Ever since the Drudge Report and the non denial denial on Imus, a funny thing appears to have happened......The aways visible Mrs. Ketchup is MIA......Always on the stage, on the plane, on the bus, and visible, (though strangely silent on TV, could it be that foreign accent that might turn off the people who won't want a 1st lady with an accent from another country) even last night in victory, no ketchup.......They say she went to Europe.....was it for a divorce?

SO FAR unscathed by rumours of a two-year-long affair with a 24-year-old journalist, the United States senator John Kerry could be just 24 hours away from sealing victory for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. His crushing victories in the Nevada and Washington DC caucuses on Saturday, have tightened his grip on the nomination. Tomorrow’s primary in Wisconsin may be the last realistic chance Senator John Edwards and Howard Dean have of stopping his march to victory. It is likely that only a major crisis or embarrassment can now prevent Mr Kerry from winning the right to challenge George Bush this...

THE beauty said to have had a fling with presidential hopeful John Kerry has recorded a bombshell tell-all interview. Journalist Alex Polier taped a talk with a US TV network at Christmas. The former Washington intern, 27, told all about an alleged fling with the 60-year-old super-rich senator in spring 2001. The channel is sitting on the tape until it has enough evidence to back her story. If the sex claims are true, they would shatter his White House hopes. Kerry, a married dad of two, has denied the fling. But Alex told pals she fled to Kenya on his...

BRING IT ON Feb 14 2004 Kerry: I'm not worried about claims of affair From Anthony Harwood, US Editor PRESIDENTAL hopeful John Kerry yesterday rubbished claims he had an affair with an intern - and vowed to "fight back" against smears. And he accused the Bush campaign of doing "anything" it could to deflect from the president's poor showing in the polls. Kerry, 60, was accused on a right-wing website of a relationship with journalist Alex Polier. NOTHING TO HIDE: Kerry There is no evidence they had an affair but her father, Terry, 56, has branded Kerry, dubbed the new...

Site opens Documenting John Kerry

Dear Eric, As usual, I really enjoyed last night's (2/14) program. However, I believe that there is an important media issue that could have been covered by your panel, but was not. It is apparent that the mainstream media, by and large, are reluctant to report about the allegations that John Kerry has committed adultery. Mr. Kerry went on the Don Imus radio program and "denied" these allegations (I won't get into parsing his "there's nothing to report" response) and yet this gets very little coverage outside of the non-supermarket tabloids and the British press. To their credit, CNN's Capital...

Full marks to the mainstream media for refusing to report even a single word of the scurrilous gossip going around about John Kerry’s love-life. They’re not even reporting that Matt Drudge is reporting it, which is the usual way which these ugly rumors get into circulation by the back door. It reminds me of the CBS producers at the Superbowl who refused to turn their cameras, even with discreet editing, on a streaker — so automatically removing the incentive for anyone else who might be tempted to try the same thing. But just as it would have been expecting too...

SHE has the perkiness of a cheerleader and the ambition of a Hollywood starlet, but it's hard to believe Alexandra Polier ever had an affair with US Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry. For one thing, at the time my former journalism school classmate was supposed to be sharing intimate moments with the senator, she was working up to 80 hours a week on student assignments and dating one of our classmates. If she had time to manage an affair as well, that would have made her one hell of an overachiever. The former Associated Press reporter, a 27-year-old brunette, made...

John Kerry wins Democratic caucuses in Nevada, District of Columbia. Nothing further. I can go back to sleep now.

Wisconsin Democrats are having a dinner tonight. John Fonda Kerry, Edwards and Dennis Martian Kucinich will speak. Russ Feingold blabbering now.

'This won't go away. What happened is much nastier than is being reported' By Adrian Blomfeld in Nairobi and Andrew Alderson (Filed: 15/02/2004) Alex Polier, the twenty-four year old journalist who could end Senator John Kerry's hopes of becoming the next president of the United States is alleged to have had a two-year affair with the front-runner for the Democratic nomination. Last night the rumours were in danger of becoming a full-blown scandal. "This is not going to go away," one American friend of Miss Polier said yesterday. "What actually happened is much nastier than is being reported." The allegations...

GERALD WARNER DUBYA has a fight on his hands: he is now about to experience an election, instead of a coronation. Well, he has been there before and, pace the hanging-chad lynch mob, he came out the winner. Complacency would be fatal to his hopes, but that should not blind us to the pedestrian realities behind the phenomenon of John Forbes Kerry. The fact that a consensus candidate seems to have emerged in the Democratic camp months earlier than expected - and that it is not Howard Dean - has given a spurious air of impetus to the American...

Ted Sampley, a businessman from Kinston, N.C., operates a Web site that features attacks on Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, for his anti-war activities after his military service in Vietnam. But Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., may be more upset than the targeted Democratic presidential front-runner, according to the New York Times. McCain, also a Vietnam veteran and former POW, came to the defense of Kerry on Friday, calling Sampley "one of the most despicable people I have ever had the misfortune to encounter." Among other things, the Web site, www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnkerry.com, features the now infamous photo of Kerry at a rally, sitting...

There are two "scandals" in American politics at the moment: the first features George W Bush and whether he was a "deserter", as Michael Moore, Hollywood's celebrated Leftie lardbutt, puts it. This goes back three decades to when Mr Bush was a young pilot in the Texas Air National Guard, the so-called "weekend warriors". By desertion, Moore and co mean that there were a lot of weekends when the warrior didn't show up. Terry McAuliffe, the highest-ranking official of the Democratic Party, prefers the term "Awol". He doesn't offer any evidence to support the accusation. But, if you switch on...

A global media scrum descended on the Chester County suburb of Malvern yesterday because of a furor over a rumored romantic link between a 1995 Great Valley High School grad and presidential hopeful John Kerry. Despite the frenzy, little information was forthcoming yesterday, and there was no confirmation of any relationship between Kerry and the woman. Several news trucks and assorted gawkers loitered outside the home of the parents of 27-year-old Alexandra Polier after her dad was quoted in a British tabloid that Kerry was "a sleazeball" who'd shown an interest in his daughter. Polier, who was a cross-country star...

Campaign Carl was just asked by Bob Sellers about the "internet Rumors" and Carl said that there are a lot of rumors floating around, and while he woulldn't say what it was, he said that one woman has written the Kerry campaign and said it wasn't her, and then Carl said Kerry gave a hard denial, and knowing that if there was any truth to the story after such a hard denial, he'd be taost, (my word)

Kerry Dismissing Drudge Report Allegations Julie Shelton Democratic frontrunner John Kerry is dismissing a Drudge Report suggesting that he had an unspecified relationship with a former A-P reporter who's now left the country. The report was quoted in articles in some British papers. Kerry was asked about the allegations on the Don Imus radio show. Imus said, "If there's anything that's going to come up. For example on this Druge Report about an intern. I'm sure you've heard about it. People are talking about it." Kerry responded, "Well, there's nothing to report and nothing to talk about it. No, I'm...

Day after day, the media and the Democrats were raising questions about whether George W. Bush had gone AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard three decades ago. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan labeled the charges "gutter politics" and "trolling for trash." Bush tried to ignore them. Bush loyalists dismissed them as old news discounted long ago. Finally, the White House released a massive stack of documents outlining the record of Bush's military service but leaving basic questions still unanswered. Critics, hoping to find scandal, pressed for more. "The charges are false," sighed a frustrated senior Bush adviser. "But...

Laid off from his job at a computer software company in Philadelphia, Andy Szamody wondered where he would find health coverage. His firm told him it would offer a temporary policy that would cost $212 a month. But "when you're not making any money, that seems like a lot of money," Szamody said. The local unemployment office informed him of other options, but jobless benefits disqualified Szamody for the cheapest, a basic plan that covered doctor visits but not prescriptions for $30 a month. In the end, he opted simply to do without. "I find the whole insurance thing totally...

Caption the Photo-Kerry privately confronts Clark on Clark's Alex Polier-in-Kenya "imploading"-info release. Retired general Wesley Clark Friday went to Wisconsin to endorse Sen. John Kerry, the man who kept beating him in the Democratic presidential race, but not until Clark leaked Kerry's dalliance with a very young woman. These pictures show behind-the-scenes comments from Kerry to Clark maybe even on his very big disappointment of the Polier-leak. Can you imagine what they said?

For those of you interested in the Alex Polier Kenya connection here is a summary (repeating some of the stuff I wrote yesterday and adding waht little new info there is): Alex Polier was, as of 5pm Kenya time, hiding out in Nairobi. She and her fiance, Yaron (sp) Schwartzman were staying at the home of his parents Joseph and Hannah. The London Evening Standard reported last night that she was already in the UK. They were wrong, although there is a possibility she may have flown later on last night -- but I think it is more likely she...

Sen. John Kerry flatly denied swirling rumors about an extramarital affair yesterday, assuring backers that his campaign was not vulnerable to a sudden sex scandal. "I just deny it categorically. It's rumor. It's untrue. Period," Kerry told reporters in Wisconsin. "It's not true." After denying the report, Kerry added, "And that's the last time I intend to." Earlier, on the Don Imus radio show, Kerry was asked whether Democratic supporters should worry that his front-running campaign could be derailed by a Clinton-style scandal. "The answer is no," Kerry said. "I've been pretty well vetted and examined from one side to...

Another campaign aide said: 'We have just heard about it and we are trying to work out how to deal with it.' Matt...

Alleged Kerry Intern Scandal Sparks Clinton Endorsement BREAKING... (2004-02-12) -- A story on the Drudge Report, suggesting a scandal is about to break involving presidential candidate John F. Kerry and an intern, has inspired former President Bill Clinton to offer his eagerly-sought endorsement to the junior Senator from Massachusetts. "Whether the Drudge story is true or not," said Mr. Clinton, "I finally see a candidate with whom I can identify. I was withholding my endorsement until I found a candidate who would resonate with mainstream Democrats the way I did. John F. Kerry is the man."

According to news reports across the Internet and in various international publications, Democratic Presidential front-runner John Kerry may have had an extramarital affair with a 22-year old blonde intern. As first reported by the Drudge Report on Thursday, a full-scale investigation into this is underway at Time Magazine, ABC News, the Washington Post, the Hill, and the Associated Press. But the real story today may be the lack of coverage by the major American news media. According to a story published today in MensNewsDaily.com, "A source at one of the major television networks (said) that they are specifically forbidden to...

Just heard Matt Drudge live on Hannity's radio show. He said the mainstream will be running the Kerry intern story tomorrow. Apparently a videotape exists of the girl being questioned before she was shipped overseas. He said the Clark comment about Kerry "imploding over an intern issue" was made to "'A' reporters (as opposed to B-teamers) and that hearing the General deny he said it tomorrow in USA Today will be laughable. The Clark team's response is all over the place. Dean's people are pushing the story hard behind the scenes. Sounded pretty confident that there was more to the...

Answer: Having mastered domestic affairs, the presidential candidate wanted to work on his foreign affairs. But seriously folks, I have two big concerns about the latest allegations against the junior senator from Massachusetts: During the Clinton administration we defined morality down. We got used to making excuses for our leaders. We got sick of hearing about their peccadilloes. We collectively decided standards that had served us pretty well for thousands of years were no longer...

(CNSNews.com) - A report alleging a "bimbo eruption" in the John F. Kerry campaign was Topic A on conservative talk radio programs Thursday, but the story was nowhere to be found in the mainstream press. The Drudge Report first reported that major media outlets were "seriously investigating" rumors of a "relationship" between Kerry and a young woman who supposedly fled the country at Kerry's urging. Several foreign newspapers picked up reports of the allegations, which were not even mentioned by most American news outlets. As of Friday morning, The Drudge Report said the Kerry campaign was "planning a response" to...

Vietnam war hero John Kerry today faced a new threat to his runaway US presidential campaign, as the internet site which broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal claimed the senator was preparing a response to claims he had asked a woman close to his campaign to leave the country. In a week that has seen actress Jane Fonda hit back today at conservatives who released a blurry 1970 picture of her with Senator Kerry at an anti-Vietnam war rally, the Drudge Report reported that General Wesley Clark told reporters in an off-the-record conversation last week: "Kerry will implode over an intern...

WASHINGTON: A gathering intern scandal may torpedo Democratic frontrunner John Kerry's Presidential bid. Political circles are aflame with reports of an impending bombshell after the rightwing website Drudge Report , which broke the Monica Lewinsky story, first reported it on Thursday. According to sketchy accounts on Drudge , Kerry is being investigated by several media outlets over a two-year relationship with a young mystery woman starting spring of 2001. The woman, who worked for an international news agency, is said to have left for Africa at Kerry's behest after the rumours of the affair surfaced, and she was approached by...

Damn. It happened again. The moment it became clear that the presumptive Democratic nominee was eminently beatable, something happened to bring the guy down. I am referring, of course, to John F. Kerry’s latest apparent effort to emulate his initial-sharer and hero. Just as the whole “Bush AWOL” story had reached its culmination point, and just as people were beginning to focus on Kerry’s treasonous post-Vietnam behavior, this had to happen. Let’s review the story, because it’s already becoming cluttered and confused. Various internet pundits appear to be taking two different stories about possible affairs (several years apart) and fusing...

KERRY UP AT 7:30! They are laughing and joking, but Imus walked in late and his mike was off as it started with the news about Kerry's alleged affair with a 26 year old from Penssylvania. Imus seemed pissed - complaining that his mike was off and told them to stop talking about it. But they couldn't. Then they just cut to a picture of Kerry while they played Clinton's "I did not have sexual realtions with that woman" overdub. Imus's guys complaining that the mainstream news media's silence is very loud.
