their position on the environment. Addressing Stanford University's "Whole Earth Symposium" last week, the first lady wannabe said that the press was largely responsible for the perception that her husband ignored the environment during the 2004 campaign, according to the campus newspaper, the Stanford Report. She insisted that John Kerry discussed energy issues every day and claimed that she frequently talked about "sustainability." But their comments were not reported. What did get covered...

Teresa Heinz: Bush Win Suspicious Embittered first-lady wannabe Teresa Heinz is questioning whether President Bush's re-election victory last November was legitimate, saying that many of the country's voting machines could have been "hacked." "Two brothers own 80 percent of the machines used in the United States," Heinz told a lunch for Seattle Rep. Adam Smith on Saturday, referring to the brothers as "hard right" Republicans. She argued that it is "very easy to hack into the mother machines," in quotes picked up by the Seattle Post Intelligencer. "We in the United States are not a banana republic," added the Mozambican-born...

Mid-Morning Report I see that Teresa Heinz Scary is back in the news again. Apparently she's yet to resign herself to the fact that she's not in the White House. Here's her latest via Drudge wherein she claims that voting machines were hacked to alter the results for Bush: "Two brothers own 80 percent of the machines used in the United States," Heinz Kerry said. She identified both as "hard-right" Republicans. She argued that it is "very easy to hack into the mother machines." Who are these "brothers"? Smothers? Allman? Doobie? I had no idea that two brothers held the...

WASHINGTON -- Teresa Heinz Kerry got a bad rap during the presidential campaign, her husband said Monday. Democratic Sen. John Kerry, who lost his bid for the White House last November, told New York City radio host Don Imus that incidents on the campaign trail were blown up out of proportion. "I was really upset about that on a personal level," said the Massachusetts senator during the interview with Imus, which aired on WFAN-AM radio and was also broadcast on MSNBC. Reports had circulated during the campaign that Heinz Kerry -- who is known for speaking her mind -- could...

Sen. John Kerry may be making noise about running for president again in 2008, but the Track is given to understand that the little woman, Teresa Heinz Kerry, has made it clear to her hubby that she won't sit still for another campaign. Ever. ``It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing,'' said a FOT. ``She's 66 now, though God bless her, you'd never know it, and you know as you get older, your priorities change. Teresa will never do it again.'' But Teresa's spokesman, Jeff Lewis, was quick to deny the report. ``Teresa Heinz is too smart to say that,'' he said. ``She...

If anyone has some major rehabilitation work to do in the new year, it is Teresa Heinz Kerry. As the Kerrys head for their swank vacation home this year without the press corps tallying how much it cost, or the Secret Service following too closely on the slopes, the might-have-been first lady and still extremely major philanthropist has some major thinking to do about the damage she did to her own reputation in the major run that just ended. It started out just fine. In her first interviews, Mrs. Heinz Kerry put to bed the rumors that she really regarded...

'I can't believe I'm losing to this idiot' By Tim Reid The Democratic challenger repeatedly shot himself in the foot JOHN KERRY constantly squabbled with his difficult and hypochondriac wife, ran a campaign team riven by internal feuding, and repeatedly begged the Republican senator John McCain to become his running-mate, according to a riveting inside account of his doomed presidential bid. The Massachusetts senator was so obsessed with getting advice from a multitude of rival advisers that one aide confiscated his mobile telephone. His wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, became such a moody distraction that in the closing weeks of the...

Coming in Newsweek soon: Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, presented a host of behind-the-scenes drama for Kerry. Early on, the campaign staff regarded Teresa as something of a hypochondriac, and she canceled three trips in October at the last minute, usually for what was described to aides as a "nonspecific malady." Kerry's first campaign manager, James Jordan, had little patience for her strong opinions, sending emails trashing the candidate's wife...which inevitably reached his rivals within the campaign, including Bob Shrum (an old Teresa friend) and helped seal Jordan's eventual dismissal. One of the reasons I began to suspect Bush would...
