Today, Osama Bin Laden was captured hiding out in the basement of the Kerry household. Found with Osama was 200 pounds of Anthrax and envolopes addressed to senior members of the republican leadership.

I remember a FReeper saying that there will be some bombshell to deflate Kerry just before the primaries are over.

but the primaries are hardly over. Just started really.

...and Teresa publicly accepts the apology, embraces him and calls on America to stand with him . . . ?

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.

This from the person with half a billion in her pocket, lots of pride, her own friends and her own career, no political ambition, the woman who told him not to run?

Riiiiiight.

[Amore]

Oh boy, this is great! Everyone will have to watch all the late night comedians tonight.

It was my brother who just called and told me about the Druge Report, but you guys are already up to 700+ replies. On the ball as always!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The Media HAS to run with this! They spent so much time and energy trying to bring the President down over his National Guard service, they cannot appear "BIAS" and ignore something as truly low as this!

That's what viagra was made for...prostate surgery patients...so they can get back in the game.

I think this is more or less for the consumption of right minded centrists who are not heavily invested on either side. Those were the ones who were really fed up with Clinton and voted for Bush. Otherwise Gore should have never lost the election with the present climate in 2000.

[gov_bean_ counter]

So far it has no Republican fingerprints on it.

Probably unrelated, but President Bush did remind Little Timmy Russert that John Kerry wasn't the nominee yet.

Clark is was a decoy trying to water down the field. When Clark got in the race and Bill Clinton said that Clark would be strong at the beginning, I knew Clark was there just to be a distraction and waterdown the field. He was not a serious contender.

[mass55th]

"He cautions that this whole thing could be a smear from someone."

Uh, let me guess who...the Clintons!

[floriduh voter]

bookmarked #404 Edwards Watch. Thanks.

[EllaMinnow]

LoL...Kerry is scheduled to be on Imus tomorrow...

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL

Perhaps, but if they are going to do so, they need to do it now.

Not really. Despite Kerry's impressive string of victories in these early primaries, you have to remember that the delegates are not awarded on a "winner-take-all" basis. I'm not sure if Kerry has even secured 40% of the vote in too many of his "victories" (remember his 30%+ total in Iowa?) -- which means that the losing candidates can still have their delegates support someone other than Kerry. It is very possible (especially in light of this story) that the Democratic "winner" will go into the convention with less than 50% of the delegates needed to secure the nomination.

If I find a readily-available source of information, I'll check to see how many primaries had results in which Kerry's totals were exceeded by a hypothetical candidate named "Edwards + Dean" or something like that.

[mystery-ak]

That's right, he's electable, ya know.

[LongsforReagan]

Kerrys new slogan-

"When a relaxing moment turns into the right moment, will you be ready?"

[Skywarner]

"Let's get real here. A homemade porn tape of Kerry having a three-way with Jane Fonda and Ossama bin Laden could turn up and most Democrats wouldn't care; neither would the mainstream media. Those Kool-aid drinkers only care that Kerry's initials aren't GWB. Nothing else matters to them. This will blow over and leave Kerry untouched.

I hope you're wrong, but I find myself agreeing with you on this. The Dems are so hell-bent to defeat Pres Bush that they'll latch on to anyone who they feel has even a shot of doing so. Where they make their mistake, however, is that they are also playing a role in the long term dissolution of the Democratic Party as a viable entity.

[Rutles4Ever]

Are you kidding? She's got a book to write now! Can't have those lucrative book deals in Congress unless you're a Clinton.

[since1868]

So Hitlery is behind these leaks.

Mrs. Heinz will not give up the chance of being FIRST LADY.

The story has widely been reported that Teresa said "she would certainly kill John if she caught him looking at another woman."

She's rich and flaky enough not to give a damn about being First Lady, and might very well make big trouble for him over this.
