John Kerry to strike back at "infidelity"-coverage, will appear on Imus-Show

Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry is set to strike back at the "infidelity"-coverage by "Drudge Report" joining Don Imus on his Friday morning talk show.

"Drudge Report" had first broken the news of intense US media investigation into the two-year relationship of Kerry and a young woman, which is said they had since Spring 2001. The woman is said to remain at an undisclosed location in Africa.

"Kerry could try telling the truth and letting the chips fall where they may. This didn't help."

Bingo. I hope his AIM (I refuse to download that crap on my computer) blows up with Lewinsky references. I've heard harder hitting interviews from the 'E' network.

[Consort]

Imus, like Maher and Arianna, is a political whore.

[mewzilla]

Here's what I would fault Imus for: If he accepted conditions for Kerry's appearance and didn't disclose that to his audience, I'd darn well fault Imus for that

[leadpenny]

I'll say it again. If this story has legs, Kerry is on the record denying it. Patience.

[The Wizard]

You can watch Chuck and Bernie just say, right to Imus...It's clear they hate Imus, but he pays them

[Judith Anne]

Master of the non-denial, "Nothing to report."

After all, they can't hang you for what you didn't say...(my guess)

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

What I think is funny is that we're not the source of this. Kerry better keep looking over his shoulder at his own party.

[mewzilla]

Or even a general denial. Heck, how many denials does he need?

[OXENinFLA]

This just is another vast right wing conspiracy, move along folks.

That's the thing, this didn't come from the right it came FROM THE LEFT.

We know that but the mindless masses will eat up the left's denial.

[leadpenny]

You're assuming there were conditions. I don't think he does that.

[Beck_isright]

"What would you have done?"

Maybe ask a follow up question like: So is this girl in Africa and did she work for your campaign ever?

Man, everyone is getting soft.

[Lynne]

I think it's wrong to focus on this. Like I said yesterday, it just deflects the talk away from Vietnam. I still think it was "allowed" to come out to deflect the train that was coming.

[Beck_isright]

We're not the source. But of course we'll get blamed. That was just pathetic.

[mewzilla]

If Imus made a deal, he needs to dislose it. If there was a gentleman's agreement (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) that Imus wouldn't go hard, well, folks should not tune if they're expecting anything else.

The 24 year old intern's name is Alex Polier ...

First time I've read that name mentioned. An intern (in the office) affair would be a bigger deal than an affair with an outsider, such as the model. WHo is reporting the intern's name, and connecting it with indiscretion by Kerry?

[beckysueb]

I can't believe Imas said hes not a liar. Of course hes a liar!

[Solson]

Alex Polier is the AP writer. I believe the intern is a different one, a 22 yr old Georgetown grad...

[mewzilla]

He didn't deny it. That was a non-denial denial in the most classic sense of the term. Not even a modifed, limited hang-out.

[demkicker]

The media needs to be reminded that blaming the VRWC came back to bite them in the arse last time. This story has Clinton fingerprints all over it, not the GOP's.
