Mrs. Bush to Teresa Heinz Kerry: Don't Wear Blue

[Khephra]

BURBANK, Calif. (Reuters) - Appearing once again on the late-night TV circuit, Laura Bush had an important message for Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of her husband's political foe -- the first lady will be wearing blue when they next meet.

Recalling the big fashion faux pas of last week's presidential debate, when she and Mrs. Kerry both wore white, Mrs. Bush told Jay Leno during her guest spot on NBC's ``The Tonight Show'' that she and Mrs. Kerry probably have ``a lot in common.''

``We even chose to wear the same color suits (at last Thursday's debate),'' she said. ``So now I just want to announce today that I'll be wearing a blue suit Friday night.''

She added of Sen. John Kerry's spouse: ``I really do feel like we're members of a club. We're the only ones who know how it feels to have a husband running for president in 2004. I'm sure we have a lot to talk about.''
