pdq,

I wasn't trying to blame John Heinz after he was dead. I think John Heinz was a good man, and he was in fact my Senator at the time of his death. I was pointing out that Theresa's main political contacts at that time were Republican, and Lay was a major figure among Republican donors. Remember, nobody knew he was a crook at that time, Heinz included.

My larger point is, if you believe you can't blame the deceased John Heinz for something Theresa did, why do you blame John Kerry for something Theresa did when he was not yet married to her? Sounds like a big double standard to me.

Also, go ahead and prove to me that John Kerry and Ken Lay dined together frequently. I am not willing to take Jeffrey St. Clair's word for this, so let's get to the evidence. Where is it, pdq?

Finally, you seem to be blaming Kerry for something Jimmy Hoffa said as well. Is there an audio tape of Kerry telling Jimmy Hoffa that there will be drilling in environmentally sensitive areas? If not, why assume Kerry is the liar rather than Hoffa?

BTW, almost all Environmental groups funnel a large portion of their donated funds to Democrats.

What do you mean by a "large portion?" How about "Almost all?" Like the claim about Lay and Kerry dining "frequently," this is vague and devoid of evidence.

Even if it IS true, do you wonder why? (Hint: Maybe it's because Democrats have a much better record on the environment!)

Sorry, pdq, St. Clair's accusations still won't wash!
