I don't see any reason to doubt its authenticity, nor can I find really anything about the picture that screams scandal. Teresa Hines is seen drinking beer. So?

She looks kind of tipsy in this photo as well, even though she's only drinking bottled water. I believe her appearance has more to do with how the image was composed.

Yeah, but in the first photo, she is holding up alchahol, posing, and her glasses are cocked and her shirt is wrinkled, the second picture looks like she got caught at a bad moment

she doesn't look tanked to me at all. i think you are reading too much into the picture just because she is holding up her beer to the camera. also, teresa heinz-kerry was sort of notorious during that campaign for being brash, outspoken, and generally not what most people think of when they think, "first lady." she was quoted in magazines using swear words, (vanity fair, i think but feel free to correct me, it's been a loonnng time since i read about her) and she seems to generally be sort of a 'free spirit.' so i wouldn't be too surprised if she was a little drunk. and even if she is, who cares? she's an adult, and she's not the one running for office.

There is absolutely no way to establish her sobriety from that picture. But, what would be the concern really? Are we eager to keep the White House free of anyone who may have been drunk, or appeared to have been drunk, in their life? If so... this should be of concern to you.

In the first photo, her head is cocked not the glasses. And the material of the shirt is flimsy and looks like it is supposed to be "wrinkled". Looks like she is toasting the photographer.
quote:Originally posted by Turban Man: Yeah, but in the first photo, she is holding up alchahol,. . . posing,
People often pose when their picture is being taken. Even sober people.
Would the photo bother you less if she were trying to hide the beer?
quote: and her glasses are cocked
No, they aren't. Her head is cocked. And the fact that one's glasses are crooked says nothing about one's level of intoxication.
quote:and her shirt is wrinkled,
The shirt doesn't look wrinkled to me. There may be a few slight creases, probably attributable to the fact that she's been riding on that bus in the background. And again, what do wrinkles on a shirt prove about one's level of intoxication?

I don't see why anyone would question whether this is real. What's the big deal?
With respect to campaigning, I've been to numerous political events and I can assure you that sobriety is not the norm.

Aside from the fact that you have no evidence she's drunk in that picture, let alone "drunken," she's not the first lady.
ETA: My bad. Apparently the word is spelled "drunkn."

That's better than "President Bush".
Yeah, there's never been a first lady with a substance abuse problem.

To be nitpicky, her last name is spelled Heinz.

Much more concise than the Heinz-Kerry it used to be until her husband lost the election.

Actually, I believe it was Teresa Heinz Kerry. No hyphen. And I've never understood why she should have had to change it.

It could be vodka that she poured into a water bottle.
btw, it looks like she's leaning in for a drunk kiss and the other woman is like "OK, nice meeting you but get away from me now, rummy."
