Confirmation of Drudge on key points regarding Kerry allegations

Edited on Fri Feb-13-04 09:39 AM
Like it or not, Drudge's story has been proven accurate on several counts.

1. The woman allegedly involved was a young woman.

2. She has been identitifed as Alex Polier, and her parents have confirmed that Kerry was "involved" with her in what they perceived as an inappropriate way in the past few years (recently).

3. She DOES work for AP.

4. She IS in Africa (Kenya) right now.

5. According to news reports she has declined any comment (she has NOT denied the story).

6. Kerry has responded to the story (Drudge said he was preparing a response)

(Sorry - you must cut and paste the whole address for some reason)

IN my opinion Kerry's answer on Imus was a nondenial denial.

It remains to be seen whether Miss Polier was an intern at AP or for Kerry or an intern at all.

But so far I would have to say most of Drudge's story has held up to scrutiny.

Can an affair be proved? Who the hell knows.

Keep in mind Kerry's slippery answer a couple of weeks ago about the Botox issue.

He was on a radio talk show and, when the host said there are reports of Botox treatments, Kerry said "I haven't heard it. No, don't know about it". Kerry was obviously DENYING HE HAD HEARD THE REPORTS, not denying he got Botox treatments. But the MediaCrats dutifully reported that he had denied using Botox.

Same thing here. Not really an answer.

It is obvious from Alex Polier's AP stories that she is of the liberal persuasion. I can't imagine she will cooperate with anything that hurts a lying, cheating, adulterer if he is a Democrat candidate. To do that she would have to have integrity ...

Kerry to answer sex affair claim
By New York Correspondent PHILLIP COOREY
14Feb04


FACING the first crisis of his campaign, Democratic presidential nomination front-runner John Kerry will today respond to allegations he had a two-year affair with a young woman who has since fled the country.

Branded a political dirty trick by the Democrats, the pro-Republican Drudge Report website yesterday accused Senator Kerry, 60, of having an affair that threatened "to turn the race for the presidency on its head".

At the centre of the allegations is Alex Polier, 24, who had worked as a New York-based reporter for Associated Press. She now is now in Kenya.

Her parents, Donna and Terry, speaking from Malvern, Pennsylvania yesterday, said there was no evidence of an affair, only that Senator Kerry may have been attracted to their daughter.

Mr Polier said Senator Kerry had called his daughter "two or three years ago" to ask her to work on his re-election team. She declined.

"I think he's a sleaze-ball," Mr Polier told London's Sun newspaper.

Mrs Polier claimed Senator Kerry was "after" her daughter.

Drudge, which broke the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, alleged yesterday that a young woman, "recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry" after a two-year affair beginning in early 2001.

Drudge further claimed General Wesley Clark, in an off-the-record conversation this week with reporters just before he dropped out of the race for the White House, said that "Kerry will implode over an intern issue".

General Clark made no mention of this during an interview with CNN yesterday. Today, he will throw his support behind Senator Kerry as the Democrat candidate to challenge George W. Bush at the November 2 federal election.

Senator Kerry is married to Teresa Heinz, heiress of the food empire.

He has two daughters from his first marriage, which ended in 1990.

This report appears on NEWS.com.au.

The article in the Sun and the Australian article talk about him being sleazy, and having an attraction for the girl, but nowhere does it state there was ever anything more, in fact it sounds like she rebuffed him. IF that is the STORY, then this is a NON-STORY, except in as much as it has effectively innoculated him against what are probably REAL allegations, and we all took the bait, sink, line, and hooker..
