Is it normal for people to have audiotapes of phone conversations?
Or was Mommy there taping her hubby when he called so she could use bits and pieces of the conversations for her political activism buddies or to provide info to handlers?
That's an excellent question!
"Oh, the bigger point what is it with Dem women who WEAR their dead husbands names while they are (or in this case appear to be) married to someone else?"
I also have found that to be very odd, but I've only seen it addressed over at DU, and the poster was critical. I'm sure it is because Heinz, a dirty republican, is in her name, and not because her use of his name violated etiquette or good taste.
It may have been brought up here, but up until your post, I haven't seen it.
She wasn't in Vietnam, she wasn't on the boat with Kerry, therefore, according to Lanny Davis, she has NO right to speak..
Hey! No credit for Beli? I debunked this witch last night when this article was first posted. Grrrrrr!

The View From the Boat Judith Droz Keyes (NY Times, late shift, 8/26/2004)
To: conservative in nyc
She was among the throngs of anti-war protesters who were pummeled outside the convention by the Chicago police. An officer on a horse struck Keyes on the head with his baton, she says. At the time, her husband was serving in Vietnam as a swift boat officer, in the same squadron as John Kerry. Eight months later, Keyes' husband died, spurring her to become more active in the anti-war movement. That's where she met Kerry.

Where's the letter? Given her background, why should I believe her?
You got her first, pard. :-)
mucho gracias
The only mention of him in "Unfit for Command" (page 65) describes him as "a Swift Boat hero killed in 1969, a month after Kerry left Vietnam". There's nothing there questioning his medal and I don't believe that the Swiftees have mentioned him at all.
