Well, to be fair, her comments may have some merit. OTOH, I think people from that community may be giving what they can afford. If Heinz is serious, she should donate a few of her own millions for the relief effort. And if she is really serious, she should stock up her private jet with water and generators and fly them in.

I sorta think she's right about this. Food and water are *really* important, and you'd be surprised how little clothing you actually need when it's that hot and humid.
Sending clothing and other stuff right now would just impose extra work on people who are trying really hard to get enough to eat and drink, and (speaking as someone who lost power for eight days from Hurricane Charley), power is a lot more important than a change of clothing.

Count me among the "she's right" crowd on this one. You can live, in a warm enough environment, quite a long time without clean clothes; maybe eight to ten days without water, perhaps less if you're drinking it fouled.
Now, her delivery could use some work... ok, a lot of work.

Water and food are more important. Also a good point about clogging up the delivery channels. However, "wearing dirty clothes for a few days" would have been an innocuous enough a statement that it never would have been reported.
She's simply not used to being followed by reporters and having every word recorded.
All that being said, this is just far too easy to use to make her look like an idiot.

How ridiculous. As much as food, warmth and shelter are vital for human survival, clothing is vital for human dignity. I'd hate to have to walk down the street with a Big Mac and a coke in the 90 degree heat while being fully naked. I'll take the clothing and do a few days of fasting instead.

Vicky - Obviously you have no idea what happens in a massive natural disaster like this, especially in a third world country. You can go days without food, but won't last very long in the heat without water. To put it plainly, without water, you die.
To add to the problem, when infrastructure gets destroyed, what water there is becomes contaminated with sewage and that means cholera and dysentery.
And it won't be going without water for a few days either, 90% of the housing in Greneda was damaged. I'm guessing the damage to infrastructure was nearly that high, so it could be weeks before there is safe drinking water everywhere.
If you have a need to send someone clothes, I think there may be a few semi-naked statues in D.C. that Ashcroft hasn't covered up yet, set the clothes to him.

Given that John Kerry wants to be our second black president ( yes he actually said that) the people of color in this photo don't look all that comfortable with the Missus.
The Kerry campaign is tone deaf and desperate. A photo op of Teresa's Gulf Stream being loaded with water and generators would have been useful, this is so staged and phony that it's painful.
You have to admit that four years of Teresa in the WH would be very entertaining, except for the Kerry as President part.

Bouyed by her comments, the volunteers began making water.
Later, over a bowl of Wendy's chili at her favorite spot, she confided that she knew of a lucky hat and tropical weight leather flight jacket she could donate "in the near future".

No, just a gut reaction. Its completely irrational. That's basically why I asked. In fact I really have no problem with most stuff the press has reported her saying. I can't figure out why I don't like her. It sorta bothers me.
She's ethnic african? I thought she was hispanic and born in mozambique. Either way I like most hispanics and africans.

She's ethnically Portuguese, but claims to be African-American because she immigrated to America from Africa.
She's inadvertently illustrating the idiocy of the "African-American" label.
