She says that like it's a bad thing. In a Boston Herald article ("Kerry steeling himself for visit to Heinz territory", 1/23/2002), Teresa Heinz Kerry revealed her true feelings about the Packers loyalists.

A story of insanity and suicide lies at the heart of the mountain retreat of the would-be President THE next time that John Kerry visits his $4.9 million winter retreat in the Rocky Mountains, he would do well to dust off an old certificate boasting about the building’s illustrious history. A framed scroll of parchment written in stilted medieval English reveals that the exclusive hideaway he shares with his wife in Ketchum, Idaho, is a dream American vacation home with a difference: it spent most of its 500 years on a farm in East Anglia. Locals in the village of...

After enlisting in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, Heinz served on active duty from June to December 1963 at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.

Dear Ms. Heinz-Kerry: At first, I thought you were nothing more than an interesting side note to the Kerry campaign. A bit of comic relief, if you will. Heaven knows, the country could use it after watching the painful machinations of your husband as he desperately tries to explain his ever-shifting positions on every policy issue imaginable. It is time, however, for you to put down the gin-soaked raisins and smell the coffee. Let me say this as clearly as I know how: Motherhood IS a full time job. Despite you and your fellow feminists' best efforts to belittle stay-at-home...

In the spirit of the Kerry campaign official who declared Vice President Cheney's lesbian daughter "fair game," let us now turn to the question of whether John Kerry's wife is fit to be First Lady. The issue is "fair game" because of how Teresa Heinz Kerry is behaving. Already wildly unpopular - her approval rating is an anemic 30% - she did the political equivalent of mooning her neighbors last week by insulting First Lady Laura Bush. Said Heinz Kerry in an interview: "I don't know that she's ever had a real job - I mean, since she's been grown...

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry said Friday that while President Bush doesn't understand the struggles of American women to make ends meet and fill their demanding roles, he does, and he'll ease their burdens as president. Kerry made the sweeping appeal to women before an audience of about 1,000 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, seeking to improve his standing among women voters who, in polling to date, have been supporting Bush in numbers that bode well for the Republicans and worry Democrats. Kerry said women still are paid 76 cents for every dollar men are paid, and promised that,...

The NAACP had invited...

We have to talk about how we want to live," Heinz Kerry said to the 300 people wedged into the Yardley Community Centre for her visit. "We've dehumanized medicine.

She complained about the high cost of prescription drugs and blamed U.S. pharmaceutical companies for "gouging...

Full Disclosure: John Edwards often speaks of "two Americas" — one that "pays the taxes" and another that "gets the tax breaks." Meet Teresa Heinz Kerry and her tax accountants. John Kerry wants to raise taxes on everyone making over $200,000, rolling back Bush's "tax cuts for the rich." So why did his wife pay only 12.5% of her income in taxes last year? According to documents released by the Kerry campaign, Teresa Heinz Kerry in 2003 paid taxes at a rate barely above the rate paid by the lowest-income Americans who actually pay taxes. She reported a total income...

"You get some gin and get some white raisins [and] soak them in the gin for two weeks," the multi-millionairess said after a rambling speech on health care in Reno the other day.

....Heinz Kerry reported almost no ordinary wages last year. Her self-employment pay and a pension payment of $35,448 total less than $60,000, the return shows. "She's got less than $60,000 subject to the rates normal people pay," said Joseph B. Darby III, a partner in the tax practice at the Boston law firm Greenberg Traurig, who reviewed the tax return yesterday. Darby said Heinz Kerry's taxes reflected a common investment approach for wealthy people. Her assets are roughly split between low-yielding, tax-free bonds and dividend-paying stocks. Heinz Kerry gained most of her fortune in an inheritance from her former husband,...

We believe Americans value disclosure and transparency in campaigns. During the 2003 filing year, Sen.

Because of her financial interest...

If her husband becomes president, she said, she will fulfill the traditional role of first lady. Asked if she would cook in the White House, she said: "I know there is a tiny little kitchen somewhere there, and I know I'll make my sauces unless I can teach the big chef to make the sauces the way I like them: they have more garlic in them than most people like." To the frequent question of whether she would be more like Laura Bush or more like Hillary Rodham Clinton, she has a stock answer. "I say neither. I am going...
