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 sent drudge a thank you message.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Believe me, I'm having a wonderful schadenfreude moment at Kerry's expense. But Rush's comment rubbed me the wrong way.

[Loyalist]

Has Hillary Clinton left it too late to jump into the race? Can she jump into it, realistically, as late as the DNC convention?

[CyberAnt]

"backlash against Republicans"

WHAT ..?? Where do you get that ..??

Apparently, the girl involved with Kerry has a girlfriend who outed the affair; she even has letters. How do you connect that to the repubs ..?? I think you're fishing!

Also .. according to Rush, Bill Clinton called Edwards and told him to stay in the race. Hmmmm?

[Right_in_Virginia]

I'm SOO confused! Why would the Clintons be behind Edwards?

[Mudboy Slim]

"Definitely smell the Clintons behind this."

"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."
"That's exactly what Rush is saying."

Rush has been making this point fer months now...if the RATS retake the White House this November, the HildaBeast would be 68 in 2012. That's too old to be the first woman to win the White House, and the Clintons would never achieve their dream of controlling the Oval Office again.

Y'all could be right...MUD

[RoseofTexas]

Listening to ABC=ALL BULL CRAP, radio news, and NO KERRY report...bastards!

[GOPCajunLady]

Does KETCHUP taste good on CROW ? :D

[arichtaxpayer]

Please explain to my why the Clintons want Edwards in.

[utahagen]

Hilarious post!

[Peach]

Ditto that, Timesink.

My media bias file got so large I had to practically STOP adding to it. Couldn't manage the file anymore. So many examples, so little time.

[Grampa Dave]

Would someone please start thread #2 here. It is starting to drag.

[TheBigB]

Holy Crapola! I'm tempted to go hop in the shower...

Somebody's gotta say it...

THIS IS HUGH!!!!

[Terry Mross]

The hypocracy if the Clintons. Bill gets caught staining an intern's dress in the oval office and "it's just about sex". Then the Clintons turn around and smear Kerry for getting some action on his own time and NOT in the oval office. And the media goes for it! I have to wonder what's in those FBI files on the media moguls!

[altura]

I read the entire Enquirer story (while standing in line at Wal-Mart) ... there's nothing in it, EXCEPT and allegation that in addition to botox, Kerry had a couple of inches of chin removed (to help his bite --ha, ha)

[LisaMalia]

I used to say to my husband, my late husband

Her "late" husband? Hmmmmmmm. Hope he didn't get caught with his hand in the cookie jar....LOL

[mass55th]

Here's my Valentine for the Demoncrats:

[epluribus_2]

Clinton probably had the evidence since he probably gave JFK the details on his overseas bimbo-farm he always used to send his b-eruptions for their exile.

[GOPyouth]

They went with false allegations and called them "fact".

And I agree that the press was stupid in all of that. But the fact remains, they need to get more hard facts before they run a story like this. Drudge has wind of it, but he sure as hell isn't releasing anymore info, and you know he has more.
