"For the last several days I have seen Internet and tabloid rumors relating to me and Senator John Kerry. Because these stories were false, I assumed the media would ignore them. It seems that efforts to peddle these lies continue, so I feel compelled to address them. I have never had a relationship with Senator Kerry, and the rumors in the press are completely false. Whoever is spreading these rumors and allegations does not know me, but should know the pain they have caused me and my family. I am in Kenya with my fiance visiting his family, and we ask that the press respect our privacy and leave all of us alone."

"What does she get by denying?
1. Maybe marriage to wealth finance.
2. Her name disappears from the public medium, and she resumes a normal life. "

and:
3. She suddenly has upexplained cash in bank account.

No mention of the taped interview I see. Has everyone agrred to let that disappear down the memory hole?

Toespi said this on the thread that was just locked:

This situation has been handled privately some time ago. There was going to be a charge made against Kerry by this girl and her parents. A cash settlement was agreed upon with the caveat that if it was ever leaked by the parties the agreement would be null and void and the cash settlement would be returned because of breech of contract.

The release of the girl's statement today, after some UK papers wrote yesterday that a TV interview had been done leads me to believe that some serious negotiating went on last night, and the I don't think the Kerry's were calling the shots.

Sounds to me like someone on the girl's side may have known what they were doing.

Who knows? Had to be cheaper than repairing a dumb-ass Shavetail who can't hold onto a live grenade.

OK, I found this thread.

Good grief.

[Notasoccermom]

Notice there is no outrage. no slander or libel suits being filed.

(Second post of this comment so it appears on this break of the thread.)

Refresh my memory -- I don't recall Drudge ever naming a particular person. I think I recall the name being raised by other sources. I could be wrong, but if not, and considering the report that other media have been working on the story, that would mean that there is still something to this -- it just doesn't involve Ms. Polier.

Anybody?

[timpad]

So why didn't she stay home and say this? Why didn't mommy and daddy say this right away?

Because JFKerry's check bounced? I'll bet TerRAYza's cleared the Swiss bank today.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Either follow the money, or follow the threat.

[OXENinFLA]

The press is reporting the denial of something which the press didn't report to begin with?

Now that's a great point.

Your correct.......this was planted on a web blog about two weeks ago by someone connected to the Clark camp.

This was designed to deflect attention from the Kerry record.

See these next two months are crucial......the first one ....Kerry or Bush to define the other......sets the tone for the coming fall campaign. So here comes this Kerry has a bimbo on the side......and what does our side do.....runs with it.....and gets nowhere.

We need to get back to searching for the Fonda-Kerry photo.

That photo scares the RATS more than this story does.

I think it is odd this story "breaks" after Clinton has his pow wow with the dwarves in DC two weeks ago.

"Maybe she was 24 when she started 'seeing' Kerry."

Perhaps you are right.

One article will say she [Polier] is 24, another says 27.

Although H.J. Heinz doesn't sell annuities, they just bought a big one. Just enough mustard to cover Kerry's wiener!

[hoosiermama]

BLACKMAIL??? Surely you aren't suggesting blackmail? /sarc

[tbeatty]

We have spoken to our daughter and the allegations that have been made regarding her are completely false and unsubstantiated

Does anyone else see what's missing?

Only the allegations regarding her are false. They left out Senator Kerry in that. I think that is deliberate. He's still a sleazeball in their minds and hopefully we'll find out why. They didn't want to exonerate him, only their daughter.

"So why didn't she stay home and say this? Why didn't mommy and daddy say this right away? Oh no, this hasn't put out the fire. It just fanned the flames.
"

Because she's visiting her fiance and his family in Kenya? My wife came to visit my family before we were married. It's a pretty common phenomenon, seems to me.

I think we were bamboozled by this story. Drudge printed rumors, which came from somewhere. Now, it seems that those rumors are probably not true. Better that we drop this story...it's likely to embarrass.

[LWalk18]

Why was the thread locked? Was it related to what Toespi said or another reason?

[beckysueb]

What story? How can they report something as not true that they never reported to start with.

[Dog]

I still believe that the woman in Kerry's life who will bring him down is Jane Fonda and they're on the record hatred of the military and the USA.

BINGO!!!!

Fonda is radioactive to this day 30 some years later.

That will be what brings Kerry down.

[MineralMan]

"Well, then I can't see how she ALSO gave an interview about her "affair" to a US tv network.
"

Probably never happened. That was a "report" in the UK media that such an interview had happened. There has been no confirming information. This story has the potential to embarrass conservatives, and deserves to be simply dropped.

"The statement did not address purported quotes by Polier's parents in Britain's The Sun newspaper that were harshly critical of Kerry."

I wonder what the Sun thinks about Daddy's change of opionion of Kerry
