Drudge implied last night that his source came from the US news organization that has conducted the interview and is researching the claims further to substantiate them.

The one thing we can count on is this story will get played out now. Eventually a reporter is going to catch up with her and ask her about it if nothing else.

I find it odd that she hasn't issued a statement already. If there's nothing to report, as Kerry claims, surely she would've sent an email or something saying the same thing by now. She has to know she's all over the news. If she wants to continue being a journalist, she's got to know her professional career might be on the line.

If it gets widely reported that ABC has a taped interview, eventually, people are going to be screaming that they should show it. They can't hide from this forever. Neither can the Polier woman.

It's only a matter of time as well before a British tabloid figures out who Polier's 'female friend with wild tales' is and interviews her.

We're bound to find out sooner or later.

This propertius freeper in Kenya knows (apparently) who made the 'nastier than reported' remark. Eventually, if nothing else, that person is going to spill the beans to a reporter.

I don't see how they can keep a lid on this thing.

The question I have is whether it is better for this to come out now or wait until after the primaries. With his very, very liberal track record I see Kerry as the easier candidate to beat than Edwards (Crazy Howie would be the Pubbies dream candidate). Of course Hillary would be formidable also, but the hated of her in this country is so high I doubt she would win against W now, maybe in 2008 against another candidate. So I feel it be better for this to drag on for a while -- keep it just below the surface and later in the spring let it explode.

She may have had an agreement with ABC to ot talk publicly about the issue. It's only been a couple of days since the story broke big time, so she also may be consulting lawyers, advisers, etc. about the best way to respond to it without damaging her personal life or career. It's also possible someone somewhere has offered her a bundle of $$$ to keep her mouth shut from here on out, but since she apparently already talked to ABC, seems like that would make little difference now.

I'm pretty sure one article named the friend. I have to leave for a bit, but I'll try to look later if nobody else has come up with it yet.
