She sure can. But, I think she cannot until the campaign is over. I think she is limited to donation amounts. He cannot freely use her money. Interestingly, I think almost all of her money is in a trust.

That woman could demand anything, anywhere, anytime. She inherited $500 million in hard cash and control of the Heinz endowment (worth billions!!).

I'll never forget when she said Santorum was "Forrest Gump with an attitude."

Actually, I am pretty sure that according to campaign finance law, Kerry can only use use half of the assets they "share" towards his campaign.

Theresa Kerry got $500 million of the Heinz fortune. However, she would have had to put his name on that and other holdings before Kerry announced his candidacy. She did not do that (smart girl ) They do, however, each own 1/2 of the Louisburg Square townhouse, which I think he recently mortgaged his 1/2 of for $850,000.

So, Theresa Kerry legally can contribute a whopping $2000 to his campaign.

I think that after the campaign is over she can get rid of his debt. But, I am unsure of that.

Some more reasons I love Teresa Heinz:

-That off-the-cuff speech she gave about her husbands prostate surgery. She gave plenty details and told every man to "check themselves." It must've lasted 20 minutes!

-She gave a lecture on the health benefits of green tea at a fundraiser.

-She rambled about her favorite sunscreen at another.

-She told Elle Magazine that she uses Botox and that she'll have plastic surgery sometime soon.

-She claimed she would "maim" John if he ever cheated on her!

-She said everyone she knows has a pre-nup.

-She bitched about a fire hydrant in front of her house and wanted it removed so she could have a place to park.

-And the best of all: when asked about adding Kerry to her name, she replied:

"Now, politically, it's going to be Teresa Heinz Kerry, but I don't give a ****, you know? There are other things to worry about."

I think the Kerry campaing is making a HUGE mistake by not utilizing her more. She'd be a star.

Here is an interesting comment on the TH money. The article is not very nice to her, but I think the stuff about the campaign contributions is true.

Is it just me, or does green tea taste like grass?

I think it's just you.

Strandie--

That was a good article. Not really an article as much as a commentary, though. But I enjoyed it.

Although with mint and ginseng or echinacea, it ain't bad.

But give me some herbal lemon tea. That's the ticket.

I like just regular Lipton with Sweet and Low and lots of lemons I do like, however, the herbal passionfruit teas.

I also LOVE Diet Coke!!!!!!!!

Basically, with that and booze (hey - I'm from New Orleans originally ) and occasional cigarette, I am one big walking toxin!!!

Boy, you's gonna die!

I only drink plain green tea or no tea at all. I don't add any sugar to anything I eat or drink, either.

The only soda I drink is the all natural soda that sells at Bread & Circus; none of that carbonated piss water (commonly known as Coke).

I don't suck on cancer sticks, I won't go near alcohol, and I should live to be 156.

I rarely drink Coke anymore. Usually I drink water or Seltzer now. I've also cut back on Coke. Trying very hard to get into green tea. But no am I drinking it without sugar. I'll vote for Kerry before I do that!
