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'...

Didn't CNN say just a few days ago that they had been too hard on Dean's yeeeeeeeehhhaaaaaawwww speech? What did they know and when did they know it?

Would Judy Woodruff please send her dental records to FR so that they can be checked out?

[TomGuy]

Ut O. Pat Buchannan smells an opening to move in and take over the Democrat Party and ruin it like he did the Reform Party.

lol

[utahagen]

"Low boiling point" is an understatement. Theresa is a nut and she hates her husband, so Kerry's toast if this story breaks.

[GeronL]

I caught up at about 1,011

[GraniteStateConservative]

It's too bad, really. I'll miss Chris' Schwarzenegger impressions. They were damn good.

[Rutles4Ever]

Bingo! Arkancide.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

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.!!

Agreed. We might be heading for a truly authentic moment in American politics. Seriously, she is rich and odd enough to say/do anything.

[Trust but Verify]

I'd bet it's one of those two (Dean or Edwards) they would have the most to gain, now that Weaselly Clark is out.

[JFC]

What did she know. and when did she know it?
AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[marktuoni]

Kerry wasn't GETTING Botox injections, he was GIVING hot beef injections

I could have sworn that I heard that somewhere before!

[Peach]

We start every day with prayers for our soldiers.

I was so afraid on 9/11 and my husband was gone all day. When he returned he reminded me about how brilliant our military is and how brave our soldiers are. It calmed me immediately.

You guys are the BEST!!! Godspeed.

[GOPCajunLady]

If the woman fled the country, this could explain Kerry's oft-stated claim to feel strong ties to "those who serve overseas."

LOLOLOLOLOL!!! :D

[mike1sg]

Happy Valentines Day to you too Dear, Love ya and miss you very much.

[Peach]

Hi, Carolinamom...

They don't show the briefing on FNC unless it's controversial. Should be controversial enough for them to cover it tomorrow. Hah!

[Cboldt]

Kerry cheating on his wife is old news

Cheating on his wife THEN is old news. But, if he was cheating as recently as a couple months ago, and had the woman moved out of the US, well, that's different.

The media reaction is the only one that makes a difference. The voting public easily follows the media lead. The media is waiting for marching orders.

[Peach]

Drudge says this is the reason Dean didn't drop out after Wisconsin...

[epluribus_2]

"I know more about this issue of Infidelity than most politicians and commit to ending this scourge on helpless women...." at Hill's upcoming presser.

[floriduh voter]

IMO, Clark was a shill for Hill all along. The Clintons told him what to say, where to run and when to drop out and when to drop the Kerry bombshell. Wes Clark, Shill of the Week.

[Pikamax]

bttt for me, this is great great stuff.

[GeronL]

Apparently this affair ended weeks ago... during this campaign!!

Amazing.

I am out of here until later tonight.... I bet this thread will hit 3 or 4 thousand posts by then!!
