WOW ... I think the Wash. Times published this about Teresa thinking it was a negative (maybe?) ... but I love what the people say down in the body of the article -- many are looking forward to Teresa's spirited, take-no-shit ways coming in the White House. You go, Mama T!

Polite society anticipates Teresa's pizazz

... Is mainstream America ready for Teresa Heinz Kerry, a woman who radio host Don Imus wonders might be "too crazy to be first lady"? "Well, they better be," said Betty Ford's former press secretary Sheila Weidenfeld. "I think she's going to be controversial, which is good. That's because she'll speak up."

... "She knows people in all walks of life," said Time magazine photographer Diana Walker, one of Mrs. Kerry's closest friends. "She knows where the brains are." "What we're hungry for," said former Clinton administration official Ann Pincus, "is someone who's engaged." The Bushes have been virtually incognito for the last four years. Harpers Bazaar recently referred to the first lady's style as "Marian the Librarian." []b]"Nobody's been to The White House," added Mrs. Pincus. "You don't know about them. There's no buzz." The president is a teetotaler and Laura Bush "doesn't even do lunches. It's like, 'Hello, is this 1958?' "

... Described as "with it" by people she knows, Mrs. Kerry's
sophisticated social circle is in stark contrast to Mrs. Bush's down-home Texas ways. Her politics are also starkly different. Mrs. Kerry is pro-choice and pro-homosexual rights.

... Over the past decade, through the Heinz Endowments, she donated $8.1 million to the liberal nonprofit Tides Center, making hefty donations to the Three Rivers Community Foundation, which funds the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Pittsburgh. Marian Wright Edelman, Hillary Clinton's mentor and head of the Children's Defense Fund, has also been a recipient of Mrs. Kerry's largesse. ...

3. Exactly! A rabidly anti-Teresa poster at another

board posted the link. I LOVED the article. Doesnt read negative to me at all.
:D

4. Well, the beginning is a bit negative, but then, to US, it's great from

there on.

Of course ... to Washington Times readers, Marian Wright Edelman and Hillary Clinton are just code words for "Beelzebub."
