Update 2:

CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS: KERRY FIGHTS OFF MEDIA PROBE OF RECENT ALLEGED INFIDELITY, RIVALS PREDICT RUIN

**World Exclusive**
**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 and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

MORE

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.

Update 3

FROM CONRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S CRAIG CRAWFORD: 'Drudge item on Kerry intern issue is something Chris Lehane (clark press secy) has shopped around for a long time -- it was one reason the Gore vetters in 2000 shied away from Kerry as a running mate choice -- their conclusion that it wasn't bad enough to disqualify him, except for the fact that they couldn't risk it as they were trying so hard to distance themselves from Clinton's personal failings (note: Lehane worked for Gore at the time -- and briefly advised Kerry during this campaign). The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it'...

Rush going off. Wants to see pay stubs! LOL.

You're as corrupt as Bush, Dean tells Kerry



Edwards , Dean chase Kerry

[Hon]

"I believe I read something earlier in the year about Mrs. Heinz saying that if Lurch ever cheated on her, she would personally give him a gonad-ectomy."

According to one trustworthy source, Teresa said she would "cut off his dick and then she would cut off his allowance."

[adam_az]

Didnt Chris Lehane go over to the Dean camp....?

Maybe he brought his dirty laundry.

[rj45mis]

"Do you feel like I do b/c of the money issue, or b/c Edwards seems to be "Klinton Lite" and will draw out the soccer moms?"

I think Kerry would have been routed by W because he is, in fact, an east coast liberal elitist, and would have lost the south and midwest big time. On the other hand, Edwards doesn't have the experience but does have the southern gentleman style and boyish looks that many women will vote for. I don't think either would beat W, but I'd rather see Kerry on the other side.

[visualops]

and don't forget Deaniac must have gotten wind of it too.

[mike1sg]

Thank you, this is a great place to pass the time, and the best place for me to catch up with me much better half.

Keeping our heads down, Here.

Kerry cheating on his wife is old news

So the real question is .. what's the point of bringing this up

Either to get sympathy ... it's just sex you know .. and the Dem voters could care less about his sex life .. Clinton proved that

Maybe it's to get off the subject of his Fonda days


Or it's a hit piece from the Clinton .. to get Edwards to be the Front runner

[Just mythoughts]

Looks like it will be left to others to demand the JFKerry Vietnam records.

I'm sure they would have broken the story eventually. Mid-November, maybe.

[over3Owithabrain]

Turns out the "band of brothers" is a condom!

[areafiftyone]

They are always blaming Rove/Bush for everything. Now they are scared that this will push the AWOL story out of the press. Poor babies. For months they were trashing Bush with a phony AWOL story - now they have to suffer because this story was brought out by one of their own kind - CLARK and not a Republican. Clark is the one who leaked it to the press not any Republican. Now its out and there is no turning back!

[texasbluebell]

Rush said it! (I just reported it.)

[Carolinamom]

This gets Bush/National Guard off the record. When's the next WH briefing? I want to see those reporters NOW.

[woodyinscc]

From all I have read about Mrs Heinz, she will react completely different then the beast. This is going to get interesting, to say the least.!!

[floriduh voter]

Hitlery with women... Where have you been?

[Diogenesis]

Her Highness: "Use our FBI files on Kerry."

[Neenah]

Hey! Was this Clark's REAL mission? Let the leak out to reporters and then.. Get out!!! THE DAY BEFORE THIS NEWS BREAKS!!!

[mhking]

OK. I've caught up. (whew!)

My take? This is setting the stage for Her Crustiness to enter the race "for the good of the party and the good of the country."

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[ArmstedFragg]

WHy does the name CLINTON pop into my mind?

Apparently those FBI files really DID go all the way to "L" .
