Teresa Watch
Posted by Bill
Keep talking, Terry. Let's review the soundbites from the past week ... 7/26/04 8/01/04 8/02/04 When a Bush supporter with a bullhorn shouted "four more years" from the back of a large crowd packed into a downtown Milwaukee park, Heinz Kerry, who was introducing her husband, responded: "They want four more years of hell." "Three more months!," she declared, referring to the Nov. 2 presidential election. It's like watching a train wreck. Whether it's for strictly partisan motivations or just neutral appreciation of the woman's sheer entertainment value, I think we can all agree: more Teresa! UPDATE: Allah says, "You forgot the time ..." Let's review some previous hits: 6/05/02 When Kerry is asked about the nightmares that haunted his sleep for years after he returned from Vietnam, he shrugs. "I don't think I've had a nightmare in a long time," he says. But then Heinz begins to mimic Kerry having a Vietnam nightmare. "Down! Down, down!" she yells, patting her hands down on her auburn hair. "I haven't gotten slapped yet," she says. "But there were times when I thought I might get throttled." May/03 12/11/03 6/15/04 Various past gems, from a must-read Boston Magazine article: She never really suspected either of her husbands of cheating, she added. "What I expect of them, they have a right to expect of me," she said. "Maybe I'm into 18-year-olds." She told the Boston Globe of her shock and pleasure at seeing blacks in South Africa, where she was sent to boarding school from her home in Mozambique at age 13. "Our guys weren't so black and so big," she said. She once described the prospect of being first lady as "worse than going to a Carmelite convent." As early as 1994, during elections for her late husband's former Senate seat in Pennsylvania, Heinz Kerry called politicians like Republican Rick Santorum "Forrest Gump with attitude..." Former staffers for Senator Heinz, campaign workers for Kerry, and salespeople at chic clothing shops frequented by the heiress say she doesn't hesitate to voice her displeasure. This conduct is so widely known in the retail world that a woman who works in one Newbury Street boutique says she's grateful Heinz Kerry does so much of her shopping in Washington, and not here. After most of the trick-or-treaters had finished their rounds, Heinz Kerry made an appearance when three children about 10 years old rang her bell, two dressed as hippies and one as a cat. "I had a big barrel of candy, and it's all gone!" she screamed, shutting the door on the bewildered youngsters. And some serious truth to power in 1975: Teresa Heinz Kerry, years before becoming a Democrat, railed against the party's "putrid'' politics, said she didn't trust Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and angrily called the liberal lion a ``perfect bastard.'' Now if only we could get Laura Bush to start swearing and mixing it up ...

Posted by: Allah at August 2, 2004 11:21 PM Sorry -- the buttons actually read "Asses of Evil." My mistake. Teresa's still a cunt. Posted by: Allah at August 2, 2004 11:25 PM I love that photo of her! I can hear it now, "Stay away from her! The sow is mine!" :D Posted by: Charles at August 3, 2004 02:08 AM Tereza Heinz Kerry: I'm not Tereza Posted by: El Jefe at August 3, 2004 10:15 AM I must be slow this morning .. I don't get it. Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at August 3, 2004 10:22 AM I'm not sure, but I think El Jefe is doing a take-off on a skit I once heard about that starts off with "I'm not Rappaport"... but I can't be sure, because I don't remember anything else about it. There was a movie with that title a few years ago, too, but I didn't see it. Jefe? Please, enlighten us. Posted by: Walter Sobchak at August 3, 2004 11:08 AM No! You fools! The Exorcist! Posted by: El Jefe at August 3, 2004 11:34 AM Ahhhhh ... very funny, then. Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at August 3, 2004 12:01 PM Man, She's uglier than a dime's worth of dog meat. Sorry - had to be said. Posted by: Joel (No Pundit Intended) at August 3, 2004 03:27 PM I actually think that she's pretty damn good-looking for a 60+ year-old. That's what a lot of money will buy you, I guess ... Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at August 3, 2004 03:34 PM The bet is, if Kerry wins, how long after inauguration will THK get drunk and slam a plate over the head of a visiting ambassador at a White House dinner? I say within 6 months. Posted by: jane m at August 3, 2004 11:23 PM |
