"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Heinz Kerry Visits Hurricane Aid Center

NEW YORK (AP) -- Teresa Heinz Kerry, encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials like water and electric generators.

"Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. "Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes."

Okay, perhaps their priorities are a little cart-before-the-horse, but can Ter-Ay-zah possibly say anything without sounding absolutely foolish? I mean, it's great that she can speek umpteen languages, but she can't seem to actually say anything without sounding stupid.

On Healthcare: If Kerry is elected, Heinz Kerry predicted that opponents of his health care plan would be voted out of office. "Only an idiot wouldn't like this," she said.

On Disaster Victims: "Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids."

For someone as intelligent as she keeps reminding us that she is, she sure says some stupid stuff.
