Latr we found out this was a renactment. The MSM never asks him the simple question: "Wasn't that a reenactment and why would you mislead voters?". Then there was his claim that he was in Cambodia on a mission in Christmas, 1968 when he heard President Nixon on the radio saying that the US was not in Cambodia. One problem with that: Nixon did not become president until Jan. 20, 1969. Maybe Kerry wanted to blame only a Republican president for VietNam and not President Johnson, a Democrat. But nobody has ever found a speech by even Johnson in 1968 saying "we are not in Cambodia". More likely, Kerry just told a whopper of a lie and he can't get out of it.

Correction. All of Ragman’s examples clearly show how Heinz-Kerry continues to “benefit from the Heinz fortune.”

And the referenced “Snopes” entry, in itself, is a rather silly defense of Kerry’s 2004 hypocrisy regarding his stance on offshore outsourcing:

Thirdly, the Snopes entry fails to discuss whether the Heinz Corporation outsources any other types of jobs offshore besides food manufacturing.

Further study of this silly Snopes entry reveals that one of its sources (a one Karl Schoenberger) seems to share similar positions on issues as the Kerry ‘04 Campaign, with titles like:

How to Snitch for Your Country: The Orwellian war on terror

Axis of Evil: Forcing North Korea into a dangerous corner

The New Battle of Okinawa
US bases are choking Okinawa and facing local ire

Distracted by Iraq: Bush ignores the mess in North Korea

Asia’s New Democracies: Built from within, unlike Iraq

In my opinion, Heinz-Kerry doesn’t only continue to receive benefit from the Heinz fortune, she would be a nobody without it. Likewise, Kerry wouldn’t have been the 2004 democrat nominee without it.
