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."

This is exactly the kind of issue that the world's best campaign consultant cannot deal with - there's no way to dress up this pig. On a gut level - very few people would like to see the White House disgraced by someone like Theresa Heinz-Kerry - and no ad campaign, no slick packaging or message magic will ever change this. End of story.

It would be interesting to see a poll regarding American womens' perception of this woman. Perhaps they've been done, and they're afraid to reveal the results.

Nedra Pickler is a very sharp reporter. I suspect that she wrote this with her tongue well into her cheek.

the first thing that came to mind (and continued through the story) was that she was wasted and is often that way. makes my skin crawl to think of her in the White House.

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

IMHO, Ter-ray-zuh, for all her money, is a low class gold digger. I wonder what the Heintz family thought of her.

The couple held hands, and were closely followed by reporters, Secret Service agents, eight police cars and the remaining vehicles in the candidate's motorcade.

This sounds like on of those wildly 'spontaneous' moments like when Bill and Hillary danced together on the beach. Ahh,isn't it just too sweet.

He hasn't cut the mustard since his prostate went south. She gets a couple a belts o' booze in her, and all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out.

But will somebody please buy her a comb! Her hair always looks like she just walked in from a storm

That's supposed to look wild and sex. She wants us to think her hair is continually and seductively tossed by unseen winds. Or she wants us to think that she has just had a roll in the hay with "her man" Take your pick

Essentially, he's personality deficient and her personality is thunderous.

They're like Jack Sprat and his wife.

Or maybe some kind of super storm.

There's no dearth of democrats in Washington, which is to say, indecent men. She could have bagged Condit. For example.

I think Mama-T could the star of the funniest TV reality show of all time. Let's just hope and pray it's not in the White House.

"Playfull"?? How about doped up and staggering drunk? If she wasn't a billionaire, you'd probably be seeing her on "Cops".
