#1 Teresa's a loose cannon - check out the expression on her face the next time you see Kerry hug and kiss her during his appearances on the platform. Release your tax returns hon! We want to see how much you've been giving to your lefty causes

#2 Maybe she would feel better living in Sudan with her terrorist friends.

#3 She DID marry an American. She married HJ Heinz,IV, who was killed in a plane crash. Then she married John Kerry.

#5 John Kerry's idea of success is to

a) marry a woman worth $300 million
b) ditch her when a woman worth more than $500 million becomes available.

He's movin' on up.

I'll be he's wondering if any of Sam Walton's heirs are available. Then again, they probably have more discriminating taste than to marry Gigolo John Kerry.

#6 (From the original piece at www.nypost.com):

"I can't believe my family left Africa and came to this country. I can't believe I live in America, I can't believe I ever even married an American."

Spread that message around the Heartland, sweetie. Your hubby needs all the help he can get.

Ha!

#8 It is amazing what JFKerry and Theresa will willinglingy put out into the public for mass consumption. And this is before we start to hear about the stuff they are hiding.

#9 Her statements could be read as pro-american and just happy and disbelieving that things had come out so well after moving from Madagascar.

The comments at the end of the article seem to indicate that her being shy is why she can't believe she married a politician (and thus has to deal with criticism from folks demanding her tax records) not that politicians are scumbags or something.

I think to be fair you would have to see the video (if any) of this conversation.

At least that's my reading until another source or something comes out.

#10 Great, she does Hillary one better: she is not just any old shrew, she is an anti-American shrew.

#11 Translation: I can't believe I married an American Liberal without a pre-nup, my bad!

#12 I gotta agree with Ruprecht---the meaning's kind of ambiguous. At the end of the "I can't believe" spiel she says "I can't believe we've embarked on this journey." I've often said stuff like that myself, and meant it positively. The "complaint" aspect is Newsmax's spin.

#13 The sad thing is that Kerry didn't marry her money, he married HJ Heinz IV's money. He didn't do a very good job of securing his estate either if she has so much control over it.

#15  1)Trying to play Hillary card-it is so tough,I need your sympathy(and votes).
2)Trying to gain support for not releasing "private info".
3)Thought she maried a minor politician of her own class,not some ambitious jerk who dragged her into typically tough Presidential campaign.

#16 Did anybody ever find out how HJ Heinz IV plane crashed or is it still an open investigation? Seems suspicious too me that a Liberal woman inherits a fortune after her Republican husbands death and proceeds to marry the most Liberial senator in Washington D.C.

#17 ... then Teresa Heinz Kerry clarified her comments, embellishing, "actually, I didn't marry an American, before I married an American"...

#18 From what i heard Heinz died in a helicopter crash and nobody questions that it was a legitimate accident. Wives often inherit everything when their spouse dies. Nothing conspiritorial about it as long as no other Heinz family members try to challenge things.

#19 "Did anybody ever find out how HJ Heinz IV plane crashed or is it still an open investigation?"

There never was any mystery to it: it was a midair collision caused by unbelievably gross pilot error. If I recall correctly (it happened only a few miles from my house, and was on the Philly local news for several weeks), Heinz's plane had some sort of trouble with its undercarriage, and a helicopter in the area maneuvered underneath the plane to get a look at the problem. Bad, bad, BAD move: the chopper's rotor sucked the plane down right on top of it, and both went down.

#20 Ruprecht and Angie Schultz: It depends on whether the reporting is accurate, but the story does say that "Heinz Kerry complained to the New York Post’s Cindy Adams" (emphasis added). I'm not so sure that's "spin"; more likely, it's an attempt to depict the emotion of her spoken words in print.

That doesn't strike me as meaning she's incredibly grateful her family came to America instead of staying in Africa.

Perhaps she would be happier if she went back home. She's certainly got enough money to live comfortably there. She wouldn't even have to take John with her, though I wish she would.

#21 She's not going back to Aftica. Too many mosquitoes in Mozambique. (Her ancestry is Portugese)

Madagascar was a French colony. More appropriate, ruprect, but nonetheless incorrect.
She is a Mozambiqui.

Her father was a doctor there who had moved from Lisbon.

#22 A4052 - Right you are. She is a Portuguese-Colonial-African-American.

#23 Wow! That's a heck of a Designated Victim Group.
Portuguese-Colonial-African-American...not too many of those.

Hope they overcome and join the mainstream

#24 Theresa Heinz Kerry, born Mozambique, 1939

Mozambiqui National Anthem (1975-2002) Verse 2:

United with the whole world,
Struggling against the bourgeoisie,
Our country will be the tomb
Of capitalism and exploitation.
The Mozambican People,
Workers and peasants,
Engaged in work
Shall always produce wealth.

Sounds like the upcoming Democrat Platform.

#25 I don't have a timeline, but she would have left Mozambique at around the time the Fascist dictatorship fell in Portugal and its colonies (including Mozambique) became independant in very chaotic circumstances.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that a Lefty hankers after living in Fascist colony where a small number of white people ruled the black majority.
