BUFF FASTER, SHE CHIRPED:

TENDERFOOT KERRY (Prowler, 8/10/04, The American Spectator)

Just who wears the pants -- and carries the cash -- in the Kerry family became embarrassingly clear over the weekend, when, while shopping in Albuquerque, John Kerry had to let wife Teresa cover the cost of jewelry he wanted to buy for her.

Terry Kerry pulled out the $125 necessary for her hubby to buy her a turquoise necklace. While the Senator seemed perturbed at the situation, the missus acted like this was business as usual, chirpily thanking the mature woman behind the counter in Spanish: "Muchas gracias, abuelita." ("Thank you very much, grandmother.") The candidate, on the other hand, gave a half-hearted wave and walked out of the shop.

You should hear the tongue-lashing you get when you have to borrow the money for their pumice stones...
