Teresa: Saying Something with relish

Heinz ketchup has announced that a posse of celebs - everyone from Mia Hamm to Lindsay Lohan - have signed on to ``Say Something Ketchup-y'' on limited-edition bottles of Sen. John Kerry's favorite condiment.

But we are thus far underwhelmed with the supposedly saucy statements. Says Lohan: ``Burger-licious.'' Quoth the Hamm: ``Worthy as Gold.'' And William Shatner of ``Star Trek'' fame pronounces that 57 ``Fixes Burgers at Warp Speed.''

Why on Earth would the ketchup company pay for these less-than-spicy endorsements when they could simply bottle the many and varied quotes from the ketchup heiress herself???

Who has had more to say on every possible topic than Teresa Heinz Kerry???? And all of its entertaining. Pour it on!


On her husband's testing of the presidential waters in New Hampshire in 1998: ``It's ridiculous isn't it. I decided I'd be a good sport and watch it for a while.''


On her husband's announcement that he would seek another Senate term in 1996: ``I am pleased to have a John Kerry in my life. And if there's anything I can do as a woman and as his wife to make his life richer - after 12 years of celibacy - I promise you I will.''


To a conservative Pittsburgh journalist who questioned grants doled out by her Heinz Foundation: ``Shove It.''


Her description of her dead husband, John Heinz: ``My husband.''


Her description of her current husband: ``John Kerry.''


On her financial arrangement with Kerry: ``Everybody has a prenup. You have to have a prenup. You've got to have a prenup. You could be as generous or as sensitive as you want. But you have to have a prenup.''


On her regular Botox treatments: ``In fact, I need another one. Soon.''


On plastic surgery: ``When I need it, I'll get it.''


On marital fidelity: ``Maybe I'm into 18-year-olds.''


On hurricane relief efforts: ``Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while - at least, the kids.''


On opponents of her husband's health-care proposals: ``Idiots.''


On the title ``First Lady'': ``Ick.''


On her detractors: ``Scumbags.''

OH NOES!!!!!! Uhh

She has a prenup? So do most (intelligent) people. If you're trying to say that she's not as happy with Kerry as she is with her first husband -- so? My mother lost my father and he will always be her true love. Does that mean she can never get married?

Mock, you afraid of a woman with confidence actually having some power? Better hide behind your kitties. I for one love Teresa and am looking forward to her having an office in the White House.

First Lady Laura Welch Bush (November 4, 1946 - )
First Lady Laura Lane Welch Bush was born in 1946 in Midland, Texas. She met George W. Bush during his first campaign for Congress; he lost the race, but won her hand and they were married three months after they met. She had been working as an elementary school teacher and librarian.
Uncomfortable with public speaking, she has nevertheless used her popularity to promote her husband's candidacies, to promote reading for children, and to work on awareness of women's health problems including heart disease and breast cancer.

Selected Laura Bush Quotations


Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.

A love of books, of holding a book, turning its pages, looking at its pictures, and living its fascinating stories goes hand-in-hand with a love of learning. Sponsored Links

Every child in American should have access to a well-stocked school library.

The power of a book lies in its power to turn a solitary act into a shared vision. As long as we have books, we are not alone.

When we look around the world today, when we see in Afghanistan that 10 million people have registered to vote in their upcoming elections, including 40 percent of those people are women, that's just unbelievable. We wouldn't have thought that three years ago, that Afghanistan could be on their way to elections and that women can be a part of that. (August 31, 2004)

President George W. Bush, about Laura Bush's absence from an event: "It's been raining, so she needs to sweep the porch, because the President of China is coming tomorrow." When asked the next day if she appreciated the remark, she shook her head and mouthed "No."

It isn't really a sissy pretzel. (on the Tonight Show, 2/11/2002)

You think I care about your deceased mother regarding this? Gee dude, I didn't know you needed to spill it out. Do I talk about dead people in my family to make a point? You are funny, All that she said about Heinz was "my husband". If you think that is grieving your insane. And the argument wasn't about a "prenup" dimwit. You think Kerry isn't living high on the hog your totally insane. All that stuff is in a trust to keep crazy woman on a leash.

Listen to reality. Heinz set up the trust. Crazy Woman didn't. Heinz Lawyers control the trust, not Crazy Woman. She's just riding along making stipid statements.

All she has is inheritance of a trust. Show me where she didn't get pulled out of Portugul by Heinz as a sex toy. She's as dumb as a rock. She isn't a woman of confidence, she is a woman of arrogant ignorance. There is a big difference.

Good God you're dense. Of course her first husband is "her husband". That's her first true love. Does that mean she doesn't love John? No. It just means that he wasn't her real true love. I know love's a touchy subject for you Mock, but you gotta realize that the cows don't always feel the same way.

Gonna pull out Laura huh? Not smart. How many people has Teresa killed by driving drunk? Let alone being intoxicated under the legal age of consent and driving.

In
1995, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts wed Teresa Heinz, whom he first met at an Earth Day rally in 1990. Born Teresa Simões-Ferreira in Mozambique to Portuguese parents, Mrs. Kerry was previously married for 25 years to Henry John Heinz III, who was a member of the founding family of the H.J. Heinz Company and represented Pennsylvania for twenty years in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate prior to his death in a plane crash in 1991. Mrs. Kerry inherited a Heinz family fortune estimated at over $500 million.

Although Senator Kerry has been critical of the Bush administration for rewarding "Benedict Arnold CEOs" who move "profits and jobs overseas," the above-quoted attempt to link Kerry (through his wife) with the very outsourcing he decries is flawed in two major ways. First off, Teresa Heinz Kerry does not "own the Heinz Corporation" — she has no involvement whatsoever with the management or operations of the H.J. Heinz Company, nor does she own anything close to a controlling interest of the company's stock. According to Heinz itself, the Heinz family trust which Mrs. Kerry inherited sold most of its shares of Heinz stock back in 1995 and currently holds less than a 4% interest in the company:

Neither Mrs. Heinz Kerry nor Senator Kerry nor any of the Heinz trusts or endowments — either individually or collectively — holds a significant percentage of shares of the H.J. Heinz Company. In 1995 the Heinz Endowments and family trusts sold a large percentage of Heinz shares in a secondary share offering to diversify their holdings. As a result, their current holdings are under 4 percent.

There is no connection between any philanthropic programs of the H.J. Heinz Company and its Foundation and the Heinz family interests (including the Howard Heinz Endowment, the Vira Heinz Endowment, and the Heinz Family Philanthropies).
(A 4% stake in a company as large as Heinz still represents a considerable amount of money, but it isn't nearly large enough a share to give the holder any significant control or influence over the company's business decisions.)

Moreover, the Heinz Company's operations are not an example of the type of outsourcing that is currently a hot political issue (i.e., sending out work to offshore companies to provide services which a company might otherwise have employed its own staff to perform). Heinz is a U.S.-based global business which sells its products in dozens of other countries, and like other food companies it has to localize some of its production at factories located in its foreign market areas. (It makes little sense from either an economic or a freshness standpoint to be shipping fruits and vegetables and/or finished food products halfway around the world rather than producing them locally.) One wouldn't expect, for example, every can and bottle of Coca-Cola sold anywhere in the world — whether it be Australia, China, or Portugal — to be produced by U.S. bottlers.)

Totally Wrong and you don't get it! Any griving widow or widower will refer to their loss in the first name. "My Dear Richard, Oh my Steve...my Steve". She doesn't even refer to Heinz in his first name. You obviously didn't get it.

That has allready been drug out of the gutter about a tragic accident. Go play with it. It affected her tremendously and is part of her introversion. This was way before she met Bush anyway. Again, let's all live in the past in liberal land. She wasn't even charged, and it wasn't because she had "family connections". I can't vouch for all the issues, but it appears she didn't see the car coming. I don't know why you have to throw mud at her. She was devestated.

No dumbass, you obviously don't get it. And it's not worth arguing with you because you've never obviously experienced something like this.

You throw **** out, I'm gonna fling it back.

Theresa Heinz is an elitist snob who looks down on the common man. Her fake accent makes me want to puke. Hope she gets breast cancer and soon!!

Experienced what there dimwit? A death in the family? I held a withering self made Millionaire in my arms. In my arms and fed him Ensure while he spit up I held him like a baby, cleaned him when the nurse wasn't there and made sure he was as comfortable as possible.

Noone deserves to go thru what I have. But he knows I loved him and carried him around and tried to get Ensure down him in the last weeks. So don't go there.
