I agree with the writer that she may be depressed which could explain her sloppy appearance all the time.
UNMEDICATED:
As journalist Eric Alan Beltt explains (http://www.opinioneditorials.com/freedomwriters/ebeltt_20040805.html) they are motivated by the desperate need to feel good, superior in intelligence and morality, admired by peers (in academia, the legal profession, the news and entertainment media, elite social circles and other venues where liberalism is rife) and to avoid ostracism. Their activism, Beltt says, is only relevant to them as long as it enhances their “image” and … makes them feel good! ***

David Horowitz spells this out brilliantly in: Hillary Clinton and the Radical Left - Hillary Clinton and the Third Way ***If others could understand your truth, you would not think of yourself as a "vanguard." You would no longer inhabit the morally charmed world of an elite, whose members alone can see the light and whose mission is to lead the unenlightened towards it. If everybody could see the promised horizon and knew the path to reach it, the future would already have happened and there would be no need for the vanguard of the saints. ........They do it for higher ends. They do it for the progressive faith. They do it because they see themselves as having the power to redeem the world from evil. It is that terrifyingly exalted ambition that fuels their spiritual arrogance and justifies their sordid and, if necessary, criminal means. ***

I'll read the whole thing later, but -- re depressed -- did you hear the bit on Brit Hume about how Kerry tried to force her to go on a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. She didn't want to -- she told him, "You don't understand vertigo!" He put his arm around and tried to draw her to the helicopter. She broke away and went a Secret Service guy (for protection?) and said, "I'm not going!" He is hopeless!
The Kerry campaign replies to this by saying that the contributions to the Tides foundation were earmarked for specific projects in Pittsburgh.
Does anyone know about the nature of these projects, and whether the contributions were truly earmarked?

"The Kerry campaign replies to this by saying that the contributions to the Tides foundation were earmarked for specific projects in Pittsburgh."
And should we believe this????
This is the same left wing media that stood and applauded McGreevey's announcement that he was a gay American.
McGreevey did not resign because he is gay -- it's because he got the "Toricelli" call.
Kerry was not using his nuanced sensitivity when he suggested that she take that helicoptor ride...her first husband , Sen. Heinz ,was killed when his small plane was in a mid-air crash with a helicopter.
I don't know. I'm thinking that doing a little digging might be rewarding, and was wondering if anyone has.

But it fits so perfectly, doesn't it?
Many leaders had a hand in Washington's Cold War triumph, but Ronald Reagan's contributions were pivotal, and Kerry opposed every one of them. Reagan's defense buildup disabused Soviet leaders of any hope that they could ultimately come out ahead of the United States. Kerry derided these military expenditures as "bloated" and "without any relevancy to the threat." In particular, Reagan's plan to seek a missile defense system against Soviet ICBMs and NATO's decision to station new missiles in Europe to counteract the new Soviet deployment there rendered futile the Kremlin's vast investment in nuclear supremacy. Instead of these measures, Kerry advocated that we adopt a one-sided "nuclear freeze."***
Kerry's World: Father Knows Best***As early as prep school, John Kerry showed signs that he shared his father's suspicions about America's cold war foreign policy. In a debate at St. Paul's in the late '50s, he argued that the United States should establish relations with Red China. During his junior year at Yale, he won a speech prize for an oration warning, "It is the specter of Western Imperialism that causes more fear among Africans and Asians than communism, and thus it is self-defeating." And, when he was tapped to deliver a graduation speech in 1966, he used the occasion to condemn U.S. involvement in Vietnam, intoning, "What was an excess of isolationism has become an excess of interventionism."***
You're right -- I'd forgotten all about that. I still thought it was bad enough on his part just because she really didn't want to go.

Makes you wonder who is doing the abusing to whom, in that marriage.
"Educated in a Geneva language school with classmate Kofi Anan..."
Nuff said. Mrs Heinz-Kerry didn't change her spots when she married Lurch, she just painted them over while it was convenient. Women adapt. And when they get hold of the old man's money, as she did, the truth comes out.
No wonder she has the answer to everything. Shallow narcissists retain their juvenile view of the world until their dying day.
