Kerry Warns Opponents Not to Attack His Wife

LOUISVILLE, KY. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry warned his political opponents on Monday against attacking his outspoken wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, saying, "They're going to have to go through me."

The Massachusetts senator also sought to dispel the notion he was aloof, asking one television interviewer: "Have you had a beer with me yet? I like to have fun as much as the next person, and go out and hack around and have a good time."

Worth an estimated $500 million, born in Mozambique and fluent in five languages, Mrs. Kerry can be controversial and blunt, disclosing her Botox injections, her prenuptial agreement with Kerry and the fact he was in the bathroom when he got word of his wins in Iowa and New Hampshire.

"If they want to attack her, they're going to have to go through me. I'll be the first to defend anything she does. ... She doesn't pull her punches," Kerry said in one television interview when asked if Republicans were targeting his wife.

"I think that they're foolhardy to do it, personally, because I think that she's so down to earth and so straightforward," Kerry said. "I think people who meet her love her."

Mrs. Kerry has been criticized for her outspokenness and candor, and some Republican commentators have also called on her to release her tax returns.

While she is wealthy from her marriage to former Republican Sen. John Heinz, the heir to the Pittsburgh ketchup empire, she said Sen. Kerry was not. She can only contribute the same $2,000 to his campaign everyone else can.

Kerry was able, however, to mortgage the couple's townhouse in Boston to take out a $6.4 million loan to keep his campaign afloat.

Which side?

Hey, dave, we're talking about John F'n Kerry, here. He was on both sides, of course.

Another gardener here who is furiously digging! Of course I've got more portable radio with me tuned to talk radio. When the news comes on I have to turn it off. The condescending tone of Ketchup Boy's voice is maddening. The on/off switch is getting a little muddy!

As for Teraaaaaayza, is it just me, or does she always appear to be under the influence of some kind of chemicals?

I cannot imagine these two dysfunctional, delusional liars occupying the White House. The Bubba/Madame Hitlery years were hideous enough. I think Ketchup Boy and his keeper are even more dangerous.

What, a bellicose and pompous response from John Kerry ? Whoah, that is just way off of character there. I never saw that coming.

Has anyone paid the least bit attention to his wife?

I think that's actually what F'n WANTS to happen as a result of his whining that she is being attacked. He can't get enough attention with any of his speeches or selected soundbites where he sounds like a refrigerator with an icemaker or something. A low motor noise and an occasional "plunk" --- that's what he sounds like to me. (It's actually nice, because that makes him easy to tune him out---don't even have to mute the television.)

I bet he is the biggest coward in public life. If we are lucky a car will backfire near him at a public appearance and he will hold Theresa in front of himself as a shield.

No need for that. The more manly he talks, the less manly he seems. His every word raises peoples' BS shields, and his smug ugliness makes him loathesome. And, even worse for him, people see right through these stupid political ploys of his. They never work. (Sheesh -- nobody ever talks about "hacking around.")

She speaks so little I wouldn't even recognize her voice if I heard it.

You don't want to hear it. She is nasty - unless she thinks you are important. Then she'll be nice to you. Otherwise she will treat you VERY poorly.

I CAN ATTACK HER ANY TIME I PLEASE!

She asks to be attacked. Well, critized, anyway: "I can't believe I married an American!"

Okay, probably not a good thing to say to the portion of American voters that don't believe they're the source of all evil in the world.

The more I learn about Kerry and his wife, I can't but help to develop a deep disgust of the both of them.

If TAYRAYSAW was really smart, she'd stay away from the Kerry-joined-at-the-hip-Kennedy campaign, given what the
Kennedy Nazi patriach did to his own daughter, and what Kennedy "family" members do to females in general.

she has a deep mean streak

You cannot imagine how deep that mean streak is. Ask some of the 'little people' in Massachusetts how she treats them. Not well.

Is she an apartheid-loving Afrikanner?

Somewhere tonight. In one of the many houses. Or in the multi-million dollar jet. But not in the back of the SUV:

JOHN: Yea baby. Say it!

TERESA: JFK! JFK! Yes! Yes! Yes! John F! You are John F! Jack! Jack! Jack!

JOHN: You want me Jackie? My Jacqueline? Say something French!

TERESA: It wasn't a swift boat baby! It was a PT boat! A PT boat! I'm so hot!

JOHN: That's it! Put one of my medals there! Right there!

Somewhere in the dark. Off in the corner. A fat man sits and watches "Jack and Jackie". He watches with a large bottle of scotch in his lap as he sips from a long tube that's stuck down the half empty bottle. He is mumbling about "that damn bridge, if not for that damn bridge". He leans forward into the light and spewing scotch from his mouth he says: "Er ah, er ah, Teresa, please put on the blonde wig and sing Happy Birthday Mr. President. I like it when you do that!"

Across the country, a woman watches this all on a monitor. From a hidden web cam that hs been placed in just the right spot by people she controls. She looks up from a file marked "FBI - TOP SECRET" she has been reading, throws the file on a large stack of other files, looks at the monitor and laughs.

She's a political hack & that makes her fair game. Her hubby reminds me of the type of kid who would sucker punch someone & then go running to the teacher, crying that the kid was gonna hit him.

I have no clue. That's something you'll have to ask Kerry. Maybe he made it up to sound like a 'regular' guy.
