Teresa's Ted K tirade

Teresa Heinz Kerry, years before becoming a Democrat, railed against the party's ``putrid'' politics, said she didn't trust Sen. Edward M. Kennedy [related, bio] and angrily called the liberal lion a ``perfect bastard.''

In comments published in a little-known 1975 book about political wives called ``The Power Lovers: An Intimate Look at Politicians and Their Marriages,'' Heinz Kerry lashed out at the senator she'll share the primetime convention stage with tonight.

``I know some couples who stay together only for politics,'' Heinz Kerry said at the time. ``If Ted Kennedy holds on to that marriage (to ex-wife Joan) just for the Catholic vote, as some people say he does, then I think he's a perfect bastard.''

Heinz Kerry, then married to Republican Sen. H. John Heinz III of Pennsylvania, said she ``didn't trust'' President Richard M. Nixon but added, ``Ted Kennedy I don't trust either.''

The combustible and ever-quotable Heinz Kerry said of Democrats, ``The Democratic machine in this country is putrid.'' Excerpts of the comments appeared in The Boston Herald American in January 1976.

Coming a day after Heinz Kerry was caught on camera telling a reporter to ``shove it'' when the reporter questioned her on statements made in a Boston speech, the remarks could undercut Democrats' ability to showcase a positive message at the convention.

Kennedy's office dismissed the comments as water under the bridge and said the two get along famously now _ regardless of what Heinz Kerry has said in the past.

``Over the years, Sen. and Mrs. Kennedy and John Kerry [related, bio] and Teresa Heinz Kerry have developed a deep friendship and strong mutual respect,'' Kennedy spokesman David Smith said in a statement to the Herald.

``A 30-year-old quote dug up by the Republican attack machine made long before they became friends is irrelevant.''

Heinz Kerry's spokeswoman also said the quotes' age makes them irrelevant.

``You are talking about statements that are more than 30 years old. A lot has changed since then,'' said Marla Romash, a senior adviser to Heinz Kerry.

But it isn't the first time quotes have emerged in which Heinz Kerry targets the legendary Bay State senator.

In an interview with The Washington Post in 1971, Heinz Kerry declared, ``Ted Kennedy I don't trust, like I don't trust Nixon, although I think Nixon's done a helluva lot better than I thought he would.''

Just last year, Heinz Kerry said she regretted the comments she had made to the Post regarding Kennedy.

Romash noted the number of times Heinz Kerry has campaigned with Kennedy and said Victoria Reggie Kennedy will host a luncheon for Heinz Kerry this afternoon at the Museum of Fine Arts.

``There's a very good relationship now,'' Romash said.

She said Heinz Kerry stood by her comments about the Democratic machine, saying state Democratic parties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania at the time were ``a big problem,'' Romash said.

``I think there are a lot of people who would say there were problems in state parties in Pennslyvania and New Jersey,'' Romash said. ``Those problems don't exist anymore.''

LOL...not overly relevant but interesting to see this stuff come up, amazing how people can so easily change their minds to suit their needs....also seems as if she was right on her call with Teddy marrying for the vote only 🙂 nice to see it get dirty. Here is the link for you link fools 🙂

Wow the Republican Attack/Smear Machine is good. Of course John McCain could have verified that!

c-mon conjur this is the best you can do? really I am tired of your hypocracy, you lambast other members for frivolous posts and or responses and yet do the same damn thing....30 years ago Bush wasn't calling Cheney an a-hole...this has direct bearing on her current situation and or husbands cronies...while the comment is dated it is still interesting that she said it.

Hey if she thinks Kennedy and Cheney are assholes then it shows me that she is very perceptive!

30+ years ago Bush didn't give a sh*t other than getting high and drunk and insulting people he felt were below him.

And, no, it's not the best I can do. It's far from it. But this bullsh*t thread of yours deserves nothing more. How many times have I said what happened 30+ years ago doesn't really mean squat? You don't think Bush is the same person he was 30+ years ago, do you? Neither do I. And the same goes for Kerry.

This thread is complete and utter tripe.

This is awesome, they are already acting like it is Post Election and they've already lost.

I wasn't expecting this, very cool 😎 😀 :thumbsup:

Conjur, remind me again what the header for this forum is?? isn't it "Politics and News".....correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Boston Herald a bonified newspaper? and last I checked this was a FRONT PAGE story, at least it is listed on their opening webpage....if they think it is newsworthy then why shouldn't we, or at least enough so that it can be posted for discussion....if anything the newspapers seem to think this deserves alot more attention then your Mikey Moore rebuttal bull$hit threads...

This has nothing to do with being the same person, rather holding a grudge and how it is interesting that she can change tune..speaking for myself I know that while I can be civil to someone whom I previously held a grudge I could never completely trust them, like them, or enjoy working with them...

Dave again wtf are you talking about...personally I am getting to the point where I hope for your case specifically kerry does win and then you are still screwed over by the system...curious if you will keep bitching or will finally shut up since your "boy" made it...

 

[conjur]

Yeah...more signs of that "liberal media". :roll:

Just because something is on the FRONT PAGE doesn't make it news. This happened DECADES ago. It's a non-issue.

And, btw, is Ted Kennedy on the ticket? No. So, your point is moot.

what point is moot conjur?? you make no sense. So being on the front page of a newspaper is not enough in your eyes to classify something as news? instead it has to be on Mikey moore's website in rebuttal to an attack on his film?? right

 

[Fingolfin269]

The 'It happened 30 years ago' argument doesn't really work if someone is going to say that and then turn around in another thread and mention military records. I personally think that something someone did or said 30 years ago shouldn't ever be held against them now, but hey, sometimes people need to dig REAL deep to find some negativity.

 

[Siddhartha]

Okay you convinced me. I promise not to vote for Teresa in November.

Bush didnt kill someone ~30 years ago Teddy did.

And as someone else pointed out, your posts in other threads. It seems you only like using things that fit your arguements then discount the same type of thing when it doesnt.

 

[Todd33]

Ya, 30 years is a long time. Hell, 30 years ago I was crapping myself... oh I guess things don't change that much 🙂

Now you're not making any sense. Perhaps it's the spittle flying from your mouth and making it difficult for you to type.

AGAIN, because this is on the front page does not mean it's anything.

The Globe is the main paper in Boston, eh? The Globe has almost twice the circulation as the Herald. The Herald is more akin to the NY Post.

Looks are deceiving then as that is far from the case.

AGAIN, I do not care what Bush, Kerry, Heinz, Edwards, Cheney, etc. were doing 30+ years ago. They are NOT the same people with the same opinions as they held then.

None of them have done things in the past that most Americans haven't done themselves.

This whole thread is complete and utter tripe.

Conjur, I love it how you always try to discredit those who disagree with you by inferring that they are foaming at the mouth, really shows you have little to say to defend your hypocracy....

Funny how someting being on the front page of a newspaper suddenly removes merit or worth...so basically what you are saying is that because it isn't interesting to you then it shouldn't be interesting to anyone because You say so?? nice.

also quote me as to when I EVER said the main paper in boston was the Herald?? sure the Herald as less circulation than the globe, but fact is it is still a news paper for the Massachusetts area residents...come back when you have a leg to stand on, and no it is nothing like the post as it is not a conservative leaning paper.

really then why did you put so much effort into your threads/posts on Bush and his military service record....gotta love the hypocracy, obviouly you do have some vested interest as you spent so much time dwelling on the past.....

 

[conjur]

You can't separate the distinction, can you?

I don't care if Bush did or didn't go AWOL in the 70s. What matters is the secrecy with which they are operating. The records are here, they release some records; oh, sorry, more records were destroyed; Oh wait, we found the records we thought were destroyed.

Just let the records out in the open. Admit it if he did skip time. At least the issue will be put to rest.

I'm tired of the secrecy and deception of this administration.

Correction: I'm tired of the secrecy and deception of this Regime.

If it was an Administration there would not be an issue of secrecy and deception.

You're seriously misled if you think that this 'Regime' is the only one that hides behind secrecy and deception. I'm not the type of person who typically pulls out the 'Clinton' regime as a good grounds for any argument, but I think it's a good example in this case.
