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'...

I love the smell of ketchup in the morning!

[Dante3]

LOL! That should do it!

[Republican Red]

Meant DUI story that broke the weekend before the 2000 election. If Rove had the story he would have held it until Kerry has the nomination

[governsleastgovernsbest]

ABC Radio Affiliate in Washington, D.C. broke with the Kerry/Associated Press intern sex and coverup story (very briefly) as the top of the news stories, about 10 minutes ago.

Run for it! She's gettin' ready to blow!!

Just a thought: Kerry's former campaign manager, Jim Jordan, has a wife that either was or still is an AP reporter.

She's the same reporter that tried to Bork Sen. Rick Santorum a year or so ago.

Maybe...?

[Monty22]

Can I have KETCHUP on that TOAST?!?!?!? hahahah

[Peach]

CNN is STILL reporting on the AWOL story. LOL. What idiots.

[hummingbird]

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


Has an update been made on Hillary's Voodoo Kit?!

[Just mythoughts]

Interesting.

[over3Owithabrain]

OMG!! The DU site is hilarious right now! Absolutely awesome. WTF'n did they expect, Kerry rolling up all in W's grill. The man talked smack and now is gonna get beatdown.

[BOBWADE]

FBI FILE? OOPS, SHE ONLY ASKED FOR REPUBLICAN FILES.

[Texas2step]

Now, that's some excellent anaylsis/theory...could be.

[areafiftyone]

Been looking but nothing yet.

[CyberAnt]

I agree because it was Clark who leaked it to the press. How would Clark know ..?? Clark's staff are all Hillary people.

[BJungNan]

Drudge says the Washington Post is working on the story. The Post had the Monica Lewinsky story via Michael Isikoff and sat on it until they got scooped by Drudge. I can't wait to see the Post tomorrow. There will be some heads rolling there for getting scooped by Drudge again!!

Good article on that here. Drudge flashback

[Howlin]

It does give credence to the theory that the Clintons are looking to undercut the DemonRAT candidate this fall so as to open the door wide fer the HildaBeast to run in '08.

But how many times can they do this?

[mystery-ak]

We are going to need a live thread for Chrissy's show tonight...I hope he has gasbag Russert on.

[ovrtaxt]

Ketchup! LOL-- btw, with a name like that, are you a GWAR fan?

[Beck_isright]

CNN is asking for emails to "Wolf@cnn.com"...I wonder if 50,000 of should ask "What about the Druge story on Kerry's intern?".....
