OUT OF AFRICA: KERRY PREPARE RESPONSE TO MEDIA PROBE OF RELATIONSHIP

**Exclusive**

Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry is planning a response to a DRUDGE REPORT exclusive which first revealed the frantic behind-the-scenes drama surrounding a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry!

The nature and details of a claimed two-year relationship, beginning in the Spring of 2001, between a young woman and Kerry is at the center of serious investigations at several media outlets.

After being approached by a top news producer, the woman fled to Africa, where she remains, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Unlike the Monica Lewinsky drama, which first played out publicly in this space, with audio tapes, cigar and a dress, the Kerry situation has posed a challange to reporters investigating the claims.

"There is no lawsuit testimony this time [like Clinton with Paula Jones]," a top source said Thursday night. "It is hard to prove."

A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head.

Kerry is scheduled to appear on IMUS IN THE MORNING on Friday. Later he is scheduled to join General Wesley Clark, who, in an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue."

Reporters who witnessed Clark making the stunning comments marvel at the General's reluctance to later confirm they were spoken -- only to later endorse Kerry for the nomination!

Imus and Kerry together?

Uh, guess I'll have to read about here.

don't know.....could be either

"Soros. " Good guess. Whoever is paying her expenses in Africa is holding a big hammer over Kerry's head. It would be like Hillary to leak the story and then control the witness through her friend Soros.

The rat party is rotten to its evil core.

if the affair is over you need an explanation of why this is a problem that disqualifies him from office.

Compare and contrast.

As a campaign issue, President Bush would probably ask Americans if they want a return to the days of sex scandals and distraction in the White House, or if they want the adults to remain in charge.

It is easy to presume that one caught cheating is more likely to cheat again than one who has never cheated before.

Compared with Kerry's flip-flops on issues based on the prevailing sentiments, and now his allegations of cheating, it is easy to ask if he really stands for anything, including his marriage vows, his votes in Congress, his ability to negotiate with foreign leaders on our behalf, etc.

Timing was certainly convenient, wasn't it? Kerry's too stupid/undisciplined/amoral to be CinC. Gad, if he can't even keep it zipped after what Bubba did....

[Paulus Invictus]

Just how many idiots actually believed Klintoon when he said "I never had sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinski?" A whole lot believed. An equal number will believe anything Kerry says to deny his involvement with anyone not his wife. This is a fact of RAT life--believe the unbelievable and disbelieve the truth.

Let 'er eat yellowcake.

[RJayneJ]

Yes, Mrs. Kerry was born in Africa.

It is physically impossible to cut Hillary off at the legs. I mean, theoretically, if an infinite number of lumberjacks had an infinite number of chainsaws, it might be possible. The smart money, however, is on the monkeys typing The Complete Works of William Shakespeare<

LOL

[socal_parrot]

I think the response should start...

"My fellow Americans, some guys just shouldn't dring Jack Daniels..."

If all he did was have an affair, he might get away with it. but the fleeing to Africa will sink him. I am just sorry he only has 550 of the 2100 delegates needed for nomination. Edwards will be a much tougher candidate to deal with.

Not sure I agree completely - no war-hero stories with Edwards - but Rove must be getting pretty frustrated: every time he gears up to go against a Dem candidate, said Dem crashes and burns. Poor guy is probably preparing talking points on Kucinich at this point.

[uvular]

John Edwards, would you like to get something off your chest before the Clinton machine comes for you?

[leadpenny]

You'll watch. BTW, Kerry was scheduled to be on the show Friday before this story broke this morning.

Kerry probably would like to back out of this appearance now, but he knows he can't. This WILL be 20 minutes of pretty good television, imo.
