"Tax cuts are fun to do. It's great to cut taxes, but it's not free," said Sen. John Breaux, D-Louisiana. "We've got to find a way to pay for them. The offsets that we have in this bill have already been used...I mean these offsets are as rare as a fat chicken running around Baghdad."

TALK ABOUT A LOOSE CANNON The Reliable Source By Lloyd Grove Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, May 6, 2003; Page C03 The Ungaggable Teresa Heinz Fabulously wealthy Teresa Heinz, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, dishes an earful to writer Lisa DePaulo in the upcoming issue of Elle magazine -- such as her ambivalence about taking her second husband's surname and her requirement of a prenuptial agreement with the 59-year-old Massachusetts senator, whom she wed in 1995. "Now, politically, it's going to be Teresa Heinz Kerry, but I don't give a [bleep], you know?" explains the 64-year-old Heinz, who generally uses the surname of the late senator John Heinz (R-Pa.), who was killed in a 1991 plane crash. "There are other things to worry about." Including: • Her tendency to fidget, glower or interrupt, instead of simply gaze, when her husband gives a speech. "They think I should always be looking adoringly at him," she sighs. • Her financial arrangement with Kerry:"Everybody has a prenup. You have to have a prenup. You've got to have a prenup. You could be as generous or as sensitive as you want. But you have to have a prenup." • Her regular Botox treatments: "In fact I need another one. Soon." As for cosmetic surgery, "when I need it, I'll get it." She confides that she'd like to fix her nose, which has gotten "bulbier" with age. • Her views on marital fidelity: "I don't think I could have coped so well" with a mate's philandering as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has. "I used to say to my husband, my late husband, 'If you ever get something I'll maim you. Not kill you, just maim you.' And we'd laugh, laugh, laugh." Heinz adds that she has never had any reason to suspect either of her husbands. "Not for one day, because what I expect of them, they have a right to expect of me. Maybe I'm into 18-year-olds." At which Heinz's campaign handler, former political journalist Chris Black, cautioned bleakly: "That was a joke." washingtonpost.com
