Powerlineblog.org: We Just Got A Tip (Breaking Story on Kerry?)

Powerline ^ | 10/23/04

[freespirited]

We just got a tip......that a major newspaper will break a front-page story Monday morning that could create a serious problem for the Kerry campaign. We don't yet have any details, but it relates to a foreign policy issue, and it will call into question--amazingly enough--John Kerry's truthfulness.

We'll watch for the story Sunday night and post it as soon as it becomes available.

[Squantos]

When it's pink ?

[Jose Roberto]

LOL!! They are already quoting me in the DU!! Poor souls, they are trying hard to maintain composure. And the Swift Vets are preparing their last torpedo to Kerry's heart; we'll see what the Swift Vets and the POW's have in their arsenal. It will be a rollercoaster the last week before election night.

[longfellow]

Therreeeesas a MAN, Baby Yeah!!

[highlandbreeze]

Shhhhhhh.

=0)

[Southack]

"when Kerry spoke before the racial correspondents' convention, he stated that he had met with the UN Security Council the week before the Senate vote on the Iraq war..."

Here's the transcript. I didn't catch a reference to the UN Security Council. Did I miss it?

IF this is true, will it ever really matter? To us, absolutely. But everyone else?

[FredZarguna]

This thread oughta get its own TV show, like Seinfeld. It's about nothing.

Yeah, but it's not even amusing. How 'bout this: Kerry loses the election amidst rampant voter fraud, and a Federal Judge (Reagan appointee) sentences Kerry to be John O'Neill's butler? I could watch that.

[Petronski]

I guess to get the most bang for the buck because on the weekends there isn't as much attention paid to news.

That'd be my guess. The absolute best rollout for a story like this would be a pm Sunday leak, Monday publication.

I'll leave it to Karl.

[Halls]

Yeah i saw that over at DU. I never go over there, but wanted to see if they have really read FR and are posting what we are saying over there. Sure enough, they are. To funny! They need to get a life!

As far as this being the last week, I will more than likely be in my jamas most of the time on the puter checking in on updates!! This is going to be fun!

4 more years y'all!!

[mware]

I'm going out on a limb and say Washington Post.

[Merciful_Friend]

If it happens, and if it's in a liberal newspaper like the NY Times, I would look for the link back to the Clintons.

[embedded_rebel]

A tree falling in the forest will make more noise than the Washington Times.

[processing please hold]

A leopard never changes its spots.

[Mo1]

During a time of war ... it's usually not to cool to go behind your country's back and be snuggling up with the enemy

So IF this is true ... it will back fire on Kerry

[OldSgt.]

What ever and whoever makes sKerry accountable for the truth of his past, is all I can pray for.

When The Hildabeast starts running I'll deal with that then.

One wooden stake to the heart at a time.

Update from INDC:

"It's not huge, but it's interesting.

This probably is not the blockbuster we are hoping for; it is just being hyped since they got some advance info on the story.....but that doesn't mean it is a true October surprise that will kill Kerry.

[cajungirl]

My guess,,,nothing at all.

but, does this mean we have to wear our pj's all day tomorrow?

There is so much hysteria lately, I am of the opinion we will all be disappointed. But Kerry will lose anyway.

[fish hawk]

When it's the "butt"?

[faithincowboys]

Life is good if this pans out. He deserves this.

But hasn't his truthfulness been called into question 10 million times already in this campaign?

[jennyjenny]

Now, I do think it is fun to post stuff on here that gets the DUmmies going and then go over there to read the hysteria. But those DU'ers.....scary group of people. It is really bothersome to me that we have that much stupidity in this country. They are paranoid to the point that it is funny. They are so ignorant to the point that it is sad. They are whining cry babies to the point that it is sickening. They come off as a bunch of 13 year old bratty high school valley girls.
