The Heart of Politics: The Washington Tale of John Kerry and Teresa Heinz (The NUTTY Mrs. Heinz

Washington Post ^ | June 2, 2002 | Mark Leibovich

Teresa Heinz is getting up a full head of rage while her husband, Sen. John Kerry, fidgets.

They are in the living room of their Georgetown home, where Heinz has lived ever since her late first husband, John Heinz, came to Washington in 1971 as a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania. In the front entrance, the first things a visitor sees are two framed photos of Teresa Heinz cuddled with tall, smiling men with big heads of brown hair: In one is John Kerry, in the other John Heinz.....

The rest of this incredibly BIZARRE story is available HERE.

Over two long interviews, Teresa Heinz is by turns effusive and harsh, warm and slightly bitter, solemn and melodramatic.

In other words, flat out NUTS.

In the front entrance, the first things a visitor sees are two framed photos of Teresa Heinz cuddled with tall, smiling men with big heads of brown hair: In one is John Kerry, in the other John Heinz.

Actually, until very recently there was just ONE framed photo in the front entrance until the Boston Herald pointed out that embarrassing fact which is mentioned in today's Boston Herald commentary on this Post article here:

"The profile - which purports to be of Kerry but is really about Teresa - makes note of the two portraits hanging in her Georgetown manse, one of Teresa and Heinz, another of Teresa and Kerry. Sadly, the paper fails to mention that the second appeared only after a Herald item on the first!"

Kerry says he won't spend any Heinz money on a campaign -- and Heinz says she won't make it available -- unless, in her words, an opponent engages in "character assassination" against her or Kerry.

As conveniently happened when Kerry was falling behind in a Senate race against William Weld. Then Kerry broke a pledge to limit his campaign spending and tossed in a large infusion of Mrs. Heinz's cash into the race.

"In other words, flat out NUTS."

You said it. Certifiable. What a whack job.

The other thread was deleted because I posted the whole Wash Post article. A suggestion would be to have a reminder about not posting from there or the L.A. Times on the posting page as we had before. Since there wasn't that reminder I thought it was OK now. Sorry for the error. Anyway, I encourage EVERYBODY to go to the Wash Post link to read this article. It is absolutely HILARIOUS to see how the NUTTY Mrs. Heinz has turned Kerry into her personal Poodle Boy. Kerry's campaign is beginning to look like a Mel Brooks script.

I can easily picture a scene where their family dog makes a messy poo on the carpet of Mrs. Heinz's townhouse and then Mrs. Heinz shoves Kerry's nose into the mess while screaming: "BAD BOY! BAD BOY!"

[The G Man]

John Kerry sold his soul for money and now he's surprised that he lives in hell?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! (/evil manical laugh off)

[The G Man]

"I can easily picture a scene where ..."

I can easily picture this scene:

TH: "I knew John Heinz. John Heinz was a husband of mine. You, Senator, are NO JOHN HEINZ!"

JK: "Yes, dear."

Teresa Heinz has taken the concept of P*ssywhipping to a whole new level. She uses her cash and property as a jerk chain to completely control John Kerry. Plus she gets to publicly humiliate him. Thanx Teresa. Now we know that Kerry suffers from horrible flashback dreams. Do you have any more humiliating tidbits about Kerry for us?

Marrying an older woman for her money has its disadvantages.

Huh. Your earlier post was deleted after I opened the main page, so I linked to the Washington ComPost from it and read it from there. You might think that the press would have a really, really hard time making this pair look like an attractive couple. But I suppose if they managed to do it with the Rodham Clintons, they can probably do something similar with the Heinz Kerrys. Anything is possible, if you sell your professional soul, lie like a trooper, and cover up hard enough.

It's painfully obvious what attracted Kerry to the bizarre Teresa Heinz. Money. Money. And more money.

Shades of McCain, who dumped his loyal first wife for a rich drug addict.

Marrying an older woman for her money has its disadvantages.

It's called "Public Humiliation."

Teresa Heintz is dangerous. She funds a lot of the eco-fascists in this country.

[Savage Beast]

"the other John Heinz..... "

That's the least she could do.

[PJ-Comix]

Is John Kerry the Scott Salem of politics?

[AmishDude]

I loved this article when you first posted it. First off, I was embarrassed for Kerry in this article. And I thought he was the nutty one.

Kerry's computer screen is filled with a smiling photo of . . . John Kerry.

Then again, maybe he is.

In his defense, he probably doesn't even know how to turn the thing on.

[1Old Pro]

John Kerry can forget about any presidential aspirations.

Having a rich crazy wife anchors many aspirants....remember a guy called John McLame?

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

I can sum up her attitude in one word---------

WENCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Savage Beast]

One thing I'm most thankful for is that I am a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong way from Washington.

[AmishDude]

John Heinz had a knack for applying the pointed questioning style that he honed in Senate hearing rooms to his home life. He would grill his wife about the food she was cooking, his three boys about school, Social Security, whatever came up at the dinner table.

I wondered what the source of this fact is. Could it possibly be the nutty Teresa herself?

[TracyPA]

I can't believe Kerry will run for President. Teresa Heinz is a loose cannon! Will he have her muzzled for the whole campaign? He'd be a basket case at every interview she had! Who would we see-the good Teresa or the evil one? I don't think he could shut this woman up.
