Alleged Kerry Affair with Intern Draws Media Attention

A source at one of the major television networks told Talon News that they are specifically forbidden to talk about this story on the air until one of the other major television networks reports on it first.

Oh, no that's good. So if all of the major networks take this line, then no one reports it?

[shhrubbery!]

Yes, but Drudge needs some more info, or this is going nowhere in the mainstream. This is looking like a disinfo setup by someone.

Well if it's a set-up by anyone, it'd have to be by Gen. Ashley Wilkes Clark.

Or by the people behind him.

Oh, gross. Thanks for that image.

' Drudge better have some facts and quicko, or he's dead on the water '


The same way Woodward and Bernstein 'found facts' about President Nixon. The media gave them a pass on needing verification, Their story is currently in the history books, without any corroboration.

Meanwhile the great newspapers of the world are running these corroborated and undeniable facts, while the US media is too busy camapigning against Bush, running 'new' low confidence polls and AWOL allegations, I've not seen such a partisan media in my lifetime, its irresponsible and sickening.

The media is currently giving the biggest pass ever to Kerry, Drudge didn't leak the story General Clark did, this is a democrat infight.

There is no excuse for the US Media's sitting on this story while running the AWOL allegations against Pres. Bush.

We all have a valuable lesson to learn here, the media cannot print negative unvetted stories, unless their about GOP Presidents.

I just heard the first hint from MSNBC on this story.

Here's how it was framed:

The blond anchor had a male reporter on the phone that has been with the Kerry campaign, and she asked him if the Senator was ready to face an onslaught he is sure to face now that he's in the lead.

The reporter said the campaign told him that Kerry has prepared himself for an attack from the republicans and he's faced them throughout his career and they don't scare him.

Of course, since they didn't address the story directly they didn't discuss (not that they necessarily would) that it was dem operatives and Clark passing the story around, and they didn't refer to what kind of "onslaught", but that was the first hint I heard from them.

Be ready: That's the tack. I saw on Imus they all agreed the Clintons were behind the story. Thank goodness they saw that right up front.

I guess the fact that Kerry is still alive shows that he is innocent of infidelity, since Mrs. Ketchup would have killed him if he had had any affairs. End of story.

The Democrats' campaign of vitriol against Bush has been virtually non-stop since he became a candidate in 1999 (with a very brief pause after 9-11)...probably the most intense and prolonged hatefest any President has faced since Abraham Lincoln, and more of the same seems to be their strategy for the 2004 election. Therefore they need to make the public think the Republicans are just as bad or worse in this regard...this story could be the "evidence" they need (despite the fact that it was Democrats who leaked it).

If it turns out that there was no affair with this particular intern, it can help inoculate Kerry against stories of other women with whom he really did have affairs...and the Democrats can use the Alex Polier story as "proof" of Republican dirty tricks.

[Your Nightmare]

What exactly is the press suppose to report? Are there any real facts to this story? I honestly find Drudge's style of "reporting" much more disgusting that the "lamestream press."

"Some political observers are already speculating that this latest turmoil in the Democrat presidential race is laying the groundwork for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) to become the nominee in a brokered Democrat convention in Boston this summer"


THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE STORY.

[eno_]

Last week, the Boston Herald's Inside Track had a story on a recent National Enquirer investigation into Kerry's "eye for Hollywood honeys" including Fairchild, Michele Philips, and Catherine Oxenberg. The Herald added that Fairchild and Philips were so disgusted by Kerry that they decided to give political contributions to other candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination instead of the Massachusetts senator.

I heard from someone in an Olde Money and Very Connected family that Kerry has many many grab-ass problems. The story he told me was that a young woman intern who was had also worked as a fashion model for top-tier designers was also "disgusted" and - get this - thought Kerry was retarded. Yes. A blonde runway model thought John F-ing Kerry was STUPID, in addition to being boorish. Laughed my ass off.

He'll get it. This is just the start.

It's hard to imagine that within about 3 years of the Lewinsky scandal, a high-profile Democrat would have an affair with an intern

These people are 100% convinced the rules do not apply to them. They breathe more of their own gas than any other human beings. There isn't anything they think they can't get away with.

[per loin]

Nope. She talked about maiming her husband if he brought home a venereal disease.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

When asked about the investigation on Thursday, Jack Stokes, a spokesman for the AP, told the Editor & Publisher, "We simply don't comment on stories we are pursuing or not pursuing."

"Unless, of course, it supports our agenda of placing anti-American socialists and deviants in positions of power", Stokes added.

One of our many genius Freepers should get a photo-shot of the movie "Dirty Old Men" and paste Kerry's, Clinton's and Ted Kennedy's faces on it.

[Contra]

This may have already been used and if it has, forgive me, but you know how Clinton said "better put some ice on that?" Kerry can say "better put some ketchup on that."

[smiley]

You are absolutely correct.
