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?

> 
> 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.

the
Democratic ticket to run against President George Bush in November.
