No, managing it after his death does.

John Kerry has been in the Senate for 19 years.

Kerry has been the lead sponsor of eight bills that have become law. Two are related to his work on the Senate panel on oceans and fisheries - a 1994 law to protect marine mammals from being taken during commercial fishing and a 1991 measure for the National Sea Grant College Program Act, which finances marine research.
In 1999, President Clinton signed his bill providing grants to support small businesses owned by women.
The rest of the laws he saw passed were ceremonial - renaming a federal building, designating Vietnam Veterans Memorial 10th Anniversary Day, National POW/MIA Recognition Day and World Population Awareness Week in two separate years.

So, you don't support Kerry because he cares about the environment, and wants to protect marine mammals?

You lost me with this post? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, or anything.

Yep, sounds like she's left it all for other folks to tend to while she puts her feet up and eats bon-bons all day.

I wrote this elsewhere but it probably best belongs here: It ticks me off when women say that other women should be less aggressive, less ambitious, less expressively smart than they are by nature. Teresa Heinz Kerry is a bohemian philanthropist intellectual by nature. Laura Bush is a quiet mild librarian by nature, more classically and stereotypically "feminine." Why do we vilify Kerry for not being that way? Why do we fault her for standing up for herself with some pushy reporter? If a man had told him to "shove it," wouldn't we be sitting her thinking, that reporter probably deserved it?

Don't we tell our daughters that they can achieve anything, have it all, live internationally, attract and marry men who are rich in both intellectual and physical assets, raise fantastic kids (have you all seen Chris Heinz?), become philanthropists, and speak with confidence in front of forty million people? So what is it, exactly, that we don't like about Teresa Heinz Kerry?

Women are women's worst enemies. Men never do this to each other. It makes me crazy to see it.

OMG, dc... AMEN!!!!!!

It NAUSEATES me that women are held in a different light than men in so many ways. Strong women have been villified forEVER and I'm sure will continue to be.

BTW, I would've said a LOT worse than "shove it" to that reporter. It's amazing that in 2004 this is making so much press.

Who said that. I am aggressive, ambitious, etc., but you can still handle yourself in a tactful manner. Nothing wrong with manners and tact for both men and women.

You may indeed be very aggressive and ambitious, but we must be defining tactful a different way. I'm not sure if I'd consider some of your posts in defense of pro-life views "tactful." I'm pretty confident that you'd tell a pro-choicer who was in your face to shove off in the name of religion. You're impassioned, I respect that, just as Heinz Kerry is, but I wouldn't put too much of a premium on tactful.

Heinz Kerry put her shoulder to the wheel, as the Mormons would say. The education, the travel, the surviving widowhood with grace, the child rearing, the backing her husband in the political run of his life.

Actually DC, I would not tell a pro-choice person to shove it, and most definetly not in the name of religion. What does that accomplish? I know this is off topic but when it comes to pro-life/pro-choice matters I believe in love and compassion, not hatred. I am sorry that you interpreted my views diffferently, because that is not my intent and not my belief.

when you're finished rolling your eyes, read your own post, no where does it say she runs the heinz family business, she merely spends the money in a positive way..{she became chairman of The Howard Heinz Endowment and the Heinz Family Philanthropies}

I'm sorry, it is not not clear to me what you are trying to say. I took BedKnobbery's post to be saying : Look...look how much work this woman does. Are you saying she does nothing but spend money?

I believe she was replying to my comment that she inherited the money , she did not run the business...

I never questioned how much she does, I said other people run the heinz family business...

 

[bsears]

Thank you for explaining. I believe she owns less than 5% of the business, so it is highly unlikely she would be running it.

Yes, I tell my daughters they can achieve anything , Have it all, etc... but to say that Laura is sterotypically feminine and Teresa is ambitious and stands up for her self... can't you be ambitious and aggressive and not sound like a "truck driver"? I think teaching them that they can have it all and still act like a "lady" is important too. I don't think being feminine is a negative thing. I would hope that being aggressive/ ambitious and feminine is something we would want women to be.

Well, feminism, the unfairness of the double standard, and everything else aside, when your husband's running for President you don't want to be seen as someone who can't necessarily control herself.

It may not be logical, it may not be fair, it may noy be right, but it is reality.

I think her reaction opened her up for more of the same from the press...if the media thinks they can get her to react, they're going to do their best to "push her buttons".

I agree...and forget the double standard..if/when Hillary runs for President, I'm quite sure that if Bill says anything similar it will make big press, and Hillary will tell him to shut up and not hurt her campaign...
