Theresa Heinz Kerry has said that she won't tap into her massive fortune left to her by her husband to fund her husband's campaign unless he is personally attacked. Of course campaign finance laws already prevent her from doing that. On the other hand, she has never said that she wouldn't use her position at the $1.2 billion Heinz Foundation Endowment, a job she inherited when her first husband, Republican Sen. John Heinz, passed away, to help advance John Kerry's candidacy. It is beginning to appear that she might be using that philanthropical position for just such a purpose. Theresa...

Bush campaign ads that fleetingly depict Ground Zero and a flag-draped stretcher are generating Democratic charges of "exploitation" of a national tragedy. Several weeks ago, President Bush donned a racing jacket and presided over the opening of NASCAR's Daytona 500, which similarly drew Democratic criticisms of "exploitation" of racing fans. Does anyone see a trend emerging? Frankly, this Democratic shtick of ranting about GOP "exploitation" is becoming both stale and predictable. Are the Democrats going to feign righteous indignation every time the Republicans engage in successful outreach to the public during this campaign season? Well, I sure hope so -...

Theresa Kerry, the wife of the now popular Democratic candidate John Kerry, has been prone to humorous gaffes over the past few months with her blasphemous remarks and sarcasm. An excerpt from an editorial from the Hindustan Times clearly states what we might be looking at in the near future: It’s not easy being a member of the First Wife’s Club in the U.S. It is hardly surprising that Theresa Heinz, the Mozambique-born wife of presidential hopeful John Kerry, recently expressed alarm at the prospect of becoming a ‘modern chattel’. For America, the land of the free and home of...

Theresa Heinz, the glamorous Mozambique-born multi-millionairess whose husband, John Kerry, is campaigning for the Democratic nomination, expressed surprise recently that "in America, a liberated country, we expect the wife of a president of the US to be, in essence, a modern chattel". Ms Heinz, who has been allocated her own handler by the Kerry campaign, in an apparently vain effort to stop her saying impolitic things, is not the only candidate's wife feeling a little bruised by the rigours of political life. Howard Dean's wife, Mrs Steinberg Dean, has very nearly been put in the stocks for choosing to stay...

<p>JOHN Kerry gets no respect in conservative Palm Beach. At a glitzy dinner hosted by Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, 500 well-heeled guests, including the presidential hopeful and his wife, Teresa Heinz, were treated to a concert by Paul Anka. The Post's Braden Keil reports that between moving tributes to Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and our soldiers in Iraq, Anka recognized several notables in the crowd - but not the Massachusetts senator. And when Anka asked, "Isn't George W. [Bush] doing a marvelous job?" there was thunderous applause. Those cheering included Teresa Heinz.</p>
