There is some serious cowardice going on here about John Kerry's seat.

134. Source please - even the DKos diary simply said he had other stocks

In fact, "Kerry's" stocks that are referred to include his wife's assets. Their assets have come up in the past and his office has always responded the same way. In addition, they do not buy or sell stocks. The stocks listed are the stocks in the Heinz family trust, of which Teresa is a beneficiary, but not a trustee and has nothing to do with the management of those accounts. John kerry is a beneficiary of the Forbes and the Winthrop trusts - something he and his siblings inherited when their mom died. Again, he is one of many beneficiaries and has no input or control over their stocks.

Instead, defend Rice on this. She may have a similar situation or she may own funds that hold the stocks among other stocks. She may be willing to put them in a blind trust.
