Teresa Heinz Kerry: International Terrorism Expert
Yes, I'm sure many of you were completely unaware that the rich dilettante Teresa Heinz Kerry is also one of the foremost experts on terrorism. Forget Richard Clarke, Condoleeza Rice, and everybody else! The person whose opinion on this should carry the most weight is Teresa Heinz Kerry.
And it doesn't stop there. Heinz Kerry is truely a Renaissance woman. She is an expert on the environment, health care, human rights, and health care. How did she get to become such a world renowned expert in so many fields? Well she married John Heinz who was a U.S. Senator, and when he died she got all his money. See?
"I think the American people are beginning to see the dichotomy between terrorism on the one hand and Iraq on the other. There're not the same. The only thing that is the same is that Iraq has made terrorism worse, not better. ... It's exasperated terrorism worldwide," Teresa Heinz Kerry said during a brief news conference at Franklin Canyon Park.
Exasperates terrorism? Kind of like exasperating capitalism, feminism and racism? I dunno, but it sounds kind of weird to exasperate an "-ism". But what do I know I don't have $500 million dollars. Clearly she knows much more about this than I do, which is why her comment on it is seen as news worthy.

Maybe they're just computer illiterate.
... I think I slipped an unnecessary qualifier into the preceding sentence.
She meant exasterate. That's when you lose your star.
Posted by: Ron Hardin on April 24, 2004 12:45 AMHmm. 'Exasperated terrorism' - this is from a person with an exceedingly large bank account balance. I'd rather listen to the opinion of someone - working class - putting in 60 hours per week who has a chunk of money taken out of their paycheck for taxes and see what they have to say, living week to week wondering if they can make rent rather than someone 'blinded by freedom' from all those dollar bills. Ms. Heinz-Kerry's opinion under that premise has diminsished credibility....Ms. Heinz-Kerry need to rethink her position.
