Heinz Kerry's persona offsets Kerry

NEW YORK -- They say that opposites attract, and in the case of Sen. John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry, that may be true -- at least in their public personas.

While the Democratic presidential nominee has a reputation for being aloof and serious, his wife is perceived as the exact opposite. She can be downright playful in public -- dancing or laughing or poking fun at her husband as if he's her straight man. Such as this weekend, when her husband told reporters he was going to spend a Sunday at home working. Heinz Kerry quipped that he has a tough job: "Putting up with me!"

[snip]

When Kerry returned, Heinz Kerry made a kissing noise as if she were asking him if he kissed the bride. She feigned jealousy, asked "Was she pretty?" and then wondered whether she could kiss the groom.

"Absolutely," Kerry said. "You can do whatever you want."

Heinz Kerry tried to make her way toward the wedding party. Kerry grabbed her hand and pulled her back, while she laughed and repeated, "I want to kiss the groom, I want to kiss the groom!"

[snip]The couple recognized a few young reporters in one passing cab, and Heinz Kerry leaned in the window playfully asking, "Where's the bar? Where's the bar?" as if she were going to join them. Her husband finally pulled her away by the hand with a broad smile on his face.

[snip]

Last spring, Heinz Kerry had told reporters traveling with Kerry: "I'm too old to get embarrassed."

Kerry was desperate for her money and Teresa was hard up. She was too obnoxious for a decent man to endure.

This is so incredibly unseemly. To think the teeny-hag and the gigolo are a smattering of votes away from the White House is enough to make me quasy.

If I was a Billion-heir-ess and had to live with John Kerry, I'd probably act out too. Only worse. ;-)

Sounds to me like she needs her medicines adjusted.

Let's not mince words here. Ter-ray-zuh is a broad. She looks like one and sounds like one.

This lady is an effing whack job. But will somebody please buy her a comb! Her hair always looks like she just walked in from a storm. Maybe the John Johns could lend her some hair spray.

(If the Kerrys were Republican, the story would be written like this):

NEW YORK -- They say that opposites attract, and in the case of Sen. John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry, that may be true -- at least in their public personas.
While the presidential nominee has a reputation for being cold and rigid, his wife is perceived as the exact opposite. She can be outrageous and insulting in public -- dancing or laughing or poking fun at her husband as if he's her straight man. Such as this weekend, when her husband told reporters he was going to spend a Sunday at home working. As she staggered away, Heinz Kerry quipped that he has a tough job: "Putting up with me!"


[snip]

When Kerry returned, Heinz Kerry made a kissing noise as if she were asking him if he kissed the bride. She showed her jealousy, screeching "Was she pretty?" and then wondered with a leer whether she could kiss the groom.

"Absolutely," Kerry said impatiently. "You can do whatever you want."

Heinz Kerry tried to make her way toward the wedding party, but stumbled drunkenly. Kerry grabbed her hand and pulled her back, while she laughed and repeated, "I want to kiss the groom, I want to kiss the groom! Get your freakishly long fingers away from me!"


[snip]The couple recognized a few young reporters in one passing cab, and Heinz Kerry leaned in the window playfully asking, "Where's the bar? Where's the bar?" as if she were going to join them, like she has on numerous other occasions. Her husband finally pulled her away by the hand with a grimace of pain and embarassment on his face.

Last spring, Heinz Kerry had told reporters traveling with Kerry: "I'm too old to get embarrassed, and too intoxicated to care!"

Isn't it, though????

She's gotta be on hitlery's payroll - no way would any WOMAN supposedly stumping for her husband running for President of the United States of America cause so much harm.

Poor man, rich woman...I guess that's about as opposite as you can get.

Lets get back to the purpose of the article..........

They're trying to increase the vote-abilty of Kerry by showcasing his 'fun', 'devil-may-care' wife.

Sorry; It doesn't work for me.

Even if John Kerry kicks GW's butt in the poles.

Who the heck wants Terezza repreenting our country as our first lady.

Too bad the old broad has so much money, John could dump her for a more repoectable character that would complement his candidacy as opposed to competing with him for the dumb remark of the day.

Did this potential first lady actually call the political opponents "Scumbags" the other day.

Wow - John Kerry , Maybe. Terezza - HELL NO.
