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'...

Hillary Clinton....White courtesy phone...

Boortz: The investigation is underway at Time, Washington Post, etc.

Says that Clark told reporters that an intern story would come out in the next few days about Kerry.

[Lee'sGhost]

"I am telling you, Kerry is their man no matter what. "

Not if Hitlary gets involved. I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that with Dubya looking weak this could be her time.

"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.."

Well..isn't that special. When it's a democrat who has been accused of something, the media actually investigates the charge BEFORE they make any allegations. Can you say Bush AWOL?

[rintense]

I think the difference between Dean and Edwards is HUGE. The far leftists will view Edwards as wuss boy centrist, and the Edwards supporters will view Dean as a loon. Edwards will attract the centrist, blue dog Dems, while Dean will get the wacko leftist rah rah crowd.

[manic4organic]

"If Hillary runs, no one will ever be able to accuse her of having an affair."

Well, not with a man anyway.

[beaversmom]

Maybe Hillary will run for Prez and have Theresa as her running mate.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Another stained dress! Is it Blue?

[mabelkitty]

I'm pissed.

I spend a great deal of time digging up dirt on Kerry and his past, and it was all for naught.

I even found a tidbit where Kerry took Heinz to the Vietnam Wall the night they met. Isn't he a cheese-dog?

[steveyp]

As much a whackjob as Terezza is, I'd probably skip town to simply avoid her! The press would be a piece of cake!

[MinuteGal]

This is so delicious. If things go right we can follow the Freeper 2000 "Count the Silverware Inaugural Ball" with a 2004 "Count the Interns Inaugural Ball".

Leni

[Rutles4Ever]

I'm guessing she had a prenup, based on previous comments she's made regarding infidelity. She'll walk in a heartbeat.

[afropick]

Can you imagine what would have happened in 92 if we had drudge, FR, full strength talk radio and the internet?

[areafiftyone]

ROFLMAO - John Kerry wanted to be like JFK sooo much now he is finally made it he is just like JFK!!! Clark was right John Kerry is going to implode!!!

[floriduh voter]

I'm glad I'm already on this because late-comers don't stand a chance. This is the thread to be on. This thread rocks - or we'll have a big let down. But, we can count on a new dem scream by mid-next week. I love those.

[SaveTheChief]

...but we are still early enough in the process that the party still has options to dump a "damaged" candidate.

Perhaps, but if they are going to do so, they need to do it now. We will see in the next few primaries.

[RobFromGa]

I wonder why Clark dropped out if he knew this was coming, is he going to get back in now and wanted the Drama of the rebirth?

[eureka!]

Re#494 Ain't that the case. The best part is that the presstitutes will run with it. Big Time. They love scandal and will sell out the Rat party for ad revenue....

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The Dems will look so bad to the Independent voters, they are typicly short on memory, but this will remind them how corrupt the DUmocRATS are.

[LisaMalia]

Yes, that's what I meant. I posted on and read through the thread.
