    Bye bye John Kerry?

    Hahaha! I love it.

    And it looks like there are quite a few sources about to break this!

    XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU FEB 12, 2004 11:45:28 ET XXXXX

    CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS: KERRY FIGHTS OFF MEDIA PROBE OF RECENT ALLEGED INFIDELITY, RIVALS PREDICT RUIN

    **World Exclusive**
    **Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**

    A frantic behind-the-scenes drama is unfolding around Sen. John Kerry and his quest to lockup the Democratic nomination for president, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

    Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

    A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

    MORE

    A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head!

    In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments.]

    The Kerry commotion is why Howard Dean has turned increasingly aggressive against Kerry in recent days, and is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision not to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, top campaign sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

    Those Dems crack me up. Attaboy to Howard Dean's people for planting this story.

        Further quote from Drudge's main page:

        FROM CONRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S CRAIG CRAWFORD: 'Drudge item on Kerry intern issue is something Chris Lehane (clark press secy) has shopped around for a long time -- it was one reason the Gore vetters in 2000 shied away from Kerry as a running mate choice -- their conclusion that it wasn't bad enough to disqualify him, except for the fact that they couldn't risk it as they were trying so hard to distance themselves from Clinton's personal failings (note: Lehane worked for Gore at the time -- and briefly advised Kerry during this campaign). The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it'...

          Just as the original Judas ended up hanging himself after betraying Jesus Christ, so has this modern day Judas now done to himself for his betrayal of Democrats.

          Couldn't have happenned to a nicer guy.... Sure hope the Wisconsin voters are paying attention

          And no, the Dean camp did not plant the story. If that were the case, how could Clark have had advanced knowledge of it?

            BTW Chris Lehane worked for Judas before Clark. He's known for being a sleazeball in political circles, sort of a Lee Atwater in training. Wouldn't be surprised if his grudge against the Kerry camp was personal, since they fired him.

                Dean might still have a chance yet.

                    I wonder if this is the reason the Bush administration was so cheeky about going up against Kerry?

                    I'm just giddy right now.

                      Nope. If Kerry goes down for this (Let us pray!) They wil have eliminated the weakest candidate, and the one who could NOT beat Bush.

                      Either Dean or Edwards (hopefully Dean) will defeat Junior

                        I haven't seen any of the major news outlets reporting this, yet, and until they are, Kerry won't be harmed by it. You think the liberal mainstream media are going to try to destroy their own candidate?

                          The mainstream media's not liberal, and FAUX has been funding Kerry. They would probably like Judas to stick around to be Junior's sacrificial lamb, but a good scandal to spike their ratings could change their minds. They milked Clinton bashing all the way to the Iraq war, didn't they?

                            The whole Lewinsky thing started out very quietly too.

                            Dean doesn't have a chance in Hell if Kerry has to drop. Edwards will be their man.

                              According to that news article you posted, News Corp, as a whole, isn't funding the Kerry campaign, but just one member of the board, the Chief Operating Officer. Rupert Murdoch is a Republican, so I doubt he would be funding Kerry in any shape or form. You'll never be able to convince me that a guy that votes in Congress more liberal than Edward Kennedy is being backed by Conservative interests. You fail to mention the part of that article that says that the Viacom Chief Executive, Sumner Redstone, who gave $1000 to the Kerry campaign, also gave $3,000 to the re-election campaign of Tom Daschle (one of the most liberal members of Congress, mind you), and $5000 to the Democratic senatorial campaign committee. The Viacom Chief Operating Officer also made a big donation to the Daschle campaign. You are generalizing when you say that Kerry is being backed by the "right wing machine", as you put it, just because one member of the News Corp board is donating money to the Kerry campaign. Because one board member of a corporation donates money to a campaign, doesn't mean the corporation as a whole backs the campaign of a certain candidate. Corporate board members have different political beliefs, and different party affiliations, just like the general population.
