Rocky Mountain Heinz

John Kerry's second wife was in Colorado Friday, where, as usual, she had many ridiculous things to say. "Day One of his presidency, every child in America will have health care. Period," Teresa Heinz Kerry told an audience in Fort Collins, according to the Coloradoan, the local paper. Apparently she doesn't realize that this would require an act of Congress--or perhaps she intends to pick up the tab herself.

She also offered this wisdom on education policy: "Tests should be a measure that is enabling, not disabling. Tests that are a trap are sinful." Huh?

And in Pueblo, the Associated Press reports, she had this advice on how to fight terrorism:

"The way we live in peace in a family, in a marriage, in the world, is not by threatening people, is not by showing off your muscles. It's by listening, by giving a hand sometimes, by being intelligent, by being open and by setting high standards."

Yeah, that'll throw a scare into al Qaeda.

This seems as good a time as any to list the latest proposed Heinz ketchup slogans, by Victor Colvin, Michael Zukerman, Joe Davisson and John Rankin:

"French fries prefer me."

"Use liberally."

"Rich and thick."

"The official ketchup of Lambert Field."

If that last one escapes you, check out Football Fans for Truth. Reader Chris Switzer also offers this observation: "I got some hot sauce at Taco Bell in Altamonte Springs, Fla., on Thursday night, and all the packets had the same slogan: 'The road to mediocrity is littered with empty ketchup packets.' I guess even the 'left of center' crowd is disenchanted."

I have a better interpretation: Heinz Kerry says her husband will stage a coup against Congress on day one of his administration!

OK, it's much more likely that she just has no idea how our government works (which is astonishing in itself, considering her marital history), but my interpretation is more fun.

Sage words from a woman that has everything because her knees can move in opposite directions.

Its the lesser of two evils for JFK to keep her out on the campaign trail where she can torpedo the lifeboats; would you want her with you 24/7? Talk about sucking the life out of you.

If a Republican had said that, the MSM would have had a field day.

Hey, is it too late to start a collection of "Kerryisms"? I'm sure the nice folks at Slate would be more than happy to help with this. (/sarcasm)

John Boy, like DemocRATs before him realize that a coup is not necessary with the lousy congress. They are eagar to be complicit in any and all left-wing legislation.

John Boy, again like other DemocRATs who ran for the presidency (unfortunately for us, many made it) is an idiot! Pure and simple.

Kinda hard to listen to Islamofascists when your head is cut off your body....

I played a few soundbytes of Mrs Heinz-Kerry's speeches for my teenage sons over the weekend. I did not let them know who the speaker was.

They both laughed - hard - at some of her more asinine comments. At one point my eldest asked me if they were from a mental patient!

When I told them that the person speaking was none other than the wife of Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry, my boys positively howled with laughter. They couldn't believe that a nutcase like her with a funny accent could potentially become the First Lady of the United States of America.
