Managing Teresa. Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, presented a host of behind-the-scenes drama for Kerry. Early on, the campaign staff regarded Teresa as something of a hypochondriac, and she canceled three trips in October at the last minute, usually for what was described to aides as a "nonspecific malady." Kerry's first campaign manager, James Jordan, had little patience for her strong opinions, sending emails trashing the candidate's wife...which inevitably reached his rivals within the campaign, including Bob Shrum (an old Teresa friend) and helped seal Jordan's eventual dismissal. Later came Kerry campaign's post-convention "Sea to Shining Sea" tour: a 3,500-mile bus and train trek that was not a happy trip for Teresa. With each passing day she made less effort to hide her displeasure. Audiences were mystified when Teresa turned her back to them at daylight rallies and wore dark sunglasses and a hat at night (backstage, the candidate's wife complained of migraines and sore eyes). As they reached the climax of the tour, an hourlong "family vacation" hike in the Grand Canyon, the planned happy-family- vacation was disintegrating in plain view. Daughter Vanessa didn't enjoy being a prop, Teresa was complaining of migraines and telling her husband she couldn't walk anymore. The candidate tried to bravely soldier on, pulling his sullen wife and children to show them the magnificent condors flying overhead.

It will be interesting to see if Newsweek accuses Teresa of doctor shopping for the prescription medications she takes for all her "ailments".
This is gonna be good :o)
Terezzzzza is a skag!
If they do (and they probably should), look for Rush Limbaugh to use her as a symbol of the liberals who caused him so much grief.
Let them eat their own. Pass the popcorn!
"The candidate tried to bravely soldier on, pulling his sullen wife and children to show them the magnificent condors flying overhead."
Condors or vultures?
Raisin overdose?
Anyone find any of this the least bit surprising? Anyone? Bueller?
I just KNEW she was on something!
"The candidate tried to bravely soldier on, pulling his sullen wife and daughters..."
Gee, it almost makes me feel sorry for the guy.
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
That's why I've been calling her the Ketchup Queen.
Funny how many "insider" stories are now coming out about the Kerry camp.
Why didn't the people have a right to know this--BEFORE the election?
In the Newsweek view, it can't be anything that Kerry did, or his dumbfounded campaign staff, or his vile fumble-fingered advisors.
No, blame it on poor Teresa...who had to set there munching white raisins hoping that a stroke would carry off this pompous, arrogant jackass of a second husband.
Terayza: "Shove it."
Did it seem as though she had to be held upright during sKerry's concession speech?
She looked like she was completely looped on something.
I can only imagine what she had to say.
"Susan Estrich, a California law professor,
well-known liberal talking head and onetime campaign manager for Michael
Dukakis, had called the Kerry campaign for marching orders. She had been
booked on Fox's "Hannity & Colmes" to talk about the Swift Boat ads."
Presstitutes....
> This is gonna be good :o)
Not until the legacy media decides to "discover" that
the Swifties were telling the truth, and by gosh,
there's even more to it than was revealed in UFC.
