Teresa Heinz Kerry Doubts First Lady Has Held 'real Job'... Bush was a teacher for 11 years.

Heinz Kerry Separates Self From Mrs. Bush
Wed Oct 20, 2:08 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Teresa Heinz Kerry says she doesn't know if first lady Laura Bush has ever had "a real job" and suggests their different experiences help make them different people.
Laura Bush taught in public schools in Texas from 1968 to 1977, the year she married George W. Bush.
In an interview published Wednesday in USA Today, the newspaper asked the wife of Democratic candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) if she would be different from Laura Bush as a first lady.
"Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good," Heinz Kerry said. "But I don't know that she's ever had a real job — I mean, since she's been grown up. So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things."
Heinz Kerry said she sees her age as a benefit — she is 66 and Bush 57. "I'm older, and my validation of what I do is a little bit bigger — because I'm older, and I've had different experiences. And it's not a criticism of her. It's just, you know, what life is about," she said.
Karen Hughes, an adviser to President Bush (news - web sites), criticized Heinz Kerry's remarks as "indicative of an unfortunate mind-set that seeks to divide women based on who works at home and who works outside the home."

If this outrages you as it does me contact: Sarah Gegenheimer of Kerry Edwards 2004, 202-464-2800, communications director and let her know what you think, how you will vote and why!
I guess you can expect this from an elitistist who probably sent all her children to private schools and looks down her nose at us "commoners" who teach for a living. Send this to all of your teacher friends (especially in the states of Ohio, Flordia and Pennsylvania) who might be outraged at this affront, too.

already done.
The NEA will still support this bag of #$@
I have sent this email to all the Superintendents in Florida. Collecting the addresses took no time by using s google search.
This would make and excellent activity for home school students who want to participate in government from their home classroom.
>>I mean, since she's been grown up.<<
I still don't understand this part of it. What kind of child labor is Heinz employing?
And even though Teresa Heinz has never had a "real job" where a real job is one where she has paid social security payroll taxes, she's eligible to draw social security benefits -- and I bet she is doing that now that she is over 65 -- based upon her husband's jobs.
Not all teachers are NEA members and a teacher can touch 20 voters within their own family. Just ask former governor Roy Barnes of Georgia.
Tah-ray-zah, YOU don't soak in the gin, the RAISINS do!
Both Senator Kerry and his Mrs. are Pomp Ass Narcissists.
Her legal name is not Kerry. She remains Mrs. John HEINZ. She never took Kerry's last name.
Yep...unionized teacher thugs!
So, did that big mouthed bit@h, ever work, or did she just
marry money, and then marry a money grubber...If she didn't
pis@ off most thinking, breathing, well all women, then I
give up!!! That comes from a working, middle aged, middle
class, single woman. God, I'm so sick of the two Kerry's.
For someone with a little time here are all the school districts in Ohio. Send and email to each superintendent. Superintendents hate the NEA. Some will pass on the message.

Good post engine. Will send out to my childrens teachers today.
I heard she likes to be addressed as Mrs. Heinz.
Anyone else who has time, most of the Pennsylvania school districts have links to the schools, and the school web pages have email addresses for most of the teachers. Start with Central Bucks School District (www.cbsd.org), and then Montgomery, Hatboro-Horsham, Upper Dublin, Wissahickon, Abington, Upper Moreland, Council Rock, and Pennsbury. Those are the "ground zero" areas in suburban Philly.
