Sources tell the National Enquirer that in 1980--two years before Kerry and first wife Julia Thorne announced their separation--John Kerry began an affair that lasted past the marriage breakup. Kerry and Ms. Thorne divorced in 1988.
The woman in question was dating a prominent Boston dermatologist in 1980, but that relationship ended when she started seeing John Kerry romantically.
An insider close to the woman tells the Enquirer, 'There is a reason John Kerry has fought tooth and nail to keep the records of his 1988 divorce sealed. If those divorce records were ever released, I think the public would get tremendous insight into his character--and that is the last thing he wants to see happen.'
The friend of the woman confided, 'Kerry and his lover both had to work long hours and late nights. It was the perfect cover for any cheating husband.' The woman was not married at the time.
When John announced in 1982 that he and Julia were separating, his lover thought that she would become the next Mrs. John Kerry. As a single US Senator, separated from his wife, Kerry dated up a storm and his lover hit the roof!
Kerry's lover dreaded reading the Boston papers every morning and finding out John was on the town with other women. The relationship ended when she could no longer handle the allegations of Kerry's cheating with several women, most notably actress Morgan Fairchild.
Internet reporter Matt Drudge said on June 27 that 'the race is on in political and media circles to guage the import of Kerry's sealed July 25, 1988 divorce from his wife, JuliA Stimson Throne.
The Kerry camapgin called any divorce digging a game of political gutter ball. 'This is a trash hunt..,' says a senior Kerry source, 'I would argue adamantly that the records should remain sealed.'
The former Kerry lover's confidant added, 'John Kerry will do anything in his power to keep his divorce records out of the public eye. If they were to be released before the election, it could cost him the presidency.

This will only be a bonus on any liberals resume. Diversity.
Hillary on the attack!
One can actually trust the Enquirer's accuracy more than the NYT. The Enquirer gets sued all the time, and their lawyers make sure that such stories are true. (Granted, if the source is lying, the Enquirer is off the hook.)
This wont cost him anything. Thanks to Clinton, personal life issues and vice dont (even though they do) relate to his ability in office
This'll push him up in the polls.....
Hillary is not going to wait 12 years to run for the Oval Office..lol! Looks like the FBI files have been opened
Was that his name?...I was thinking it was one of Clinton's attorney's involved, but that name doesn't sound right...I know it's not Bruce Lindsey...
OK .. I'll admit, it's has my attention
Other then that, it sounds like he's trying to be like the real JFK
If Clinton can have oral sex with an intern in the Oval Office, do you really think an affair more than twenty years ago is going to excite anyone except Republicans who arent going to vote for him any how? Come on...get real. The Dems will take it as a badge of honor. Shows them that he understands them because he cheats too.
But kerry is a democrat. Cheating on your spouse or lieing about something as silly as throwing medals over a fence or changing your mind whenever you wish has no bearing on the mans charector or his ability to lead this nation.
Moved to chat?!
This may be from an unconventional source, but it reports substantiated factual allegations about about a presidential candidate.
I don't understand this. In Washington State where I live, divorce records are public. In fact they tell you to be careful what you put in them for that reason.
Is it different in different states or is it just because he is a senator he was able to have them sealed?
Clinton lawyers
David Kendall Kendall is the Clintons' personal lawyer for Whitewater matters. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton successfully pushed for him to be in charge of the Lewinsky case. A Rhodes scholar and Yale law school graduate, Kendall practiced civil rights law before joining the elite Washington, D.C., firm of Williams & Connolly.
In fact, if a dem candidate DIDN"T have major theft, dishonesty or corruption in his past, enough to get an honest man to step down if discovered, he'd have to make it up. Willie concealed his medical records (STDs, impotance, advanced drug addiction and hate tatoos) and his Oxford academic records (brilliant grades in communist theory and application, several rapes, expulsion, cheating, theft and abuse of African students). Kerry won't release his military records, divorce records or medical records. Has anyone asked Edwards what records he won't release?
He was the attorney for the National Enquirer the last I heard......he vet's all article for publication.
This is being put out as bait. When anyone criticizes him, it will be a "mean-spirited attack," and generate sympathy votes from the disengaged.
Advice to all on the right who would comment on the affair: Shut up.
Advice to all on the right who would go after the divorce records: Be careful. The MSM will do a 180 so fast from what they did to and said about Ryan in IL you'll be dizzy.
bump
I think Hillary is ensuring that she will able to run next time for President in 2008. Those 900 FBI files on the most prominent Washington folks still havent been found..
I knew it! Kerry is a M-F-'r!
Being a dimocRat, he will gain points for cheating on his wife. Dims relish that stuff.
Sorry, but this will cost him plenty. And there is more to come. Bill and Hitlery can not allow Kerry to win!! If he wins she will not be able to run for the white house for a very long time.
I'm a bit confused. I thought Kerry had an annulment, or was that not granted so that he had to get a divorce instead?
I'd be more concerned if he were on the prowl now, just as I would be more concerned if Pres. Bush were a practicing alcoholic now as opposed to decades ago.
Whoa! At this time be better to see how this all transpires....Just hope we are not being SET-UP by the DEMONcrats to foster in- fighting
Good point. Any dirt thrown at Kerry between now and Nov. 2 is likely from Hillary's camp. This guy's candidacy was born dead.
Correct. If having an affair on top of the desk in the Oval Office didn't phase anyone, something twenty years old won't.
I'd read that there was some question as to the annulment being granted or the divorce being allowed by the Catholic Church. Unsealing the court papers would probably answer some questions.
I think the one of Kennedys also had a 15 year 'annulment' auhorzied by the Catholic Church, must be a Massachussetts thing.
This appears to be an internet hoax. The only place i can find is this thread.
Not a hoax. It is on the cover of the Enquirer. Click the link.
I think he dated Elvira too,and other stars.
How about posting that link fer me.
Just a matter of time before the NE prints his divorce records.....They'll pay whatever it takes to "get the dirt" ......It's sales will more than pay the price.
Isn't she that creepy Halloween gal? She and Lurch together... seems like a match made in the crypt...
No surprise Kerry would do this kind of thing. Dems will torpedo and screw Kerry and blame Bush for a hatchet job. Then here comes HRC to the rescue.
NY Post had it at the front of th e gossip section Saturday morning.
You forgot about TARAAAZA's financial records.
Jack Ryan had his records unsealed by a judge on the grounds that the he was a public figure and the public had the right to know. The info the Chicago Tribune gound after it was unsealed destroyed Ryan's political career. Kerry's cannot be touched. Media tactics applies to GOP candidates only??? Keep this up and the US will see civil war within my grandchildrens' generation.
Civil divorce, Catholic annulment. Not even a U.S. Senator can get civil authorities to pretend a 12-year marriage with children wasn't consummated.
Morgan Fairchild? I guess she really does do Old Navy.
Bada bing!!
Campaign Drama Rocks Democrats:**World Exclusive**
Kerry Fights Off Media Probe
Of Recent Alleged Infidelity,
Rivals Predict Ruin
Filed By Matt Drudge
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**
A frantic behind-the-scenes drama is unfolding around Sen. John Kerry and his quest to lockup the Democratic nomination for president, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.
A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head!
In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments.]
The Kerry commotion is why Howard Dean has turned increasingly aggressive against Kerry in recent days, and is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision not to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, top campaign sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
