Heinz denies that beans means bucks for Kerry campaign
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/03/31/wus31.xml&sSheet=/portal/2004/03/31/ixportal.html&secureRefresh=true&_requestid=55511

Heinz began a campaign yesterday to distance itself from Senator John Kerry amid concern that the high profile of his wife, the heiress to the ketchup fortune, may be bad for business.

The company contacted some of America's leading radio and television talk shows to try to quash rumours suggesting that revenue from sales would aid the campaign of President George W Bush's Democratic challenger.

The focus of the rumours is Sen Kerry's colourful wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.

The company has been deluged with e-mails and phone calls from customers, mainly Republicans, vowing to boycott Heinz products. Some Democrats have written in offering to buy more.

2. Well...
I won't buy any other kind of ketchup. Heinz is the best! :)

It's not surprising this has become an issue, of course. I'm sure they're scared shitless that crazy Republicans are going to boycott their products. What can you do, they're stupid.
