TERESA HEINZ KERRY, America’s would-be First Lady, reinforced her reputation for blunt speaking yesterday by admitting that her husband was not qualified to hold the office.
“I think nobody is truly qualified to be President of the United States,” she said, displaying the plain speaking that has become her trademark, a possible liability for John Kerry’s campaign.
“I mean, are you qualified to run the world . . . not run it, but have that influence? No, nobody is,” she said in the latest edition of Reader’s Digest.
Many American voters may be drawn to the evident reasoning behind her argument. But others are likely to be less sympathetic. Presidential campaigns rarely admit to any human frailty on the part of their candidate.
Her honesty apparently fell flat with Reader’s Digest, which said that the message she left hanging in the air was: “Vote for John. He’s less poorly qualified than the other guy.”
It was not the first time that Mrs Kerry has drawn attention with a directness that her husband’s campaign insists is an advantage.
The widow of a Republican senator, and a former Republican herself, she once admitted voting for the current President’s father. “I don’t think the son is the father, and the father’s not the son,” she added.
Mr Kerry followed in his wife’s footsteps by baring his soul in the September edition of GQ.
Perhaps seeking to draw a comparison with the teetotal President and pre-empt more embarrassing questions about his personal life, the Democrat revealed a liking for Charlize Theron. The South African actress was “pretty extraordinary”, he told the magazine in an interview entitled “A Beer with John Kerry”. Catherine Zeta-Jones was another favourite, along with Marilyn Monroe, who was funny, complicated and “ obviously very attractive”.
The US Senator also tried to fill in some of the missing years in his personal story for voters — the period after his first marriage ended in divorce and before he married Teresa Heinz.
“Those were not good days,” he said of his time as a bachelor on Capitol Hill. “That’s not a good world, and everyone wants a piece of you, and all I can say is, thank God I found Teresa.”
He waxed lyrical about the attributes that drew him to his wife. “Look for what gets your heart,” he told the interviewer. “Someone who excites you, turns you on.”
She should have character, be smart, confident and a “full woman”, someone who “knows how to flirt and have fun” and be “sexy and saucy and challenging”.
"The wiff of Martha Mitchell surrounds her."
Hilarious! I hadn't thought of her in years.

Ouch.
She's nuts.
Bump.
Teresa is the one who is useless...too much of anything will kill your brain cells.
She said Kerry is not qualified -- and she should know being married to him.
Typical liberal vanity and pet peeve of mine. Does everyone see it?
Democrats think that if you are the President you "run" the country. If you're the mayor you "run" the city. If you're the Governor you "run" the whole state.
Such conceited crap.
If you are President you "run" the Federal Government. That's all. It's a big organization, and an important job, but you aren't "running the country" (or, in Mrs. Kerry's case "the world.")
But the quote sure provides some insight into the ambitions of people like the Clintons and the Kerrys. They think that if they are elected they will run the country (and eventually the world). That's why they are so hungry for power, and why they are so annoyed by GOP Presidents. It's because they think the government has or should have the same amount of power over every aspect of national life as the politburo did in the USSR.
If you ever hear a politician talk about "running" the city, state or country - do everything you can to defeat him/her because they don't just want to lead/manage a government, they want to control YOU!
As a matter of fact, I'm going to start calling her, "the Portuguese Martha Mitchell"!
Dissing one of your skank girlfriends (which "piece" of Effin did she want?) from those awful days, Frenchy? Thank God I found money, er, Teresa - indeed.
Saddam Hussein thought he was qualified. So did Adoft Hitler. What makes John F'n Kerry so special?
displaying the plain speaking that has become her trademarkPlain speaking? Sounds like idiotic rambling to me. Like a homeless wanderer on the streets of any city in the USA absent her full dose of calming medication... or poisoned by medications she shouldn't be taking. The rantings of a lunatic with the look of a head-light-trapped deer. That's what she sounds like to me.
“I mean, are you qualified to run the world . . . not run it, but have that influence? No, nobody is,” she said in the latest edition of Reader’s Digest.The fact that the New York Slimes sees "evident reasoning" behind her "argument" shows just how much that propaganda sheet is willing to bend over backwards to support the Qerry campaign.Many American voters may be drawn to the evident reasoning behind her argument.
The fact is, the president is at the top of an immense hierarchy of professionals (some worth their salt, some not) that is part of a machine of government that nobody single-handedly "runs". I think the average 4th grader understands that.
But evidently not Queen Qerry, and evidently not the slimes.
"He refers to his wife as saucy?"
Hitting the sauce is more like it.
Good to see you again, Ivan. Speaking of newspapers, are the new owners of the Telegraph sound thinking folks?
We need to let this woman speak in public as much as humanly possible.

She sure sounds like a bona fide nutburger.
This woman must must be a drunk or, the "dry drunk" the left thinks Bush is.
What a nightmare
"$he'$ $exy, $aucy and challenging." Marry me, There$a, Please$
You are so absolutely right! We heard a lot of this "run the country" crap during impeachment. It's great when these hosers let down their guard like this and expose how they really think (like when Hitlery Rotten Klintoon said she wanted things taken away from people for the common good). It's just too bad Boobus America doesn't pay any attention to it.
