OMG! I can't believe she said that - where were her handlers?

Oh, COME on. Even if I generally don't think much of Teresa, all she really said was, "I wish my husband hadn't died in that crash, and the facts that I'm wealthy and now married to another wonderful guy don't change that." What is so remarkable about that??

And I thought Kerry was living in the past - wow! She still considers herself married to a dead man.

Shes probably only going for sympathy, but let's hope she really means that....

What are we criticizing her for? Because she said that she would rather her first husband be alive than inhereit his money? Geez, don't we have enough legitimate issues to bring up about Kerry without resorting to ridiculous accusations like this? Please...

She made that comment as a diversion to the questions about here worth, over a billion dollars, and the fact that she is spending her money via her foundation to elect here current husband to the presidency.

I think this is legitimate criticism.

This was some pretty irresponsible journalism for Newsmax. If she says she would rather have her husband alive, she's longing for a Republican. If she says she doesn't miss him, she's all about the money. There are much bigger fish to fry with regards to Teresa Heinz. There were higher roads than this...

"It was a very sad day when that happened. I'd rather have my husband alive than that money."

Translation: Help me I`m now married to a democ-rat.

Teresa Heinz Kerry, who inherited a vast family fortune and heads a billion-dollar foundation, said Tuesday she would give up the money to have her first husband back.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Teresa Heinz Kerry, who inherited a vast family fortune and heads a billion-dollar foundation, said Tuesday she would give up the money to have her first husband back.

"It was a very sad day when that happened," Heinz Kerry said, speaking of Sen. John Heinz, heir to the Heinz food fortune, who was killed in a 1991 plane crash. "I'd rather have my husband alive than that money."

Heinz Kerry, a philanthropist now married to Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, the Democratic presidential candidate, said she wants people to judge her by her life's work and not the size of her bank account. She and Kerry wed in 1995, the second marriage for both.

Her comments came during her first visit to the state since a win in Iowa's caucuses ignited her husband's presidential campaign last January. She spoke in the crowded, sweltering basement of a Des Moines health care clinic where she pitched his health care proposals and fielded questions about her wealth.

Addressing the suggestion that her fortune, estimated at $500 million, makes her out of touch with the voters who will decide whether to elect her husband, she said: "It's so ludicrous that it makes you laugh."

"You measure people by what they do with their lives," said Heinz Kerry, who also heads the $1.2 billion Heinz Foundation endowment, which donates money to charitable causes.

Kristin Scuderi, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Republican Party, questioned how well Heinz Kerry could connect with ordinary Iowans. "I kind of question how down to earth she is," Scuderi said.

Heinz Kerry heard from medical patients who could not afford health insurance and called for changes to the system to focus on preventive health care and provide incentives to companies that offer health insurance to employees.

Separately, Kerry told an interviewer he has "no intention" of releasing his divorce records, calling it "ancient history."

"I have no intention of doing that at all. There's no reason whatsoever. It's history, ancient history," Kerry said in an interview with Spanish-language broadcaster Telemundo during a campaign stop in Phoenix. "My ex-wife and I are terrific friends, very proud of our children. We have stayed close as an extended family in a sense through those years."

Kerry said his ex-wife, Julia Thorne, sees no reason to release the records, nor do their two children.

"It's none of anybody's business. Period," he said.

Well look what happened, her husband gets killed, then Pepe LePew the golddigger moves in for le kill while she is still in mourning, while she still isn`t thinking clearly, and now she realizes she`s made one hell of a mistake. What she is saying is "Please God, take away all my money, just get this French nightmare out of my life"

I can't believe she said that

A lot of people think his death was tragic.

Wonder what it's really like being married to that French mannequin? I've seen pics of her with her first husband and kids. She looked pretty happy then. I don't support one thing she donates to, but I feel kind of bad for her on a personal level...

She's a friggin' nut, and a democrat (sort of like Arianna Huffington), hence, she lies. What else do you need to know?
