Teresa Heinz Kerry expresses disgust at Republican Party

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Teresa Heinz Kerry, the multi-millionaire wife of Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry (news - web sites), expressed disgust at some of the Republican Party's political tactics in a television interview.

Heinz told CBS News she was "very upset" at Republicans for describing former Democratic senator Max Cleland of Georgia as unpatriotic during the 2002 congressional election, which he lost. Cleland lost three limbs while fighting in the Vietnam war.

"I thought it was disgusting," said Heinz Kerry, a former Republican who switched parties last year.

"All I could think was, 'What does the Republican Party need -- a fourth limb to make a person a hero?' And this coming from people who have not served. I was really offended by that. Unscrupulous and disgusting," she told CBS.

1. Bless her !

- As First Lady, she will make a real contribution as we mend fences with our allies.
- She is right about the disgusting repigs. Anyone that doesn't help them loot the treasury or obey their fundamentalist wacko agenda is "unpatriotic."
- Count me in with Max and the unpatriots. I would consider it a high compliment to be put in such distingushed company.

4. G-D LOVE THAT WOMAN!

I like her 100 times more than her husband. She's an amazing woman.

Go Teresa! Give 'em hell!

5. Careful there, T

It's good that she come out and speak her mind. But...

Believe me. I've met her. She is wonderful. But the Bush shills are looking for material and you and I know they love to distort people's records, lives... and they love picking on candidates' wives.

Careful, Teresa... they will Hillaryize you if you let them.

7. nonsense...

they'll do it no matter what she does or says. She shouldn't pause for one second to worry about what the Republicans will do to her. She should be herself.

They'll attack her anyway. You really think they'll be nice if she just plays along?
