Teresa Heinz Kerry made it through her unprecedented speech at the Democratic National Convention without losing control of her famous temper, losing her place in the well-rehearsed speech, or otherwise providing dramatic entertainment. But she was just plain weird.
Leave aside the weirdness of having the wife of a candidate give a major speech two days before he accepts the nomination. We’ll return to that subject shortly. She is a strange person, and the mysterious and off-putting nature of her eccentricity was heightened by her performance before the mildly cheering crowd at the Fleet center.
She began by leaning out from behind the backdrop, seeming to peek at the audience as the cameras focused on her entrance. Slightly bent over, she walked out with her hand over her heart, then patting her heart, as if to reassure herself that her big moment was actually happening, and that she would be just fine. Blowing kisses to the applauding audience, she embraced her son Christopher, stepson to the presumptive Presidential nominee, who had declared his love for her in his introduction of her.
She was dressed in a near-ketchup red suit. The crowd waved ketchup red placards with “We love TERESA!” printed in big white letters. What is the message in this choice of colors? That her fortune is based on a tomato-derived sauce? That she is hoping to relate better to red state voters? That she is nostalgic for communism?
Acknowledging the applause, and maybe the signs, her first words were, “Thank-you. Thank-you. I love you, too.” Nothing about how honored she is to be addressing the convention and the nation. Just an acknowledgement of the assumed love for HER. Though the crowd had already stopped cheering and applauding, she gestured with her hands to quiet them, as if her body were programmed in advance to do so. The hands lingered a few moments too long, hanging there in front of her while the audience was silent.

This woman is a head case! End of story!
Just because Tearassa Hinds Carry runs around with one headlight out is no reason to pick on her.
Now, be nice to Mama T.
No wonder why Kerry kisses her so much in public, it's one way of keeping her mouth shut.
Why is it that whenever I see Kerry and Teresa together in public I can't help thinking they have a closet full of S&M paraphenalia at home and he is the submissive one?
I sure want my sons' lives in this guy's hands, alrighty.
The ENTIRE FAMILY is nothing but spoiled, over-indulged, vapid, Old Eurotrash-loving, pseudo-intellectual, sniveling, arrogant, cold-blue-bloodied parasites.
Phonies. With a capital "F".
Ever notice how when he tries to kiss her, she pushes him away?
I swear that photo looks like Mel Brooks with long, curly hair.
Reminds me of the Exorcist or Carrie....
That was just to pathetic. Patty Davis pathetic. Which was probably where they ripped it off with Patty's approval.
Mrs. Kerry - Rude, arrogant, and has zero class or personality.
Mrs. Bush - Polite, humble, and has a classy Texas charm.
A man's choice of wife tells much about the man and his character and judgement.
Paris is gay.
This photo is proof that kissing someone who has had BOTOX injections can be transmitted by kissing. Notice the slack jawed look - obvious nerve paralysis. :-)
I just hurt myself laughing.
Thunk I CoulD I get Jon Edwards to sue you?
"Ich ben ein Berliner!"
