interesting. I must say, it does seem that Drudge's claim was groundless...

"We care about the places our on-line ads appear, and that site doesn't reflect the values of AT&T Wireless,"

"We have opted instead to continue our advertising purchases in such venues as "Hustler," "The New York Times," and various outhouse walls, locales which more closely resemble our corporate environment."

From the article: ...Matt Drudge is widely credited with being right on Newsweek's Monica Lewinsky story...

-----
And IMHO he will be right about this one too. Not necessarily about Ms. Polier. Remember the original report said it was with an "intern". According to Ms. Polier, she never interned for Kerry. I think the attention was thrown toward Ms. Polier as a smoke screen and to discredit Drudge. I believe there is still an intern out there who is the REAL subject of this investigation. I have no way of knowing for sure, but there's a real stench about this is one with strange twists already.

Here's my letter to AT&T Wireless.

Mr. Pemble,

I understand that you cancelled your advertising on the Drudge Report based upon a complaint from one person. OK, I am an AT&T Wireless Customer, Account XXXXXXXXX. I am complaining that you dropped your advertising in the Drudge Report.

I'm assuming that my complaint will hold as much weight as that of Mr.Robert Caraway. I'm assuming that you will immediately reinstate your advertising on the Drudge Report.

Sincerely,

Stephen R. Xxxxxxxx

BTW- I'm an AT&T customer ONLY because my company pays for the phone.

The reason I say it seems groundless is because Drudge has completely dropped this story, which is uncharacteristic of him. As of yet the mainstream media (I know, I know) hasn't confirmed any of this and the alleged intern has denied ever even working for Kerry.

Is it possible that Drudge is right and this is the next big scandal? Sure. But as it stands right now, it's just another claim by an independent newsman. And believe me, I'm a Drudge fan (Drudge Report, not Retort*)... but he could still be wrong.

This maybe a parody page of Drudge, but it is still parading trash. General Wesley "the Mouth" Clark alledged a Kerry intern problem. He did it in front of ten or twelve mainstream "reporters". That event did not get reported until Drudge.

Drudge generally doesn't do his own stories. They are shopped by someone else, or someone gives him a tip. This parody says the Danny Williams story is proven false by DNA. That is completely wrong. They were unable to compare Danny William's DNA to Clinton's. An idiot reporter thought the information on Clinton's DNA was in the court record. Guess what, lawyers have agreed to not put the correct DNA information into the record.

So this retort points to one real incorrect story, the Sidney Blumenthal one, over Drudge's entire time and says he has a poor track record?

Bottom line, this parody has made more errors in this one story, omitting the original source (Clark), omitting the political affiliation of the VP of ATT wireless, omitting the name of the story happened in May 2001, etc.

Compare that with the number of papers that flew out with the fake presidential IQ stories or Jayson Blair, or the last faked dissatified Bush supporter NYT, etc ad nauseum.

Every time a story on how inaccurate Drudge is, the more I laugh. Wesley Clark says something so newsworthy and reportable in front of ten or twelve reporters, and no one puts it up in a day? They should have outed that one in five minutes.

That story about Danny Williams was covered up.

He is the son of Bill Clinton

Don't believe anything that the media says about DNA or about Clinton.

Larry Nichols states that Danny Williams IS tne illegitimate son of Bill Clinton and a prostitute.

The story was covered up with bogus DNA info and Ms. Williams, (the prostitute) was paid off in order to not dispute the issue.

Larry Nichols has never been wrong about the Clintons and has been in contact with ABC,CBS,NBC, CNN in reguards to Hillaries run in 2004.

YES FOLKS THAT'S RIGHT....2004.

Look for a Clinton / Edwards ticket by the time the DEMONCRAT convention ends.

You can bet your life on it.
