KERRY MYSTERY WOMAN DATED CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHIEF

**Exclusive**

A woman at the center of John Kerry intrigue dated longtime Kerry Finance Director Peter Maroney, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

When pressed by media outlets in recent week, the Kerry campaign confirmed the relationship, according to top sources.

Alex Polier on Monday denied "Internet and tabloid rumors relating to me and Senator John Kerry."

Rumors swirling around Polier ignited a behind-the-scenes campaign drama.

As first reported in this space, a serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

TIME magazine's Tim Burger and ABC NEWS have developed intriguing elements to the case, sources reveal.

She would joke that she was dating the next president of the United States, says a source.

Polier's flippant remarks and flirtatious manner, according to friends, fueled the intrigue.

In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments. "This guy is going to blow up. Have you seen the NATIONAL ENQUIRER story" [on Kerry's womanizing].

The Kerry commotion is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, campaign sources said.

Developing...

Fox News is reporting that the parents never said that he was a sleezeball and that they intend to vote for Kerry in the fall.

Guess Theresa had to get out that checkbook, again.

[cyborg]

This story is bizarro.

[lainie]

by the way, I was amused to see the AP label the family's home as a "compound," being as they're liberals. Maybe that word is no longer reserved exclusively for right wing government hating nut job wackos.

Bump for the No Way Out reference BBL!

A "blind?" Could be a "beard"?

[alnick]

So Time and ABC are going to try to play it off as Alex just joking around.

Uh...hello. That's not her real Friendster account. You've been spoofed a little, I think. Not everything here is to be taken at face value.

Touche! (Beard vs blind)

I think I should rent the movie again to see what happens next! :)

This allegation is gravely serious, even in the absence of factual corroboration. Kerry should release all of his dating records covering the last 30 years. The records must address all uncorroborated carnal malfeasances, including those with Jane Fonda.

George Bush and Clarence Thomas will review the records and judge accordingly, or at least express deeply-felt outrage and indignation.

[jimbo123]

It's hers.

hmm.

PRESIDENTIAL hopeful John Kerry was branded a “sleazeball” last night by the parents of a young woman he allegedly tried to woo.

Alex Polier, 24, was named as the woman at the centre of a scandal that threatens to damage Democrat Kerry’s bid for the White House.

Her mother Donna claims Kerry, 60 — dubbed the new JFK — once chased Alex to be on his campaign team and was “after her”.

There is no evidence the pair had an affair, but her father Terry, 56, said: “I think he’s a sleazeball. I did kind of wonder if my daughter didn’t get that kind of feeling herself.

“He’s not the sort of guy I would choose to be with my daughter.”

Terry, of Malvern, Pennsylvania, added: “John Kerry called my daughter and invited her down to Washington two or three years ago.

“He invited her to be on his re-election committee. She talked to him and decided against it.”

Well the standard "nuts and sluts" defense will work perfectly on this one, she's obviously both.

She describes herself as a socialite? What kind of person does that? And then talks about herself as a "just another hot piece of ass"? A nut and a slut alright. Which only makes the rumors all the more believable.

This whole thing gets yukkier by the day.

"It's hers."

Horsehockey.

Hannity has a book comming out? Gee, you would never know listening to his radio show.

Drudge is nobody's fool. At the end of the day he will make the media look like fools. He will show how news is generated/planted by political operatives with the assistance of political editors. He knows the real story here, and I can't wait to find out what it is. Don't think CNN et al are going to like it one bit.

[jimbo123]

Whatever.

[mtbopfuyn]

If she went to Kenya in Oct, why the heck is she still there? How did she do the ABC interview in Dec? There was some quote by the fiance's relatives that's bugging me but can't think what it was.

This is the lie matt said they would use last night
