John Kerry Girl Tells All

THE beauty said to have had a fling with presidential hopeful John Kerry has recorded a bombshell tell-all interview.

Journalist Alex Polier taped a talk with a US TV network at Christmas.

The former Washington intern, 27, told all about an alleged fling with the 60-year-old super-rich senator in spring 2001.

The channel is sitting on the tape until it has enough evidence to back her story. If the sex claims are true, they would shatter his White House hopes. Kerry, a married dad of two, has denied the fling. But Alex told pals she fled to Kenya on his suggestion.

One TV source said: “She wants to tell her story. She has talked at length about her relationship with Kerry. But no one is believing her.”

Kerry was front-runner for the Democratic nomination to take on George Bush in November. His hopes were hit as hints of a scandal emerged.

We need another "Smoking Dress" to get this out.

LOL.....Good one.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Were there any committes that John F'n Kerry and CONDIDIT both served on....did they "hang out" together....?

Considering that Condidit was in the House and John Effin' Kerry is in the Senate, I doubt it very much.

BUMP!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I'm sure the interview is with Katy Couric whispering to her "just between us girls, what happened".

[Conservative til I die]

Is it possible that while this damages Kerry, with the shortened primary season and the amount of delegates Kerry has compared to Edwards, that Kerry still manages to beat out Edwards, damaged as he might be?

I dunno how the DNC sets its rules regarding the nomination process, but if Kerry has the most delegates, is there any way the Dems don't have to nominate him?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I love the smell of burnt Democrats in the morning!

[Time4Atlas2Shrug]

In another Drudge article, the story described Alex Polier as a tall attractive blonde. Clairol?

Anyway, I hope the Republicans stay away from this one! Just let it play itself out and if it is true, then Bush will have remained above the fray. Kerry is already trying to blame this one on Republicans and the media will bite very soon. The UK articles are already setting the stage for what will morph into a "vast right-wing conspiracy".

The stuff below is from a philly.com story as currently linked on the Drudge Report. If Miss Polier was 18 at graduation she should now be about 27.

A global media scrum descended on the Chester County [Philadelphia] suburb of Malvern yesterday because of
a furor over a rumored romantic link between a 1995 Great Valley High School grad and
presidential hopeful John Kerry.

Despite the frenzy, little information was forthcoming yesterday, and there was no confirmation of
any relationship between Kerry and the woman.

Several news trucks and assorted gawkers loitered outside the home of the parents of
27-year-old Alexandra Polier after her dad was quoted in a British tabloid that Kerry was "a
sleazeball" who'd shown an interest in his daughter.

There is no Bush AWOL story!! Gillespie put them on notice: This is slander! They can proceed at their own peril.

This is reminicent of NBC's holding the tape of Juanita until after the election. Never forget Russert was a part of that cover-up.

[Time4Atlas2Shrug]

I think that the Dems couldn't care less. It is "only sex", afterall. They would nominate Larry Flynt if they thought he might beat Bush.

[Time4Atlas2Shrug]

Also, it is interesting that Wes Clark tells the press "off the record" (as if that could happen) about the intern implosion and endorses Kerry the next day. Hmmm...I smell a rat.

[Deo volente]

Get the poor girl an agent, negotiate the fee and the book deal, and get her out there, in front of the cameras! Diane Sawyer would be perfect.


"BRING IT ON!"

[Political Junkie Too]

It's never too late for the Dems to pull a switcheroo...remember what they did in New Jersey. The same could happen here...Kerry is the nominee, but come October, he resigns and withdraws. The Dems go to the Supreme Court becuase the public "must" have a choice, they put Hillary as the sub, not giving the Repubs enough time to combat her, and she wins!!

I'm not trying to be melodramatic hear, but I think a scenario like this could kill the nation.

The New Jersey situation was for the Senate and was limited to an election in one state. The presidential election is nationwide. There is already precedent for a party running a losing candidate -- see Walter Mondale, who only won one state. The Supreme Court has to keep a candidate as the party representative, no matter how foregone the conclusion looks, otherwise poll-driven chaos will result.

If the Democrats tried something like that nationwide, every state in the union would protest on equal protection grounds. You just can't force 50 states to alter their ballots one month before an election that was scheduled by Congress in 1845. Furthermore, the Democrat Party would take a serious hit by people asking why they can't field candidates who can last the duration. The party's inability to field a strong candidate is no reason for the Supreme Court to alter 215 years of election tradition. There are no mulligans in Presidential politics.

Finally, a Supreme Court battle over this kind of gaming of national elections will rip the court apart, and the blame will fall squarely on the Democrats.

Except that the GOP didn't drop this story... W. Clark and Chris Lehane did.

If the sex claims are true, they would shatter his White House hopes.

How can anyone with a brain make this claim, given what we know about recent history?

[CyberAnt]

Are you serious? You think it's harassment instead of consent?

[Mo1]

My guess is that Teresa Heinz has a much shorter fuse and a much tighter pre-nup.

I agree that she has a shorter fuse and a much tighter pre-nup

But I've been watching her in the campaign stops, she's busting her butt all over the place. She WANTS to be First Lady

[Paulie]

I wonder if the Beast recons this improves her chances for a shot at the WH in '04.

[CyberAnt]

"was"

Yeah, I noticed that too. So far I haven't heard any earth shattering polls showing Kerry is losing support. But .. I don't suppose the media will report it, except maybe for Fox.

[Mo1]

They would nominate Larry Flynt if they thought he might beat Bush.

Most of them .. yes they would

That's why this whole story makes no sense on why it's a big deal for the dems
