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.

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'm tired of Drudge getting my hopes up with his alerts-usually for nothing......

[kcvl]

Democrats hope to snare Eminem for concert

[Nexus]

Nevermind, the siren's not loading.

[AmishDude]

Gotta a feeling this Drudge making a huge mountain out a tiny mole hill.

From Drudge? Surely you jest.

Pictures found of John Kerry eating HUNT'S Ketchup!!

Kerry: "I did not have culinary relations with that condiment."

[evolved_rage]

I bet its is Hitlery too. There were several reports yesterday, including Susan Estrogen saying Hitlery missed her shot, since win or lose, Edwards will have the the point position in 2008.

[ChuckShick]

"John, I'm your father."

[Hatteras]

It was Kerry that dropped the grenade on Max Cleland!

[Spunky]

But aides stressed that Kerry and Fonda were only acquaintances, and the meeting took place two years before Fonda took a controversial trip behind enemy lines and posed for pictures on a North Vietnam army anti-aircraft gun which prompted her angry detractors to dub her "Hanoi Jane."

Jane Fonda Defends John Kerry

Only acquaintances?

I think it was more, MUCH MORE.

[riri]

That would actually work for me. I think anybody who'd allow toxin to be injected in their face to make their muscles deaden and remove wrinkles is NUTS

Especially when it is a very temporary procedure. And the results are not that drastic.

[Jened]

i think drudge just wants to build suspense and rack up hits from us refreshing every 10 seconds and get a bigger advertising rate :)

[r9etb]

Picture of Kerry found wearing chartruse pinstripe searsucker suit with diving flippers, leather dog collar and tennis racket?

I don't think I want to know how he'd be "wearing" a tennis racket....

[bioprof]

Maybe something to do with his having to "rest" in DC for a few days - health problems - ????

[Just mythoughts]

The only thing DRAMA - gay that would ROCK the dims is if JFKERRY is going to come out against GAY/Marriage.

[kabar]

Or Drudge is hyping the Torricelli flap about the Torch raising money for Kerry. Could just be some inside baseball stuff to keep the Dem base energized for the upcoming primariies.

[OXENinFLA]

Must be something big Drudge has taken down all other stories on his page.

[gobucks]

Ditto - we don't need the stink of Moveon tactics here...

[Alberta's Child]

My guess is that Wesley Clark is going to announce that he wasn't really a Democrat after all -- and now he's endorsing George W. Bush.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Hillary moves in to become VP. for Kerry... then somehow she saves the day and becomes top lady in the white house.

Kerry slips and falls in the shower, breaks his neck, on day 2 of his term?

[over3Owithabrain]

If it truly "rocks" the Democrats, it must have something to do with Kerry, since he is the presumptive nominee.

My guess - his health...
