'Vote for my husband – he's not as useless as the other guy' (TERESA ALERT!)
The Times ^ | August 19, 2004 | Elaine Monaghan

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”.

"Cake, she does act that way and have you noticed THK keeps her head down a lot? What's she hiding or ashamed of?"

Did you catch her convention "speech"? She was so bad lot of us were wondering if she'd ODed. A lot of drugs don't mix with alcohol and she acted like she'd had liberal quantities of both. She's mentioned being on Prozac and also described herself as "needy". This is one SRTANGE, dysfunctional couple.

"You're not telling me her remarks are supportive of him, are you?"

No, It's pretty clear that she is not a supportive wife. I'm saying people might pity Kerry because of her, but he can't function fully without a supportive wife and she isn't one.

Teresa, "Vote for my husband – he's not as useless as the other guy"

The other guy is her pool boy, electrician, (fill in the blank)

Her set ups beg for punch lines. Teresa is such a good comediac straight man.

I get the impression Kerry picked up Teresa in Palm Springs, Ca. Lots of old female and male strays out there always looking to hook up with someone with the loot.

"No, It's pretty clear that she is not a supportive wife. I'm saying people might pity Kerry because of her, but he can't function fully without a supportive wife and she isn't one."

The DNC is trying to make the left love her. The classic Pavlovian response has been to try REALLY hard.

Actually, if she really supported him, shouldn't she be saying we should vote for him because he and Edwards have better hair? "Vote for my husband! He's very French and he has great hair! And I'm opinionated and will fight for the right of all women to be opinionated...where was I? Oh. Vote for my husband, he's a Vietnam War Hero ® who got his medals the old fashioned way! [he inherited them??]"

Speaking of moonbats...what a flake that wench is. I almost want to buy 'the hedge fund mistress' just to see what lovey-dovey crap she has to spew about Kerry. But then I'd have to give that noodlebrain bimbo money for her liberal habit.

I know a little about handwriting.

Teresa's handwriting shows she has great interest for all things with a "flair"(her jet settin lifestyle) yet is VERY tight with "her" money ie., she's so tight with her money she squeaks when she walks. Her writing style is especially consistent, nice slant and curve but SO FRICKEN TINY AND LOWER CASED it's 95% unreadable which is very telling since both her and John flip/flop on so many things they say.

Oh and one more thing about Teresas handwriting. It's so unreadable it implies Teresa subconsciously doesn't want anyone to be able to read it, or HER. Hmmmm

"Any handwriting experts here?"

I'm not an expert but have some experience with it. Ruler straight lines: pays attention to detail. Highly pronounced right slant: has a high opinion of herself. (Right slant means self confidence, but this handwriting is extreme) The lack of any flourishes and almost completely non-existant closed curvature letters, like the "e"s and "a"s shows ol' Mama T to be self absorbed and non-nurturing. IMO, of course.

I'm sorry, I should've made it clearer: That's John Kerry's handwriting.

YIKES! Ok, then JOHN has a high opinion of himself, is highly self absorbed, non-nurturing and assailed by self doubt (goes with the non-existant "e"s and "a"s and I forgot to add it when I thought that was Teresa's)

So, here I was already adding yet ANOTHER piece of evidence to my profile of Teresa as a needy, co-dependant drug addict, and here all I really got was a needy co-dependant...who doesn't act like a drug addict, just a slight opium burnout. I'm crushed....

"This is saying quite a bit when you consider the only qualifications our founding fathers found necessary to enumerate for one to be President is they had to be at least 35 years of age and they had to be a natural-born citizen of The United States."

It really is amazing when you think about it, a person could meet the constitutional requirements to be President and not be qualified for a minimum wage job.
