Yahoo! News - Heinz Seeks to Disavow Kerry Connection

Heh:

The company has received about 150 calls this month from consumers vowing to boycott Heinz products, or in some instances to buy more, said company spokeswoman Debbie Foster.

Yep, it's a cheap shot. No fair-minded person would say that this has anything to do with John Kerry's politics. But it just sounds so right...
