Teresa Heinz Blames the Media
Making what she called her "first real speech" since her husband lost the presidential election, Teresa Heinz blamed the media for distorting their position on the environment.
Addressing Stanford University's "Whole Earth Symposium" last week, the first lady wannabe said that the press was largely responsible for the perception that her husband ignored the environment during the 2004 campaign, according to the campus newspaper, the Stanford Report. She insisted that John Kerry discussed energy issues every day and claimed that she frequently talked about "sustainability." But their comments were not reported.
What did get covered was the fact that the Heinz Kerrys' owned a gas guzzling private jet, a yacht Teresa bought for her husband, four SUV's and five giant mansions that burn up thousands of gallons of oil each year to heat and cool.
But Mrs. Heinz didn't address questions about how her lifestyle conflicted with her environmental beliefs.
Instead she accused reporters of falsely presenting the facts about climate change as a "duel of battling scientists."

Closer than it should have been ... the MSM exhibited NO curiosity about Kerry's past or present -- they made the whole thing a "get Bush" exercise. It's fine to question a president's decisions, but to ignore the transgressions (some bordering on treason) of the challenger is inexcusable.
With a fair playing field, W would have won much more easily.

No Teraysu, it wasn't that you and Skerry owned them, it was the classic John Kerry/Bill Clinton word game of trying to say that he didn't own them, the family owned them, therefore he shouldn't be acccused of hypocrisy for owning an SUV.

These people are delusional. I think Kerry's biggest problem, in general, was he didn't show anyone, nominally a Bush supporter, why they should change their support. He got all the natural democrat constituencis (gays, welfare moms, trial lawyers, abortion providers), but no one on the fence saw anything from him (or his wife) that said, "I should go with this guy." Instead, he wishy-washed his way through every issue. And his well-known supporters looked like the bar scene from Star Wars.
When you are trying to unseat an incumbent president, you have to really close the sale. People in the middle just never saw any reason to change from GWB to JFK.

Teresa Heinz blamed the media for distorting their position on the environment. I don't remember the media distorting much about T.H. that wasn't in her favor. Although I'm sure that the direct quotes didn't help her.
The real media distortions emphasized a gun totin', goose huntin', multi-purple hearted war hero, one of a band of brothers, who had all these wonderful (but too complicated to explain to us serfs) "plans" for a stronger America.
Oh, and I wonder if she considers forgery to be a media distortion.

It's interesting how quickly she changed her name back to just "Heinz" once the campaign was over. More proof that these people are phony through and through.

Actually, the Leftist concept of "sustainability" applies only to the "little people".

Exactly. If she is so fond of Kerry and his crappy run for President , why did she change her name back the day after the election. I hope Heinz is standing by the pearly gates to put his republican foot up her a$$ the day she reports to St Peter. She married Kerry for the ticket to Senate perks, parties and power, she wanted him to be president for more of the same, She doesnt fool anyone , she is a climber and a Clymer.

of the reasons that kerry lost the election, lack of coverage on his environmental position ranks in the bottom 5%. for that to be true, greenies would have had to flock to nader or the green party candidate, which they demonstrably did not, or to GWB, which also didn't happen.
and they can forget the "greens stayed at home" argument, because turnout was monstrous.

"Making what she called her "first real speech" since her husband lost the presidential election, Teresa Heinz blamed the media for distorting their position on the environment." There you go again, blaming everyone else instead of taking personal responsibility. Tch...tch...tch...another glib lib.

The media was doing Kerry a favor by ignoring the environment issue.
In addition to the vehicle problem, the Kerry/Heinz team would have had to explain why owning five homes dosen't use five times as much of the earth's resources as the average American.
Kerry's answer to that question would have been fun to watch. :-)
