Drudge points out that Teresa Heinz-Kerry is bashing Wal*Mart while at the same time one of her trusts owns more than $1,000,000 of their stock.
UPDATE: This news was actually partially covered in the CSMonitor back on 10/16/03. (Cached version here.) However, at the time it was just JFK doing the Wal*Mart bashing.
Now, it's THK doing the bashing. See this recent LA Times article from the official Kerry site:
"Another thing that drives me crazy, and I hope I don't offend anyone here, is Wal-Mart," she told a group of Democratic women activists at a luncheon in St. Paul last Tuesday. "They destroy communities."
Suggested spin for the Kerry campaign: she's trying to bring down Wal*Mart from deep inside, using the money made on their stock to support bashing them.
