This is what Neal Boortz said the other day:

What is it that John Kerry calls American companies that outsource jobs overseas? Oh yeah ... I remember. They are "Benedict Arnolds." The CEOs of these companies are "Benedict Arnold CEOs." Very clever. That language plays well with the lower IQs of those who vote Democratic. Now .. what about H.J. Heinz? That's the company that John Kerry's wife owns. They have 79 factories where actual people work. Of those 79 factories ... 57 of them are overseas ... with overseas workers. Do you think John Kerry calls his wife a "Benedict Arnold heiress?"

I sent this to a dem. co-worker and he replied that she doesn't control the company and her dead former Republican Senator husband is responsible for the outsourcing. Just what is Te-ray-za's role in Heinz today?

I believe that she is the biggest single person stock holder/owner in Heinz.

As such she controls the money doled out by the Vira Heinze Endowment foundation and the Howard Heinz Endowment foundation.

But who is the Tides Center? Known as the Tides Center for Pennsylvania, formerly the Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania, it is none other than a creation of the Tides Foundation and Center, headquartered in San Francisco, and two Pennsylvania-based foundations -- the Vira Heinz Endowment and the Howard Heinz Endowment-- chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry, heir to the Heinz food company fortune and wife of Democrat presidential contender Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

None whatsoever. She's not even a major shareholder. And I just found out that the current Chairman and CEO of Heinz has contributed more than $50000 to Republican campaigns in the last five years. Bitching about Heinz outsourcing, where the man in charge is a Republican, seems a bit stupid.
