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'...

She's not cute, but to Lurch, I'll buy it.

[LongsforReagan]

Yikes.

[spectre]

Teresa Heinz has been quoted saying that if she were Hillary she "would have shot Bill".

Hummm?

The photo wouldn't completely download...but enough of it came down to get the name.

[ChevyZ28]

I think John Kerry is trying his best to look and act like Clinton. There are some similarities between those two. Clinton was unfaithful numerous times to Hilary, and Kerry has been unfaithful at least once to his wife. I am willing to bet where there is one infidelity there will be more. All we need now is for Kerry to be accused of smoking marijuana but not inhaling, and for Kerry to shake his finger at a camera lense and disavow any infidelities to his wife.

OK THIS PROVES WITHOUT A DOUT THAT KERRY IS A DEMOCRAT! :)

[Terry Mross]

clark endorsed Kerry because he just now figured out that he was used.

[NYC Republican]

Didn't mean to give that impression... Just really smells of Dem tricks... If the Kerry story is going to get out, might as well do it ahead of another (TX) story, which will overshadow it, creating immunity for Kerry down the road...

This will be the last post on this topic... hopefully my sources (I sound like Rita Cosby!) will be mistaken...

[Beck_isright]

"Anyone smell 900 FBI files here?"

More like 900 - 1 = 899. That one file is with Lehane.

[SunnyUsa]

you've got to be kidding me?! What a fool kerry is.... lol

[mlbford2]

I live in Houston and I have not heard of it. You know TX though, STEERS AND QUEERS.

[mlbford2]

She looks like a female Freddy Kruger. Who knows how to post a split image? I'm not that savvy.

[GigaDittos]

Come on, she can't be the BOMBSHELL!!

[treeclimber]

I think we will be seeing "surprises" about Clinton adversaries for years to come. Lehane is a Clintonite (to quote my favorite Wyomingite) "BIG TIME!!"

[NYC Republican]

clark endorsed Kerry because he just now figured out that he was used.

Clark's a strange enigma to me. First he's put in there to do Clinton's dirty work, then he supports someone the Clinton's may have tried to destroy... Go figure...

[SaveTheChief]

For God's Sake NO, we are not "forgetting". Some of us can analyze in more than simplistic terms.

Hey babe, thanks for the low blow there. Feel free to insult my intelligence the next time I might post something you disagree with instead of choosing to debate me on an intellectual level. I don't claim to know everything about anything and am only posting my own thoughts. Now I know that was a mistake. Thanks to people like you, society is safe from simpletons like me.

"We" was meant to be an all-inclusive word referring to our morally inept society and not necessarily to individuals who have their minds and brains focused on the big picture. But again, thanks for applying that simpleton label to me. At least that let me know a little something about you.

[admiralsn]

I haven't heard this AT ALL. I know some people who know Perry and his wife and kids very well- this would be a major shock. I cannot believe that it'd be true.

[JFC]

this ias not true at all. just trying to take attention ocf of Kerry

[yonif]

This is Kerry's woman in question?

[LongsforReagan]

She sure is handsome looking.
