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.

I just saw that. Sounds like they are trying to smear Cheney and Rice as well.
That's my senator, unfortunately. I think I will give him a call tomorrow.

John Kerry warned his political opponents on Monday against attacking his outspoken wifeDuh, does he think we're so stupid that we don't realize that having her do a major news magazine interview was NOT part of the campaign?
If he doesn't want her to be "attacked," then he better not let his handlers trot her out in front of the media to be a part of the campaign.

Lordy. First he "pretends" the administration attacked his patriotism, which they hadn't doneActually it is the leftists in his party who have attacked patriotism. They are doing all they can right this minute to destroy any patriotic feelings we have by attacking the military through Rummy and Bush. Scum!

Drear John:
I would like to criticize your owner and wife for the ugly things she said about the Vice President. Can you take a message or forward to me her phone number, as per your suggestion that I go through you first?

Because out of the five languages, that she speaks fluently, English isn't one of them (much of the time with four letter words).
It took me, at least, a couple of minutes to figure out that she was calling Cheney unpatriotic (after she said it three times).

Luckily for Theresa and Ketchup boy, her last appearance a few days ago was overshadowed in the news by the Iraqi abuse scandal. She once again proved that she's "Not Ready For Prime Time", one of the Democrats greatest fears. Expect to see less of her in the future.

Has anyone realized that the whole scandal involving SKerry's medical records has been buried by the media? His camp put out half-assed documents on the web, the media bought it, hook, line, and sinker without even questioning any of it, even though it was transparent that it was woefully insufficient...
Seems like a surely coordinated event.

Apparently, I drink beer is Kerrys version of Gores earthtone casual wear.
It gauls me (in a French-looking way) that there are actually image consultants like Naomi Wolf and whoever thought of the beer thing, that make tens of thousands of dollars to dream up this crap.
Kerry to Latinos: I want a beer, please
Id give Kerry two thousand dollars (the max) if he could actually manage to swallow three cans of Pabst in ten minutes or less.

I saw Heinz interviewed somewhere a couple days ok. Man, she is going to have some huge gaffs before it is over. Not only that she has a deep mean streak in her that showed up in the interview. This inherent meaness and insensitively will make for some interesting scenes this fall.
