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 myself post over there as "Rumguy."

[mrs9x]

Maybe they have pics of Kerry with sheep or young girls....one could only hope...

[StriperSniper]

Kerry has AIDS?

Acquired Intelligence Deficiency Disease? ;-)

[grumple]

Kerry announces he is the "first Black Viet-Nam vet"

[RolandBurnam]

[over3Owithabrain]

Maybe the infamous Kennedy-Dodd "Senator Sandwich" had some Ketchup on it.

[JIM O]

Ok thats the best one yet!

[gobucks]

We all really have no life...........

Awww, now come one. FR is THE life of the 'party'!!

Hillary has decided to enter the race in time for the super Tuesday primaries I wonder if she'd top Kerry in the polls, nationally. She walloped the rest of the field a couple of months ago, but now I'm not so sure.

I'd call that a plausible scenario. She might be looking at the numbers and concluding she could beat W, and that if Kerry does, it's the end of her ambitions. We haven't heard a peep out of Hillary in recent weeks. She could have been keeping her powder dry.

I may not be enough of a geek on this one, but for me there is no need to hit F5, Drudge automatically updates whenever it is open in a browser. Something to do with it being in my favorites list...

Thanks for ruining my opion of the Late Great SDJ.

BTW, a eyewitness has turned up who confirms that Bush did attend his National Guard drills in Alabama. This proves the stories about Bush being AWOL that have been repeated endless for four years has been completely shot down.

The thread about it has gotten 36 replies:

Before Freepers complain about the media, maybe they should look in their own backyard.

over3Owithabrain was the one who first hinted health concerns...Buyt as long as we're guessing given Kerry's history it might not be a bad one

[MamaLucci]

Rofl!

[Semper Paratus]

Maybe the infamous Kennedy-Dodd "Senator Sandwich" had some Ketchup on it.

More likely mayo.

" Sorry Mr. Kerry, I forgot to get my red dress dry cleaned also!"

[hispanarepublicana]

reaches beyond the United States.

Call me cynical and hard, but I've never held it past some Democrat campaign zealot to finance and orchestrate the terrorist attacks on our troops in Iraq.

[MoJo2001]

Hey All!

I wonder if this has something to do with what MEMRI claims that the Kerry campaign sent a letter or email to the Iranian government.

[RolandBurnam]

thats on drudge's end. an open window in drudge will reload every so often if its in favorites or not.

There's more than one photo of Kerry with Hanoi Jane. They can't all be fakes. I have Kerry arrest pictures, protest pictures, you name it - his book cover. THE NEW SOLDIER I think it's called.

I'm putting jpegs on line one at a time for effect. My site is going to do a new Why Kerry Can't Beat President Bush opinion piece until Bush beats him in November. As long as it says "opinion", Kerry can't do much to contain the release of any or all photos. He's part of the public domain and McAwful brought up Bush's NG stuff and creepy Michael Moore's comments.

There are even Kerry-Fonda 2004 bumper stickers, etc. for sale on line. But, I'd recommend the Vietnam Vets Against John Kerry bumper sticker instead.

"As Mr. Kerry contemplates a run for the presidency, people must remember that he has fought harder for Hanoi as an anti-war activist and a senator than he did against the Vietnamese communists while serving in the Navy in Vietnam. MICHAEL BENGE
