Teresa [Heinz] on wind farm: Ask John [Kerry](Actually Ask Chris Black---Teresa's Handler)

WASHINGTON - Teresa Heinz Kerry, an ardent and often outspoken environmentalist, yesterday refused to wade into the controversy over a proposed Nantucket Sound wind farm - a potential land mine for her husband's presidential campaign.

``Because it's such a touchy issue and a Massachusetts issue, she's waiting,'' said her spokeswoman, Chris Black. ``On Massachusetts issues, her feeling is that you should ask (Sen. John F. Kerry). She has not taken a formal position on the wind farm.''

Heinz Kerry's reluctance to take a stand comes as her husband, the Massachusetts Democrat, faces criticism from environmentalists, including Greenpeace, for not backing the 130-turbine windmill farm seven miles off Cape Cod.

Heinz Kerry appeared to be following the lead of the senator, who is waiting to take a position until after the Army Corps of Engineers completes its environmental study of the Cape Wind proposal.

``I would be surprised if, at the end of the day, her position is not the same as the senator's position,'' said Black. ``They are very close on environmental issues and share a love for the ocean and the New England coast.''

Kerry, who is running for president as a strong alternative energy advocate, must weigh fierce Bay State opposition to the project against his urgent need to win liberal Democratic votes in key primary states where rival Howard Dean threatens him.

Heinz Kerry, one of the nation's leading philanthropists, has given generously to environmental causes. She also owns a mansion on Nantucket's Brant Point.

Cape Wind's plan has sparked a bitter battle on Cape Cod, where many fear the 40-story-tall turbines across a 24-square-mile grid could spoil ocean views and ruin tourism. Advocates say the windmills could provide more than half of the Cape's electricity needs without generating any pollution.

``Because it's such a touchy issue and a Massachusetts issue, she's waiting,'' said her spokeswoman, Chris Black.''

A more acurate description of Chris Black is "Handler." They are trying to keep Teresa Heinz from speaking out and embarrassing Ketchup Boy.

Teresa Heinz could singlehandedly power a wind farm.

[KellyAdmirer]

She is the official Democrat loose-cannon-in-waiting. I'm loving it. She won't be able to hide forever if he's the nominee.

We must not drill for oil in Alaska.
We must not pursue a foreign policy based upon oil.
We must not have wind farms in my back yard.

We must live in caves and huddle together against the cold.

Chris Black, for those who forgot, when she was a newsbabe at CNN, was Freeped at the WH by the DC chapter as she attempted to do a broadcast...she responded with some very unladylike comments and deleted expletives.....I tried to find the threads on search at FR..no luck..maybe someone else yhas a link..they werwe very funny...

These people are decidedly hypocritical elitists who rival France's aristocracy under the Louis'.

She wouldn't want this. If she was for wind farming in her backyard she would have said so. Just like the bozo in the Hamptons who drained the town's fresh water pond into the ocean one night last week because it was causing flooding problems in the mansions' basements. The town wanted that pond. The bozo could have built a berm.

Oh yes. All for me. Not for thee. I'd better get used to cake if the liberals get their way.
