OUT OF AFRICA: KERRY PREPARE RESPONSE TO MEDIA PROBE OF RELATIONSHIP

**Exclusive**

Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry is planning a response to a DRUDGE REPORT exclusive which first revealed the frantic behind-the-scenes drama surrounding a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry!

The nature and details of a claimed two-year relationship, beginning in the Spring of 2001, between a young woman and Kerry is at the center of serious investigations at several media outlets.

After being approached by a top news producer, the woman fled to Africa, where she remains, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Unlike the Monica Lewinsky drama, which first played out publicly in this space, with audio tapes, cigar and a dress, the Kerry situation has posed a challange to reporters investigating the claims.

"There is no lawsuit testimony this time [like Clinton with Paula Jones]," a top source said Thursday night. "It is hard to prove."

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.

Kerry is scheduled to appear on IMUS IN THE MORNING on Friday. Later he is scheduled to join General Wesley Clark, who, in an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue."

Reporters who witnessed Clark making the stunning comments marvel at the General's reluctance to later confirm they were spoken -- only to later endorse Kerry for the nomination!

No doubt they'll give kerry the softest landing when they do "break the story." Probably couch it in an introduction about:

...how every normal, non-sexually repressed president like kennedy, clintoon, etc. has had affairs...how affairs are no big deal, especially in the culturally progressive 21st Century...how presidents and presidential contenders are entitled to privacy in their personal lives...how philandering -- even with an intern -- is a private matter that does not reflect on a person's professional capabilities...how kerry's mistress was a perfectly grown woman over the age of 18 who consented to the affair and knew what she was doing...

Unfortunately, we know the drill all too well.

[Just mythoughts]

Yes.... What the....?

[oldtimer]

These allegations have slick and hilliary written all over them.

They have been leaked by rat operatives, probably led by the Hilliary/Clark Team.

LOL that's Ok. If I would change my name on FR the Republicans wouldn't know who to kick. All the fun would go out of my life. Don't want that.

[Hand em their arse]

Ya know, I've had a major problem over the last few years of hearing "Oh, I'm African-American or I'm Pakistani-American or Mexican-American" I don't know, call me critical but how about putting the country that you longed for being part of and allowed you to immigrate here FIRST!!!

American-African
American-Pakistani
American-Mexican

If that's asking too much, LEAVE!!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

They leak their info and cut the candidates off at the legs one by one.

And it is physically impossible to cut Hillary off at the legs. I mean, theoretically, if an infinite number of lumberjacks had an infinite number of chainsaws, it might be possible. The smart money, however, is on the monkeys typing The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.

[Ron in Acreage]

He will probably cancel his Imus appearance. I wonder if it's Heinz's maid? One of the "domestics" or "help".

[Beck_isright]

It was us. We did it. We're all evil. Plus I'm sure that they hate our "fashion sense" also. Demorats are so picky.

[mewzilla]

I note that Kerry is alleged to have hooked up with this particular chick in 2001 and it lasted two years...A honey trap?

[Starboard]

Frankly, if the affair is over you need an explanation of why this is a problem that disqualifies him from office.

So serious character flaws in the person who occupies the highest office in the land are not a problem with you?

[Lancey Howard]

That is the funniest post I've seen in weeks.

[Redcoat LI]

If Kerry was smart ,he would have had Teddy drive her to the airport.
This whole scandal would be "dead in the water",so to speak.

[cyncooper]

Please tell me it's not Niger.

I'm kidding, but wouldn't that be a hoot?

I just said the following in a FReep mail:

I quit watching just about everything else in the morning. If Imus is on vaction, I go into withdrawal. I like him because he doesn't take me for an idiot and knows that most of his audience gets it's news from other sources. When he does remotes at other cities, better than 90% of those who show up to see him are conservatives. I don't get the angst towards him on FR. Bernard McQuirk and Charles McCord are self proclaimed conservatives. Imus just knows talent and wants to entertain.

2001 Spring Interns

[McGavin999]

Oh please, we're talking the democrat primary here, they give extra points for cheating on your wife. There will probably be twice the turnout.

Personally, I don't want to see the dems saved like this. Kerry has so much baggage that he'd be a perfect punching bag for Dubya.

I LOVE the fact that the dems are the ones who outed this one. Who knows, maybe Kerry did it himself. Remember Theresa said she would use her money if the campaign got ugly and personal......well.....maybe he just figured out a way to unlock Theresa's first husbands money.

[swampfox98]

but he was sure puckering up

Well I'd guess that the Clintons got to him. He was always a duffus. All the Democrat candidates, with the exception of Gephardt, are scrapping below the bottom of the barrel. Course I don't agree with Gep, but at least he isn't a full blown idiot.

[uvular]

I noticed that date too, an alleged 2 year affair that began in the Spring of 2001. Meaning it ended sometime around the spring of 2003.

Now just when did Kerry decide for sure hew was going to run for president and did that have any bearing on the alleged affair ending?

[mewzilla]

Was she a Senate intern or a press intern?
