It is kind of ironic as I listen to Tereeeza Heinz on Rush, trying to be a Burgher, even though she has an estate in Fox Chapel. Chappelers are in their own little world(ala kerry/edwards). I know, I had relatives who lived in Fox Chapel in the 70's and 80's.
It was actually kind of sad watching her, kinda of laughing at the village idiot, IMO.
