Teresa Says Bush Is Kerry's Best Fundraiser

[DrFunkenstein]

NEW YORK - Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, says "the other guy" — President Bush — may be her husband's biggest fund-raiser.

"Alone, I was able to raise $2 million in a week a month ago," Heinz Kerry said Thursday at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Manhattan, an annual state Democratic event. "I don't think it's me. I think it's the other guy, and I don't mean my husband."

"One of the saddest things about this administration is its cynical attempt to equate patriotism with singing in the president's amen chorus," she said. "The Americans I have met are tired of being told it is unpatriotic to question this president and his administration's policies."

Heinz Kerry, who has been blunt in her public comments, also touched on her reputation for being outspoken. "I have been known to speak my mind and express my opinions — maybe you've heard that," she said. "My hope is that at the end of this campaign or one day soon, women who have earned the right to their opinions won't be called opinionated."

1. GOOD ONE, TERRY!!!

And it ties into a DU thread I saw today about Bush doing more to unite the Democrats than the Democrats are!

Newsweek asked "A Loose Cannon Or Crazy As A Fox?" when it ran a cover story about her. I'd say she was just foxy.

And I recall Ann "Thrax" Coulter spewing some venom about Kerry's penchant for marrying rich widows. As if SHE wouldn't do so if she had half a chance...

5. Why can't SHE run?

I could get behind her a lot more happily than her uninspiring, "go along to get along" spouse.
