Pennsylvania | "Bush a Cokehead" claims Heinz at Campaign Function

From socialite glitterati magazine Philadelphia, via the New York Post’s Gossip Column :

[Chris] Heinz accused Kerry’s opponents - ‘our enemies’ - of making the race dirty. ‘“We didn’t start out with negative ads calling George Bush a cokehead,” he said, before adding, “I’ll do it now.” Asked later about it, Heinz said, “I have no evidence. He never sold me anything.”

Chris Heinz is Kerry’s stepson, and Theresa Heinz’s son, so a little Over-The-Top partisanship is to be expected.
There’s also this :

“One of the things I’ve noticed is the Israel lobby - the treatment of Israel as the 51st state, sort of a swing state.”

Eeuw.
