Much like the port deal, people attack with little information. TH and JK have nothing to do with the operation of the company. Nothing nana zilch. Celebrating the fact that they are losing money is mystifying.

"Teresa Heinz Kerry does not "own the Heinz Corporation" — she has no involvement whatsoever with the management or operations of the H.J. Heinz Company, nor does she own anything close to a controlling interest of the company's stock. According to Heinz itself, the Heinz family trust which Mrs. Kerry inherited sold most of its shares of Heinz stock back in 1995 and currently holds less than a 4% interest in the company"

This misconception has been around since the 04 elections. I didn't bring up the obvious issue because I don't want to ignite a flame war. But yes, this is exactly like the ports non-issue.

They didn't come out and distance themselves from the HeinzKerrys. They gambled and are now losing!
