From the NYTimes article "Clark Comes Aboard Kerry Campaign" by Sheryl Gay Stolberg:
Earlier in the day, Mr. Kerry proclaimed himself a "fighter" in an interview with Don Imus, the radio talk show host.
Asked why Mr. Bush's National Guard service during the Vietnam era as well as the senator's own history as a decorated Vietnam veteran who became a war protester were an issue, Mr. Kerry said, "It seems to be the war that won't ever go away," and called it "the pivotal event of our generation."
He said of his decision to oppose the Vietnam War, "Look, I didn't love coming back from the war I fought in and having to tell people, `This is wrong, this is screwed up,' but it was and we lost a lot of lives."
Mr. Kerry also denied to Mr. Imus and again later to reporters in Wisconsin a charge posted Thursday on the Web site of the Internet gossip columnist Matt Drudge that the senator had had an extramarital affair.
"Is there anything, anything, that's going to come up?" Mr. Imus said, before making an oblique reference to the Drudge report.
Mr. Kerry replied: "There's nothing to report. So there's nothing to talk about. I'm not worried about it."
Later in the day after a town-hall-style question-and-answer appearance with Gov. Jim Doyle, Mr. Kerry told reporters: "I just deny it categorically. It's rumor. It's untrue, period."

I saw that picture when I searched under Alex's name but that picture was not her - it was an illustration within an article written by Alex.

Bill O'Reilly just hinted that some of this rumor was being fueled by fellow Democrats. Has anyone else heard this?

Suuuuure its rumor, Senator. Candidate Clinton said the same thing when confronted with the "bimbo eruption" episodes in 1992. Its uncanny how you trot out the Clinton Defense.

Funny, the Sept 11 terrorist attacks are the most pivotal event in recent memory (not to mention still pretty relevant)YET KERRY APPEARS TO HAVE GOTTEN OVER THEM!
Bush is forward thinking; the Democrats are self-absorbed.

How old is she?
I read 20 25, 27 SO FAR
If it's 20 he's a dirty old man.
If it's 25 + he's...a man
Still I question her behavior more than his(fooling around with a dimocrat gigolo), no wonder she won't admit it.

"It seems to be the war that won't ever go away," and called it "the pivotal event of our generation."How will he ever defend his vote to authorize military action in Iraq and his vote against funding the mission if Viet Nam was the pivotal event of his generation? Either you are in or you are out, the in between is for political cowards.

I think World War II was the "pivotal event" of Bob Dole and George Bush's generation, but they didn't make their wartime heroics the centerpiece of their campaign. If they had, they would have been accused of living in the past. Yet since the media is run by left-wing baby boomers, they love all this self-righteous navel-gazing.

Yet they adore Clinton. He's even running the campaigns.
Ironic, isn't it? A hero/commie sympathizer and a coward/commie sympathizer. What a team.

Pic of 'JFK' sex storm girl
Scandal ... Alex Poller
By BRIAN FLYNN
in New York
THIS is the girl at the centre of a sex scandal that threatens Democratic front-runner John Kerrys run for the White House.
Presidential hopeful Kerry, dubbed the new JFK, has denied claims he had a two-year fling with brunette Alex Polier. Alex, 27, was a cross-country runner and in the world affairs club at her Philadelphia school.
One source said: She was attractive, intelligent and one of the leaders in her year.
She went on to graduate from Columbia University, New York, and met Kerry, 60, as she began a career as a freelance journalist.
Denial ... John Kerry
But a probe was under way yesterday into allegations that twice-wed Kerry seduced her after inviting her to join his campaign team in spring 2001.
There is no evidence to support the claims. Dad-of-two Kerry was set to seal the nomination to take on George Bush in the November election when the allegations surfaced.
Alex, who is in Africa with her fiancé Yaron Schwartzman, refused to comment.

And did he have hemorrhoids? The people have a right to know! NY Times Investigation: Bush had Hemorrhoids ("all the news that's fit to print") FR thread.
Then there is his medical history, set out in more detail than many Americans might want to know. He had his tonsils removed as a young boy, had appendicitis when he was 10 and at 14 had an operation to remove a cyst from his chest, leaving a scar. At the time he applied for entrance into the guard, he had a hemorrhoid, the location of which was charted with military precision.
