Let's see now. I can trust the word of an established and respectable news
service (CNN) who doesn't seem to have ANYTHING on this allegation or I can
believe a right wing (slightly slanted) news service reporting (again) on what
they perceive to be sexual exploits of a Democrat.
Gee. That is a tough call.
I think that I will stay with CNN, ok?

> Mystery of Kerry and the Intern
>
> By Mark Sage, PA News, in New York
>
> Allegations against Vietnam war hero John Kerry today threatened his runaway
presidential
campaign.
>
> Right-wing news web site The Drudge Report – which broke the Monica Lewinsky
scandal –
claimed a woman close to Senator Kerry recently left America at his behest.
>
> It also reported that his former rival for the Democratic nomination, General
Wesley
Clark, told reporters in an off-the-record conversation last week: “Kerry will
implode
over an intern issue.”
>
> Internet columnist Matt Drudge said three reporters could confirm the
comments by former
Nato Supreme Allied Commander Clark, who quit the race for the party’s
nomination
yesterday amid poor results.
>
> He also claimed that Time magazine, ABC News, Washington Post and Associated
Press – where
the woman in question was said to have once worked – had been investigating her
relationship with Kerry for several days.
>
> Decorated Vietnam veteran Kerry is married to Theresa Heinz Kerry, the
wealthy heiress to
the food empire.
>
> Drudge claimed a close friend of the mystery woman approached a reporter late
last year
claiming “fantastic stories”.
>
> He also suggested that behind-the-scenes panic in the Kerry camp was
prompting former
campaign front-runner, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, to increase his
attacks on
Kerry in the last few days.
>
> Drudge said that explained why Dean decided to reverse his decision to drop
out of the
race if he failed to win the Wisconsin primary on February 17.
>
> Senator Kerry, from Massachusetts, is currently the runaway favourite to win
the
Democratic ticket to run against President George Bush in November.
>
> He has won 12 of the 14 state primaries and caucuses held so far.
>
> Kerry was born on December 11, 1943 in Denver, Colorado. He has two children
from his
first marriage, and three step-children with his current wife.
>
> A Kerry campaign spokesman had no immediate comment in response to the claims.
