Managing Teresa. Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, presented a host of behind-the-scenes drama for Kerry. Early on, the campaign staff regarded Teresa as something of a hypochondriac, and she canceled three trips in October at the last minute, usually for what was described to aides as a "nonspecific malady." Kerry's first campaign manager, James Jordan, had little patience for her strong opinions, sending emails trashing the candidate's wife...which inevitably reached his rivals within the campaign, including Bob Shrum (an old Teresa friend) and helped seal Jordan's eventual dismissal. Later came Kerry campaign's post-convention "Sea to Shining Sea" tour: a 3,500-mile bus and train trek that was not a happy trip for Teresa. With each passing day she made less effort to hide her displeasure. Audiences were mystified when Teresa turned her back to them at daylight rallies and wore dark sunglasses and a hat at night (backstage, the candidate's wife complained of migraines and sore eyes). As they reached the climax of the tour, an hourlong "family vacation" hike in the Grand Canyon, the planned happy-family- vacation was disintegrating in plain view. Daughter Vanessa didn't enjoy being a prop, Teresa was complaining of migraines and telling her husband she couldn't walk anymore. The candidate tried to bravely soldier on, pulling his sullen wife and children to show them the magnificent condors flying overhead.
Good of Newsweek to tell us this NOW, not last week, huh? Behaving like a nutjob as First Lady has a definite effect on his performance and fitness.
I'm really gonna miss her.....
Gee, what sort of person wears dark glasses for sore eyes at night? Answer: Watch any B-rated cop movie. Such people usually have ingested a substance that dilates their pupils.
The polls haven't been closed 48 hours yet the Kerry-camp backstabbers and Hillary-camp boosters are in full bloom.
TerriKerry was one BIG bullet we dodged. Whew!
Plus hats and sunglasses in daylight=========>hangover (she said "migraine")
She's clearly a drunk.
Is all that money worth it, john effin' ?
And she got really fat on the campaign trail!
Boy, is that ever the truth.
Someone post the pic of John and Teresa at the Grand Caynon. Its really funny.
Now that's FUNNY!
She would have been the only reason I wanted Kerry to win, just to watch "White House Reality TV" for four years.
Jean Francois Keri was probably thinking "I need to git me a huntin' license" at about that time.
IMO we had enough of that in the 90's.
"Screw you people. This beer loves me. "
