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

The Drudge Report ^ | 2/12/04 | Matt Drudge

I have listened to Imus from time to time, and I agree he gives wimp-ass interviews -- NEVER covers controversial issues exxept in a corny, try-to-be-humorous fashion. This is unfortunate, because he has some great guests on his show -- (which is probably why..). Anyway, is this moron (and that vacuous deviant Stern) all that passes for talk radio in New York? If so, it's no surprise the Liberal infestation has reached critical mass there.

Somewhere I read that she was a newsperson? (Don't quote me on that.) I suspect if there is one, there will be more. What's TerrrACEuhh to do?

She was always smiling and talking to everyone nicely

Ask the people on Beacon Hill and in Nantucket if she is still that nice person. She is not.

[Treeless Branch]

Having lived in both the North and South, this picture proves Treeless' one immutable law: people from the North, especially Mass., are so much uglier than Southerners.

[ladyjane]

the Heinz wench will not tolerate this.

Wrong. She will.

[LaGrone]

"Out of Africa" or outed in Africa. More burning Rat flesh coming up. Ya gotta love it!

[The Wizard]

O'Reilly flat out stated he wasn't going to mention the rumors on the web...

[Howlin]

I feel exactly the same way. And did you EVER think you'd sit around and have Robert Reich explain to you what YOU should think about the Vietnam War???? Amazing. Let's test what we saw, since I don't know what you saw:

How many Democrats did you see trying to make the link that Bush lied about his DUI, he lied about his NG service, he lied about WMD, etc., so he cannot be trusted -- and "this election is about trust"......and it's about national security and who can you believe?".......and of course, the words "war hero" three million times!

Am I even close?

[AndyTheBear]

If the Clintons are behind this, Kerry has no chance.

Seems a lot FR folks are giving the Clintons too much credit. They are not infallible super-human jedi-knight ninjas of political wizardry. They have failed as many times as they have succeeded.

[Iwo Jima]

I showed the "intern" picture to a friend of mine who is an Aggie who got a Harvard MBA. I said that I thought that all of the women were plain to ugly. He said that by Boston standards these women were knockouts and that of course compared to Texas women they were dogs.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Would you have made the same argument regarding WJC?

[MinuteGal]

Since talking head shows are run by producers, the hosts really have to follow the topics given to them and avoid the topics the producers don't want seen or heard that evening.

It's my opinion that even the most liberal hosts tonight were dying to discuss the Kerry story. Even liberal hosts are news junkies like we are and love a hot topic to opine on. They must have been busting at the seams.

It's the producers and network bosses that held things off tonight, not the commentators. All hosts were gagged. Rush said today that after Drudge broke the Monica scandal, it was four days before the mainstream media uttered a word about it. We're seeing the same thing now. Rush said it may be four days again, or more, or less.

Some in the media elite have to have time to figure out how to cover the fact they've been sitting on this story for over a week, almost two, as a matter of fact. Were they protecting Kerry?

Rush gave other reasons for the media blackout, including a more minor fact that some networks are just jealous of Drudge and would rather commit hari-kari than repeat the story he posted on his web site right away.

What I was trying to get across in my post above was the goofy feeling I got tonight with the TV heads knowing about the potential scandal, me knowing about the scandal, a lot of the country knowing about the scandal, and yet....it was the story that dared not breath its name all evening long.

I guess we can agree to disagree. She comes from a much different upbringing than the Hildabeast...time soon shall tell.

[RLimbTsno08]

I visited the DU for a quick laugh. The mood is somber over there! :)

[okie01]

"Do we know WHERE in Africa? That could add some intrigue to the mix!"

"Theresa Ketchup Kerry is African. Maybe she has some safe houses there."

John Effin' Kerry's eminent foreign affairs advisor also has some connections on the dark continent. Perhaps the lady is drinking sweet mint tea, with her minder(s).

[HRoarke]

I'm tempted to go every once in a while but it is SCARY over there. I don't agree with everyone at FR but you never get the sense that people here are crazy.

Speaking of which, I just saw a new (to me) moveon.org commercial with Bush talking and a lie detector shown on the screen responding. Is the sum total of the Dem's campaign going to be to yell "Bush Lied!" as a response to every topic?

[freedom1st]

It would be great if you emailed this to Bernard at Imus.

[bornintexas]

You could mail the whole kit and caboodle to Imaidiot and he would not ask or do anything to "upset" Kerry. He's an idiot that just follows the DNC talking points for the day.

[spokeshave]

"Do we even know for sure that Kerry's concubine is an American? Wouldn't it be fun if it was one of Teresa's relatives?"

Daughter from a previous marrage...enquiring minds seek to know......
