U.S. Newspapers Tread Lightly in Rumor of Kerry Infidelity

The story is being shushed around the family dinner table — and in newspaper city rooms — but all the neighbors are talking about it.

What the neighbors are talking about are rumors of marital infidelity by Democratic White House front-runner John Kerry, and they have learned about them from the Internet, talk radio and the foreign press.

Okay, okay. I got Juanita Broaddrick's name wrong. I said it was off the top of my head. Apologies to Ms. Broaddrick anyway.

Actually I remember it being supersonic Blackbird that was to have taken Bush senior to Europe and then back during the October Surprise or whatever it was called.

I remember that rumors of Clinton raping a woman circulated for some time, were never substantiated and the story died.

I remember if not for the blue dress Bill Clinton would have escaped too.

We will see if Alex was smart enough to keep the dress or Kerry was dumb enough to send letters.

FYI: Hillary is behind this

". . .while Australia's Melbourne Herald Sun, quoting a remark by the father of the woman in question, trumpeted "Sleazeball hit on my daughter."

That is the best headline. . .

AS to Brit's comments; have sensed a bit of controlled excitement with Brit over Kerry. . .but whatever his feelilngs are; his trite summation of the Kerry 'problem' was more than a little personally discrediting.

The Ameican media and print are handicappers during a modern election. They add or take off weights based on the strength of the lead horse. It's vital to keep it a contest down to the wire, a photo finish.

Right now the Bush horse is dragging a 74 Lincoln and the Kerry nag has a helium filled mount and a steam fired catapault just to make it a fair start.........

This is a non story. After all we were reminded during x42's term that this is about sex and is a private matter. If the RATs want to nominate a philandering, pro-abortion Roman Chatholic for President of the United States, so be it. Looking forward to the Church of Rome's advice if the French Looking John Kerry is the Democratic candidate.

The Radical Left held that the mass media are 'capitalist institutions,' 'serve a bourgeois interest,' 40 years ago. A time when they supported a communist revolution in America, a time when the cries to remove our troops from Vietnam was a tactic to enable the communists to win and for the Marxist ideal to be realised. The systematic corruption of the press was just another one of their tactics which produced another victory, as was the US's 'defeat' in Vietnam do to anti-war protesters who hampered the anti- communist goverment during that time. The media of today was takin by the left as a tool to spread the Marxist agenda. So the slanted storied that we see on the news today are no unlucky coincidence but a grab for power but a pro- communist radical left, and had been the tool of the entire left for years.

Mr. Kerry said Friday on "Imus in the Morning" there was nothing to the rumors.

Senator Kerry didn't know what he was doing when he voted to send troops to Iraq and Senator Kerry didn't know what he was doing when he voted to deny these same troops our financial support.

So...can we really hold Senator Kerry accountable for not knowing what his marriage vows really meant?

Can you hold the criminally insane accountable for their crimes?

Can you hold the criminally insane accountable for their crimes?

If you're referring to Kerry....the answer is ~~~~ Who cares. Let's focus on keeping Kerry out of the Oval Office.

I agree
