NEW YORK (AP) — Teresa Heinz Kerry, encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials like water and electric generators.
"Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. "Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes."
Heinz Kerry stopped by a market in the heart of Brooklyn's Caribbean community, where she spoke French with Haitian vendors and shook hands with volunteers busy packing food, clothes and other relief supplies to be shipped to several Carribean islands hit by Hurricane Ivan. Her husband's campaign donated water, blankets and first aid kits.
"I think it's important we help all the kids we can," Heinz Kerry said.
Ivan swept through the Caribbean last week, killing more than 60 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless.
Dr. Roy A. Hastick Sr., president of the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and coordinator of the market's relief effort, said the visit helped make difficult days a bit brighter.
"It's a major boost for us and the community to show we have someone on a national level concerned with what's happening in the Caribbean region," Hastick Sr. said.
Supporters gathered on the sidewalk shouted "We love you," and "Good luck" as Heinz Kerry made her way to a waiting car.
I have an unimpeachable source....
Nitwit.
You wear light loose clothing to protect you from bugs and the sun also to keep from getting hypothermia at night.
Yes you can get hypothermia in the tropics. Get wet, throw in a wind and no protection and the core body temperature of a child can drop very fast.
Did I just read, "....but let them go naked for a while"? I'm laughing so hard I'm about to fall off my chair. Let's face it, kids. Terri wasn't exactly having a Mamie Eisenhower moment there, was she? She'd be a nightmare in the White House. That's one of the reasons I'm happy her husband isn't going to win.
SHe even said generators before food.
I say off with her head!
Yes but those are AMERICAN kids, they dont count..
Quick! Turn on the leaf-blower until we can get her muzzle back on!
The woman certainly has a way with words!!!!!!!!!!

Oh good Lord........and this brainless twit wants to be First Lady. The Dems never cease to floor me........
Her brain is a little rusty. When you have as much money as she does, you can hire people to think for you.
