Chris Heinz -- John Kerry's stepson -- could be the best thing ever to happen to the Democrats, at least the female ones. He looks like the late JFK Jr., has a Harvard MBA, is worth half a billion dollars -- and is still very, very single. Everywhere the 30-year-old turned at the socialite-heavy book party for Jill Kargman and Carrie Karsyov's "The Right Address" on Wednesday night, he was mobbed by groups of hopeful girls. "He's so cute," cooed one as he passed.

The next generation, all married or otherwise engaged, included Vogue's Meredith Melling Burke, pregnant Marjorie Gubelman Raien, new mom Liz Cohen and candy queen Dylan Lauren. One girl did get lucky: Heinz's tall, rosy-cheeked ex-girlfriend, Margaux Butler, who accompanied him for a secret snuggle outside.

But Heinz was on a break from both politics and romance, mom Teresa explained. He was simply there to support his old friend Kargman. "I'm Jill's godmother," she said, "And her father, Arie [Kopelman] is Chris's godfather." Then she looked around for her son, but he had already left -- alone. (Elisa Lipsky-Karasz, NY Post)

Dick Morris' book is excerpted in the NY Post today. Here's a sample:

Both of the Clintons are masters of subterfuge. But Hillary's deceptions and disguises are very different from Bill's. Bill Clinton deceives himself, and fools us in the process. He pretends, even when he is alone, that he is not doing what he knows he is doing. He never tells his right hand what his left hand is up to.

By contrast, Hillary knows full well who she is and what parts of her must never be exposed to public view. She reminds herself consciously, day after day, which parts of herself to hide and which to expose.

Where Bill's instinct for deception is neurotic, Hillary's is opportunistic. He wants to hide his private life from our eyes; Hillary seeks to conceal her character from our view. But the things that Hillary hides are integral to her political essence. They are who she is and what makes her tick. Her trickery is designed to hide her most basic character and instincts from all of us.

What makes Hillary's unseen side unique is that, for the most part, it represents her real personality, her true self, far more than the person who smiles and giggles at us day and night.

All public figures use makeup to cover a blemish or two. But only Hillary wears a mask of so many layers, one that hides her true face altogether.

Who is Hillary? We need to know. In fact, it's become critical that we do so.
