In a rather snappish comment below, Lukas from Optimus Crime said:
"Adam, I had to laugh that your rare nod of agreement with Naomi Wolf comes when she makes a wild, regressive generalization about women and implies that female voters care less about substantive issues than seeing Laura Bush in flattering "jewel tones", or when she uncritically describes Teresa Heinz-Kerry's power and independence as a liability. Lukas"
I think I can deduce from this -- but not with certainty -- that Lukas is implying that Ms. Heinz-Kerry is not a liability to the Kerry campaign.
Uh, think again:
Democratic election advisers have ordered Teresa Heinz Kerry to adopt a lower profile in the final stages of the campaign by her husband, Senator John Kerry, for the White House because they fear that she may be alienating voters.
Mrs Heinz Kerry, who as the heiress to the Heinz fortune is one of the world's richest women, has been told to keep out of the spotlight because her outspoken and unpredictable manner is regarded as an electoral liability.
