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'...

[evets]

Thread title on D.U. - "Drudge *Breaking* Kerry Cheated On His Wife" (this topic his locked) BWAAhaha!

[floriduh voter]

She looks even younger and more naive than Monica if that's possible. "Let me be your Father Figure" George Michael song

[NYC Republican]

Apparently, the rumor is spreading like wildfire in parts of Texas... Note, I'm placing my FR crdibility on the line here, and wouldn't mention this unless I felt the source was reliable...

[SunnyUsa]

Remember, Sean Hannity said he had something real good on Kerry to put in his new book. Said he would be toast. If this was the stuff then Sean's book might be toast.

hmmmmm I'm not sure if this kind of story is Sean's style - but maybe you're right - I'm going to listen too. Rush is having alot of fun w/this story today! lol

[VANHALEN2002]

"Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned." This is the key. Was she threatened? Did he pay her off? Will the mainstream media ask these questions of John Kerry?

[New Horizon]

Like Kerry, Kristin has a horse face. Kerry in drag?

LOL. I don't know if this is the Kerry girl or not...I'm going off of another thread that was pulled since the photo wouldn't download.

Here's a couple more...FWIW. Sorry they're so big!

[AmericanInTokyo]

FINALLY, some more DOMESTIC US MEDIA MOVEMENT ON THIS:

ABC news radio in D.C. (AM dial) at the bottom of the hour and internet streaming, just now, has been EXPANDING their news of this KERRY SCANDAL story. The report was fast, but I believe it referenced Al Gore in the story, too (I believe with respect to why he eventually did not want to endorse Kerry).

It is STILL the number one story on the ABC local affiliate. They say the story is envigorating the campaigns of other Dems who were seen as slipping. It called the scandal 'Clinton-like', and said the report was the woman was 'out of the country'. Just thought Freepers should hear.

[petercooper]

Yikes!

[CyberAnt]

Do you think that might be what prompted Kerry to get rid of him ..??

[NYC Republican]

No link, just a couple of phone calls from people who are very close to it... I'm hoping someone proves it wrong.

[roses of sharon]

Exactly, IF they report this it will sound this way:

Big smile and chuckle:

"Well, you can tell the political season has begun! Today Senator John Kerry, Dem front-runner, war hero, and beating Bush in the polls, had to squash rumors of infidelity".

(sound bite from Kerry)

"And all week, Bush, has been on the defensive over AWOL charges and lying about WMD".

(sound bite from dentist that doesn't remember Bush from 30 years ago)

"It will be an interesting year".

[admiralsn]

LOL- would make a good bumper sticker, or tag line.

[SunnyUsa]

SHOCKING RUMOR!!! Texas Gov having affair with TX Sec of State (Male), will resign in 2 weeks... Not a joke unfortunately....

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa????!!!????

[DCPatriot]

LOL! You can't make this sh*t up!

Maybe she's a hand model?

Give up access to $600 Million for that????

[over3Owithabrain]

Nothing personal, but you shouldn't be posting this wild rumor on this particular thread. The focus here is one the Dem's sexual problems, you come across as a "they all do it" poster when you dredge some unfounded claim like this and hijack the thread. You're better than that.

[treeclimber]

Anyone smell 900 FBI files here?

NE:"Even after he was married, a gorgeous 22-year old blonde was spotted leaving his Boston townhouse in 1998, while his wife was in Nantucket...
