Yet, if the Clintons are behind this, why are we only seeing in on Drudge when they have the Clinton News Network and the alphabets at their beck and call? And why is their hand picked boy, Clark, now endorsing Kerry? I guess I'm just not smart enough to contemplate the inner workings of dirty politics.

Because they want it to be perceived as a right wing attack. That's why it's better for Foxnews to let someone else report it first.

it sounds like we should be very cautious about this, it could be a setup. at best, if its only an affair and nothing else, I don't think it has legs at all. we should realize the number of US marriages then end in divorce, mostly due to adultery. unless the woman is MUCH younger, or there is another angle to the story, some kind of coverup, its not going anywhere. Kerry's post vietnam behavior, his bad record on support for the military and national security, should be a much bigger story then whether he had an affair.

Drudge always has positioned himself as a reporter who covers the reporters. Drudge prints stories that read, "Newsweek is working on...", rather than publishing the story directly. By doing so, Drudge has given himself the freedom to (legitimately) publish rumors. CNN is very biased, but they do hold themselves out to be "journalists", which means CNN has to appear as if everything they publish has been carefully vetted. Drudge, on the other hand, is without journalistic pretences, so he'll run with some stories before CNN will.
