Teresa Heinz drops 'Kerry'

Compiled by Tribune-Review staff Sunday, February 6, 2005

A campaign convenience is no more.

According to The Washington Times, Teresa Heinz, the erstwhile Teresa Heinz Kerry, has stopped using the last name of her husband, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, last year's Democrat presidential nominee.

Preceding its Women Who Make a Difference Awards dinner next month, the National Council for Research on Women is featuring "a conversation with Teresa Heinz," according to a release from the organization. The council failed to mention the final half of the Fox Chapel ketchup heiress' formerly elongated last name in several other references.

"I just checked and she no longer uses her (entire) last name; only during the (presidential) campaign did she use Kerry," campaign spokeswoman Tamara Rodriguez Reichberg said.

We suppose this means the Kerrys (er, make that Heinz and Kerry) will have to get their checks reprinted, but it's an expense they probably can afford.

I wonder what Heinz ever saw in her and for him to leave his entire fortune to her . And he was a republican at that.

TreeZa is smarter than I thought.

It's like the naming of a sports arena. John Heinz brought enough money to the deal to get the broad named after him, while Kerry didn't.

Now, if someone buys a controlling interest in the Heinz corporation and changes its name, then we might see her updating her stationery.

Cindy McCain had better watch out. Tereza is coming after John McCain -- her next horse to ride to become First Lady.

I suspect that she is preping for a divorce within 12 months. She needs him to agree to some kind of financial settlement...probably in the $100 million range. And I'm guessing that Kerry is asking for well over $200 million. It'll be fascinating to see how quick he remarries. There are various rumors of his discretions...and that there probably is some gal prepared to become the next Ms. Kerry.

I see your dork and raise you one dweeb.

[highlymotivated]

and that there probably is some gal prepared to become the next Ms. Kerry.

In 1999 he was fooling around with some 26 y.o. South African journalist. Shortly thereafter, SHE relocated to S.A. and momma T made John-boy move into the guest house!

Slightly off topic. Has anybody else notice Ore-Ida brand potatoe products suck since Heinze took over ?

[tuffydoodle]

I don't know how to photoshop but someone needs to put Kerry's face on the guy in this pic. Alot of fun could be had with this picture.

She can definitely afford it, I'm not so sure that he can though.

[Embraer2004]

LOL!! Kerry's face on the guy and Hillary's face on the female skater..

[foreverfree]

bump

[tuffydoodle]

Oh Gawd, somebody do it!!!

[longtermmemmory]

where is she going to get another senator?

makes you feel sorry for the for the late senator Heinz (R).

[Night Hides Not]

She can definitely afford it, I'm not so sure that he can though.

He can't. The interest on that $6.5 million loan he took in early 2004 is more than his Senate salary.

Where's the lamestream media when you need them?

[twigs]

I find that interesting in light of the fact that it seems Kerry is going to run for president again.

"I just checked and she no longer uses her (entire) last name; only during the (presidential) campaign did she use Kerry,"

Not entirely true. By using "Heinz" only, she is using her entire last name. It never was "Heinz-Kerry." For proof look at John's tax returns, the full legal name of his spouse is simply listed as "Teresa Heinz."

And my post election thread titled "Heinz, Kerry divorce pool" was pulled..............

[OrioleFan]

Maybe Sinator Kerry is on the Hunts...
