Teresa Heinz Kerry Flip-Flops

Candidate John Kerry has been rightfully accused of being on both sides of every issue and it apparently is contagious. His wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, has been found to display the same behavior. According to this report,

Teresa Heinz Kerry, years before becoming a Democrat, railed against the party's "putrid" politics, said she didn't trust Sen. Edward M. Kennedy 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.

Now, years hence, she campaigns with Ted Kennedy and says she has a good relationship with him. The "perfect bastard" has become a good guy. She seems to have the ability to love or hate a person based entirely on the political party she belongs to. She also seems to be able to switch political parties based entirely on who wooed her on a dinner date. The superficiality of her behavioral preferences indicates that she doesn't possess any core character traits.

Most interesting about the story, though, is the statement by Marla Romash, a senior adviser to Teresa Heinz Kerry. Referring to Heinz Kerry statements made years ago, Romash said that the "quotes' age makes them irrelevant." Based upon her superlative logic, we shouldn't be quoting William Shakespeare, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Will Rogers, Mark Twain, and many others because their quotes would be irrelevant.

To paraphrase Marie Antoinette, "Let Romash eat cake!" I think that's relevant.
